Thanks Dieter! That indeed did the trick. It took a lot of digging
around online (and several times undoing the last edit because it made
the folder I was working in uneditable with the management interface)
but in the end I was successful.
For posterity:
A Virtual Host Monster mapping sends any request with the "games"
subdomain to a special folder with the following access rule:
#####
request = context.REQUEST
#determine title (last part of URL)
url = request.other['ACTUAL_URL']
if len(url) > 0:
if url[-1] == '/':
url = url[:-1]
splitpath = url.split('/')
target = splitpath.pop()
#add title as form data to request object
request.form['gametitle'] = target
#rewrite path - display_game is a Python script in the root of
#Zope, so by adding its name to the namestack it will be found.
#Not added if I'm editing the script (hack) so I'm not locked out.
namestack = request.other['TraversalRequestNameStack']
if namestack[0][:6] != 'ZPytho' and namestack[0][:6] != 'manage':
request.other['TraversalRequestNameStack'] = ['display_game']
#####
So far it works well. I can visit
games.mydomain.com/Tetris
and
www.mydomain.com/display_game?gametitle=Tetris
interchangably.
