• Title: Fixing pro domain login for Etherpad installations running on XX YY ZZ type hosting IE prodomain.etherpad.mydomain.com

    Date: 2010.03.25 | Category: Uncategorized

    Overview:
    This is a partial fix to the problem that etherpad assumes to be installed on a domain of the form x.y
    This patch makes it work for an z.x.y domain, probably breaking it for x.y domains (but I don’t know javascript enough to be sure – parts[2] will be undefined though)
    To make it properly we should check how many elements there are into parts[]. Until this is done this is a mere workaround.
    Modified code:  (pro_utils.js) – Usually found in /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/pro
    Lines 47 – 54 should be modified to read:
    function getRequestSuperdomain() {
    var parts = request.domain.split(‘.’);
    parts.reverse();
    if (parts[0] == “.”) {
    parts.shift();
    }
    return [parts[2], parts[1], parts[0]].join(‘.’);
    }
