You can do it now with a properly formed siteaccess rule. I think this
code works, but I don't know if Zope "sees" localhost or foo.bar :
change as necessary.
Get the hostname:
<dtml-let hostname="_.string.join(_.string.split(HTTP_HOST,
':')[-2:-1])">
<dtml-if "hostname='foo.bar'">
<dtml-if "1+(_.string.find(PATH_INFO, 'manage'))">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('SiteRootBASE','http://foo.bar:8080/')">
If we're managing /parrot, make sure to reset the SiteRootPATH
<dtml-if "1+(_.string.find(PATH_INFO, 'parrot'))">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('SiteRootPATH','/parrot/')">
</dtml-if>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-let>
At this point you need to leave SiteRootBASE & PATH blank in all folders
and set them programmatically with the Access Rule. You could probably
generalize this.
