Re: [development] Accommodating a second base_url

So, I'm thinking I should just hook_init, and based on the http request, alter $base_url if needed, and do a variable_set that I later retrieve in the theme to alter (or not) the background-image used as the top banner. Is this the best approach?

Whatever you do, if you think you need to alter $base_url, then you are most likely approaching your task at hand wrongly. Drupal usually sets up $base_url correctly and you should not alter that value. If you need conditional settings per site, then you should look into Drupal's multi-site support. sun
