Hello,
You could do something like this to start:
protected function _getSubDomain() {
$url = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
return $url[0];
}
public function index() {
$locale = $this->_getSubDomain();
if($getSubDomain != 'www') {
$cityresults = $this->Thread->find('all', array(
'recursive' => -1,
'conditions' => array(
'city_slug' => $locale
),
'limit' => 50
));
debug($cityresults);
} else {
//site at www.
}
}
