UzK: Navigation links in ZMI with the configured subdomain instead absolute_url #23

[zmsdev]

New method ZMSObject.getAbsoluteUrlInContext(self, context, index_html=None) defaulting to absolute_url()
Usage of subdomain can be activated with the conf-property ZMSObject.getAbsoluteUrlInContext=True

hi @zmsdev,
i am not sure about the intention of the function; actually the name does not name it very precisely. The term "context" may be ambiguous . So, a brief explanation as a code comment would be really great:

1. what does the function do
2. when should it be used
3. how is it activated
4. are there any caveats?

LGTM

The new feature toggle allows us at UniBE to keep on track with the main code base - but leave the toggle off in our environment and continue to use absolute_url(), as we rely on a dedicated subdomain for all ZMI access with the needed read-write rights to ZODB.

Just the rendering of our sites is delivered via the configured subdomains per ZMS client with read-only rights to ZODB - so keeping the users in the configured subdomain-context in ZMI too is not intended in our case.
