Magento – Magento 2: Get all Base URLs for a Specific System

base-urlmagento2PHPscopeurl

Magento 2 has a Magento\Framework\UrlInterface interface/type that's mapped to the Magento\Framework\Url object. This object has a getBaseUrl method which you can use to fetch the base URL for the current scope.

$url = $this->url->getBaseUrl();

Is it possible to use this method (or another method?) to fetch the base URLs for every site/store in a Magento system? i.e Magento systems often have different base URLs depending on how the website, store, and store views are setup and how options like "use store code in URL" are configured. I'd like a way to fetch every URL in a particular Magento system.

The larger, underlying question here is how does the "scope" object interact with the URL building in Magento 2. Answers along those lines are more than welcome.

Not too sure if you could use this interface.

As its scope related I will probably check the getBaseUrl from Magento/Framework/Url/ScopeInterface if I was you.

On top of that Magento tend to do the following to get the base URL of a store:

$this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl();

where _storeManager is Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface

So in theory (haven't tried it) what I would do is use this StoreManagerInterface to get all the stores via the getStores() method then use the code I pasted above to get the base URL for each store.

Magento Multi-Store Setup – Base URLs at Global Scope

What you mentioned already, is correct. The Global scope is the same as the Admin scope. They are not quite the same, but because all other scopes (Store View, Store, Website) are managed from within the Magento Admin Panel, the Magento Admin Panel needs to have the scope Global to work. This also means that the Base URL of your Global Scope needs to point to the Magento admin URL. However, Magento has also introduced the option "Custom Admin URL" as you mentioned - and this complicates things a little bit. As I understand it, the "Custom Admin URL" should be used if the Magento backend should be only accessed through a private URL (for instance, an internal URL for people behind a corporate firewall) - so this would then become privateseparatenode.com. However, the Magento global scope might still need contacting from the outside world. For instance, if PayPal does an IPN callback, it contacts Magento and this might be on the global scope (don't know if this is actually true or not), and for that reason you would need a public URL like publicseparatenode.com. So in short, the Custom Admin URL is normally only needed if the Admin needs to be accessed through a private method, while the global scope (Base URL in Global Scope) should be publicly accessible.

In short: Your setup seems completely correct in that the Global Scope is using the domain separatenode.com (assuming it is publicly accessible). However, I've seen third party modules in the past that did not respect the scoping at all, and simply loaded stuff from the global scope because that seemed easier. So your issue might be with a third party module (?).

The fact that your Magento backend is on a different node is not important. With Magento, it is suggested that you have one "virtual" application instance pointing to one "virtual" database, even though there could be multiple application instances on different nodes pointing to the same database, or multiple database instances because of clustering or alike. Think of it this way: There is one Magento configuration tree, which has values across multiple scopes. That same configuration tree is accessed from your Magento backend node.

How to Get Base URL of Default Website in Magento 1.9

You can get the default website id like this:

$websites = Mage::getModel('core/website')->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter('is_default', 1);

$website = $websites->getFirstItem();
$websiteId = $website->getId();
$websiteCode = $website->getCode();

and you can get the base url like this:

$url = Mage::getConfig()->getNode('web/unsecure/base_url', 'website', $websiteCode);
