Domain Mapper

Domain mapper for concrete5 version 7 will map any domain to any page on your site! We've added some exciting new functionality that didn't exist in the previous versions:

  • Changes site links to reflect the proper domain 
    Domain mapper will now manage updating your site links to your mapped domains! 
  • Strips the base path from your mapped domains
    Domains mapped no longer need to have mapped path included! 

 

Features

  1. Navigating to the old url for a page will redirect you to the new domain
  2. Mapped paths are not included in the mapped domains. If "careers.example.com" is mapped to "/about/careers", navigating to "http://careers.example.com" will show you the "/about/careers" page!
  3. Links and URL's that aren't hard coded will automatically be updated to reflect your new domain

Examples

Example 1

Say we have a default concrete5 install with a "blogs" section located at "/blogs" but we want to serve it from a "blogs" subdomain, all we have to do is add a new mapped domain "blogs.example.com" type that domain and select the "blogs" page. 

What once was "www.example.com/blogs/some-blog-post" is now "blogs.example.com/some-blog-post"!

 

Example 2

You have careers section in your site at "example.com/team/about/careers/" but you want all traffic to go through your highly secured HTTPS "example-careers.com" domain. Navigate to the domains dashboard page and add a new mapped domain with the domain "example-careers.com" then select the "/team/about/careers" page using the page selector. That's it!
