v0.8 system upgrade
Add a parallel site, under a different domain name for a local soccer club
Site Construction
We created an informational website for a local soccer club using two cornerstone requirements:
- Use only core plone content types, portlets, viewlets
- Rapid development using custom packages based on the concepts in Professional Plone Development and paster templates. This effort was geared to gluing the pieces together so they are readily visible to the viewer, including a marginally custom frontpage, a couple simple portlets and some custom tabs.
Website Changes
The intent of the new site is to be disassociated with Dahetral Systems, but running under the same Zope executable and using the same database. We used Apache NameVirtualHost styles to separate the domain names and rewrite them to the desired Plone site.
There is some concern about "older" browsers not providing enough information to Apache to make the NameVirtualHost decision. However, the last threads of this seem to be in the 2004 timeframe.
