You have a couple of options.
1. Setup virtual hosts on your web server and find a way to keep the
public folders seperate(easy in passenger on apache, but cannot speak
for anything else). This does not allow for having seperate view
files for each subdomain.
2. In addition to or instead of 1, use the code below in your
application controller and call it before every request with the theme
for that request (i.e. get it from the params in one way or another -
I use a database lookup as my sites are defined in the db, but that is
not nescessary unless you require it for another reason).
Note that the code below will expect the different views in a folder
called 'themes/<<theme>>/views' - change this to wherever you want to
store it.
The good thing about this method is that it uses rails to do the
clever stuff and if the view file that you want isn't in the folder
specified, then it will look in existing locations i.e. your
application. This is useful if you want all of your subdomains to
keep the same view files as the app UNLESS you want to change them for
that subdomain.
def set_theme(theme)
@theme=theme
Thread.current[:current_theme]=theme
prepend_view_path([
::ActionView::ReloadableTemplate::ReloadablePath.new
(Rails::public_path + "/themes/#...@theme}/views")])
end
