Segment

From Wikanual

Jump to: navigation, search

Each client has his own segment in INTERDUBS. All data and settings are controlled independently from each other.

The segment company would have a url like:


 http://www.interdubs.com/r/company 

for clients to login and

 http://www.interdubs.com/r/company/admin


for admin control. The actual name that gets displayed for a segment can be controlled via the config system.


Renaming a segment

If your company changes its name then INTERDUBS can change your segment name for you. Let's assume that 'company' wold rename itself to 'newbrand'. INTERDUBS will rename the links above to

 http://www.interdubs.com/r/newbrand

It is advisable that you keep your old segment name active as an alias (see below). This will ensure that all links you sent out are still valid.


Alias for a segment

INTERDUBS can set up an alias for your segment. If you like to use the segment name 'company' but actually would like to use 'newbrand' then this can be set up. Please get in touch. We can quickly provide aliases for you.

Using alternative cnames

With looks you can run different branding out of one INTERDUBS segment. If you set up an alias you can instruct INTERDUBS to use this in links and communications send. Let's assume that 'newbrand' (the segment name) still wants to use 'company' in some mails and postings. In order to create links like

 http://www.interdubs.com/r/company/.....

you can set the configuration variable

 alternate cname in link - needs alias set up to function

to

 company

Then links will be created for this alias. Please note that you don't include the '/r/' part of the path. Setting the 'alternate cname' alone will not work. You will have to ask INTERDUBS to set up an alias with the same name for you.
