Url rewrites

[Kartones]

Implement the option of not relying on usernames being always present at subdomains xxxxx.mydomain.ext/blablabla. They would appear always at mydomain.ext/u/xxxxx/blablabla.

This must be config-controlled, by default not active and totally optional, but code like Cartodb.extract_subdomain calls need to be rewritten to support it.

Multiuser URLs code will probably benefit from some cleaning due to this changes.

Code also allows to setup a different base port for urls generated (http_port config entry, can be left empty).

Notes:

• As discussed, organizations don't work if the subdomains_allowed flag is set to false.
• Changing code inside Cartodb.extract_subdomain and Cartodb.base_url fixed many scenarios and in general makes everything work (and Warden needs no changes), but there might be some issues if somewhere a url is handcrafted instead of using those.
• Full review of routes.rb has been done, but /superadmin calls haven't been tested.
• Definetly the editor needs clientside changes for some urls built there. See the internal wiki page for more details of issues found.
• How to activate domain-less: at app_config.yml, set:

  session_domain:     'localhost.lan'
  subdomains_allowed: false

Note that session domain looks the same but doesn't begins with a '.'

As discussed, organizations don't work if the subdomains_allowed flag is set to false.

that means a organization user will not work or organization urls will not work (but the user still does) ?

I was eagerly awaiting the merge of issue-1693 into master; but I am not entirely sure if this issue has been fixed.

I just tried once more to deploy cartodb in an ubuntu 14.04 VM running on my workstation. This process is shown here https://gist.github.com/freakabcd/fd73119869ba57e16751

• Accessing http://mymaps.lan:3000 from the VirtualBox host immediately redirects to http://mymaps.lan:3000/user//maps and shows the 404 page which links back to mymaps.lan:3000 via the 'Back to the Homepage' button.
• Accessing http://mymaps.lan:3000/user/subdomain shows the user page which says there are 0 datasets and 0 visualisations. Every link on this page except for the "userpage / 0 datasets / 0 visualisations" points to cartodb.com, so one cannot even log in :-(

Perhaps, I have simply misconfigured everything! Please add more information to the subdomainless wiki page or perhaps a new wiki page on how to setup cartodb in a VM on local_machine / cloud.

Hi @freakabcd

Have you setup the subdomainless_url config attribute to "true", http_port to 3000 and session_domain to mymaps.lan?

It might be just that, a misconfiguration issue. Check also the small documentation wiki page and let me know if the issues persist.

As you can see from the setup gist, I am setting subdomainless_urls to true and session_domain to "mymaps.lan". I was not setting http_port to 3000 and noticed you added a commit to default it to 3000. I still have the exact same 2 issues outlined before

Here is my app_config.yml I've changed all instances of localhost.lan to mymaps.lan as an additional measure.
My database.yml is identical to the sample in the repo. The config/environments/development.js files in Windshaft-cartodb and CartoDB-SQL-API are simply copies of the provided config/environments/development.js.example files

The green links are local. The red ones are all pointing back to cartodb.com, so I cannot login and add tables/visualisations. I'm not 100% convinced that this is a configuration-only issue.

@freakabcd yes, that's a know issue. We accept pull requests :)
