JamesChevalier / pow.rake

Created June 8, 2012 20:37

Rake task to switch sites that Pow serves

	# This is for instances where a single Rails app serves multiple domains.
	# That is, http://domainA.com and http://domainB.com are both served by the same Rails app.
	# When launching these manually, I specify which site I want to see by passing a site variable:
	# site=domainB ruby script/server
	# This gist allows site switching via a rake task:
	# rake pow[SITENAME]
	# If no '[SITENAME]' is provided, then it defaults to the 'domainA' site

	desc "Switches site that Pow serves"
	task :pow, :site_name do \|t, args\|
