[Zope-dev] Re: SiteRoot and VHM

[Laurence Rowe]

-1 for removing it. I think it's a cool feature :-)

I like the ability to use a 'blank' SiteRoot (one with a blank base and 
path) in conjunction with an access rule to set request variables when I 
access my site in through a particular point (eg set the plone_skin 
variable when I access my site through /admin or force a particular 
language when I access my site through /language-name). This is in 
addition to using VHM and apache rewrite rules in the standard way.

I guess this could be done with more complicated rewrite rules but then 
I become dependent on accessing the site trough apache and lose some 
flexibility.
