This extension allows to configure a base variant in TYPO3s Site Configuration depending

on the current Host.

## When is it useful?
7+
8+
This extension can be useful when dealing with multiple sites in one TYPO3 instance
9+
with different domains:
10+
11+
Let's say you have a primary domain `primary-domain.tld` with a site configuration.
12+
Backend editors log in to this primary domain.
13+
14+
You have a site config with an own page tree for a second domain `another-domain.tld`.
15+
Editors create content for the second domain on a hidden page. When previewing that
16+
page from within the backend, `another-domain.tld/some-page-slug` will be shown. Since
17+
editors are logged in to the primary domain, the backend user cookie will not be sent by
18+
the browser for the secondary domain, the frontend does not see a logged in backend
19+
user and will show a 404.
20+
21+
The extension now allows configuring a site base variant for the secondary domain that
22+
kicks in when backend preview is called from the main domain, and calls the frontend
23+
of the secondary site as a sub path of the main domain instead.
