Subsites compatibility

[flashbackzoo]

Hey,

I've run into an issue using populate with subsites.

Each subsite is able to have pages with the same URL segment, for example:

mainsite.com/home mysubsite.com/home

Populate handles URL segment collisions like the CMS does, by prefixing the page id, so you get home-2 on the subsite URL segment.

Here's a example populate.yml

Subsite:
  MySubsite:
    Title: 'My Subsite'
    Theme: 'mysubsite'

SubsiteDomain:
  MySubsiteDomain:
    Domain: 'mysubsite.com'
    Protocol: 'automatic'
    Subsite: =>Subsite.MySubsite

Page:
  Home:
    ParentID: 0
    ShowInMenus: false
    Title: 'Home'
    URLSegment: 'home'
  SubsiteHome:
    ParentID: 0
    ShowInMenus: false
    Title: 'Home'
    URLSegment: 'home'
   Subsite: =>Subsite.MySubsite

I'm currently working around this by creating an DataExtension on Populate and updating the records manually.

class PopulateExtension extends DataExtension
{
    public function onAfterPopulateRecords()
    {
        // Do stuff
    }
}

Is there a way I can populate pages across subsites without having to use the onAfterPopulateRecords hook?

Thanks

Not as far as I know, I don't think we've used this module with subsites, so it probably needs to be extended include that kind of functionality.

You could avoid that when you switch subsites while adding objects.

This could be done in a new hook, e.g. "onBeforePopulateRecord" and switch back in "onAfterPopulateRecord"

Then URLSegmentFilter only gets the pages from the current subsite and can create unique urls per subsite.
