It's a rather unusual request, but is it possible to extract a subdomain to a variable?
e.g.
(1) sub1.mydomain.com
(2) sub2.mydomain.com
When I click on (1) I want to save "sub1" and vice versa. I use plone (python and tal). Thx for your input.
Just use a Python expression to split at the first dot:
tal:define="subdomain python:domain.partition('.')[0]"
or, if using Python 2.4 or earlier:
tal:define="subdomain python:domain.split('.', 1)[0]"
This uses str.partition()
or str.split()
to return a list of strings; the local name is the first part; [0]
selects the first element of that list.
Demo using a Python prompt:
>>> 'sub1.mydomain.com'.partition('.')[0]
'sub1'
>>> 'sub1.mydomain.com'.split('.', 1)[0]
'sub1'
