About ContextRouter

For new sites, use XRouting instead. That has the same features, and then some.

ContextRouter is a simple plug-and-play plugin allowing you to use different contexts, and, based on the http_host context settings you need to set anyway, it routes your front-end requests as required.

In essence it's like the Gateway plugin from the docs, except you don't have to manually edit the plugin: it takes the settings you have already configured in your context and routes based on that. 

ContextRouter looks at your contexts' http_host as well as a comma separated http_host_aliases setting for routing based on a full domain or subdomain.

See the Documentation for more Information.

Instructions

Install the plugin and make sure your contexts have a http_host variable set. If it doesn't seem to route properly, try clearing the cache to update the context - http_host caching.
