Multi-site solution

I was using postnuke for years and its the thing I miss most about the cms. They have lots of other cool features but the multi-site capabilities were second to none.

We worked off a single core install and a parameters file with a directory for each site that was to work independently of the other. in that directory was an original config.php file that was used when a user came in on a particular domain. Based on the domain a user came in on depended on what config file the cms used. Tables could be shared so that user system could be shared amongst several sites of choice.

Modules and blocks all worked independant of each other and were not the same on other sites unless those settings were also shared.

The only difference from the normal installation and a multi-site enviroment was a multi-site config.php version was used in place of the normal config.php so that it redirected to the right config.php for the domain a user came in on.

All domains are parked or pointed to the core directory of the cms instalation so that the multi-site version config.php did its directing.

It may sound confusing but it was quite simple once you got the hang of it. There isn't alot talked about for the multi-site capabilities in postnuke but it is the best and most time saving feature out there.

Another great feature was implementation of short urls was really easy in postnuke.

I wish phpnuke or someone would come up with a multisite version or fork that supported multisite functionality I think it would be greatly appreciated amongst the phpnuke community.

ENGLISH:

Hello,

I am finishing a version of the phpnuke with the multiple option, I hope soon to be able to liberate it, at the moment I have it in phase of tests.

they can see it working in:

http://nukewsd.wsdsystem.com/index-principal.html

http://nukewsd.wsdsystem.com/index-wuesdart.html

to the equal if they want to prove this code, they would be of a lot of help.

I see that each page loads a different php nuke with a different theme and different content.

I have a few questions....

do you have one place that you uploaded the core cms files?

Does both sites use the same core files?

Can you share module info across multiple sites by using the same table prefix of the database and tables that you want to share?

I cant read spanish and I dont know where to find more about this project you are working on.

I would like to know more.

Thanks,

I'd love to see the feature when it is available- i almost got to the point of creating it myself.

I suggest that you make it as a directory not a file this way in theory you can link a domain to it...
