Modify the comments form to use a full URL?
I’ve been using the excellent if_domain plugin to run to 2 sites off the same TXP installation, and share content. It works a treat, but I’ve come unstuck with the comments system.
The main domain (domain A) works fine, but comments submitted at domain B redirects to domain A. I’ve managed to hack the /publish/comments.php file to create the full URL in the form’s action and backspace attributes, e.g:
<form action="http://sub.domain-b.com/blog/blog-post#cpreview">
rather than
<form action="/blog/blog-post#cpreview">
The HTML has the right URL, but when submitting, the redirected URL is something like:
http://themain.domain-ahttp//sub.domain.com/blog/blog-post?commented=1#c000016
Does anyone have any good ideas of how to get around this? Should I be trying to use an apache redirect on domain B?
The comment is recorded fine, its just that it redirects you to show the post in domain A rather than B.

Sencer did answer this, but it seems to have gone. Anyway, thanks Sencer, that worked, along with commenting out a line concerning the $backspace variable.

Oh, really? After posting the answer, I was sure that the problem was not the action, but in fact the backspace, so I removed my post until I had more time to check it out. Well, I am glad you got it working, though. ;)

It was both! Your way of adding the full URL was much neater than what I’d come up with, but it then needed the backspace line to commented out. Thanks!

What was you’re solution then?

I should’ve commented my code better – I’ve just come back to look at the hacked file and I can’t remember what I’ve done! If you need the solution too, drop me an email, and I can send you the hacked file at least!
