Re: How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
The marketing department disagrees with that, and unfortunately we
need to match our marketing materials.

Re: How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
Hello Paris,
if you would like to make all users go to www. instead of your domain only,
you should change some settings in your apache config.
First, modify your vhost file (if possible):
AllowOverride all
Then all you have to do is edit your .htaccess file which should be in
/path_to/cake/app/webroot:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
Hope this helps,
Faifas

Re: How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
ahh. yea i never thought of it that way; however, the issue goes beyond that. How about for the purposes of SSL. If SSL is enabled on www.x.com then it will not work on x.com. So in some cases you have no choice. Unless you want to change your SSL. Also if sessions/cookies understood that there are no differences between www.x.com and x.com then this routing issue would not even be important. Also a counter to your argument. If we are always specifying a subdomain then shouldn't we always specify www. ? The format is always sub.domain.com, but now you are saying JUST for the main domain we should change that.

Re: How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
In my opinion you should be doing just the opposite.
WWW was used when computers needed the sub.domain to be aware of what
type of content they were about to receive.
Since web-pages today are becoming RIA and browsers are so robust the
need is deprecated, and I and may others argue that www should be
deprecated to.
Users that visit any of my domains using the www prefix will be
rerouted to the top domain, without the prefix. Google allows
webmasters to specify this as well so it will only crawl and show my
pages as top-domain.org.
An interesting site that takes my side;
http://no-www.org/

I need to accomplish something similar, I don't need to worry about
SSL, but I do have 3 domains, so far I have:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain1.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain2.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.maindomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
RewriteRule^$ app/webroot/[L]
RewriteRule(.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
but this isn't doing anything, except the normal cake rewrite, any ideas?
Cheers,
Jon

Re: How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
I think it would be nice to optimize this for any domain, with any
folder, or possibly any subdomain, or any combo of all of that...
Anyone have ideas?

How can I force www. to always be in my domain name?
For example if my website were awesome.com. When the user gets there it should automatically forward them to http://www.awesome.com. Also this should happen always (unless SSL is involved then the there should be an s after http (I already have that working)). I suppose I could create a component and then add it to every controller that does this; however, that seems like a bad approach (if i am doing it everywhere then it should only be stated once in one spot).
