Map static content url to some folder
Currently:
{
"match": {
"uri": "/django/static/*"
},
"action": {
"share": "/home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/portfolio-project/media/"
}
},
For https://domain.comdjango/static/images/weide.jpg would look for files in that folder + uri, in this case /home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/portfolio-project/media/django/static/images/weide.jpg instead of just /home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/portfolio-project/media/images/weide.jpg
May we have something like:
"match": {
"uri": "/django/static/*"
},
"action": {
"share": "/home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/portfolio-project/media/",
"map": true
}
},
Which would solve the problem and map /django/static/ to that folder? Alternatively, I guess something similar to nginx alias directive may do the trick, but I'm not sure when/if it's planned?
@smtalk We're on the feature of supporting variables in the "share" option. such as:
{
"share": "/data/www$uri"
}
It will use the value from "share" as the file path.
@hongzhidao but wouldn't it just try to append $uri to that path? The problem is that we'd like to serve domain.com/images from /path/to/project_images for example, and now it'd try to look in /path/to/project_images/images instead of just /path/to/project_images due to $uri always appended to the static path by default.
$uri always appended to the static path by default.
yes, the current version works the way.
as I mentioned, in the future the rule will be changed. the path to find becomes the value from the "share" option. is that the way you want it?
@hongzhidao yes, I think I just misunderstood your first message :) Value from share is what we're looking for. Thanks!
@smtalk we also plan to support regex named capture variables, it seems that's what you want.
{
"match": {
"uri": "/django(?<alias_uri>/static/*)"
},
"action": {
"share": "/home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/portfolio-project/media$alias_uri"
}
},
