Managing multiple sites through CMS Made Simple

[jramsdell]

Hi all,

I am working on two sites...one is a major corporation and the other is its subsidiary. I have created the subsidiary using CMS made simple and things are working great. The client has approached me about recreating the parent corporation using CMS made simple. However, much of the content is the same for both sites; therefore, much of the content can be mirrored between the two sites with the only difference being the look and feel. They wish to be able to manage both sites from the same CMS made simple control panel.

Has anyone attempted this or is there a module to handle this?

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,

-- J

Multi site installations are on roadmap for post 1.0 versions.

Thanks, unfortunately, this is something that will be happening within the next two weeks and I doubt anything will be released by then. Looks like I'm on my own with this one.

well, You can use some rewrite magick and create pages so that the hierarchy looks something like this

site1
* first page of site 1
* second page of site 1
site 2
* first page of site 2

and so on.. now if you use cmsms own htaccess rules you get page url like domain.tld/site1/first_page_of_site_1 you just need to install cmsms somewhere and have another htaccess rewrite rule to have everyhing going to domail.tld/site1 or site2/ accordingly. You might get into some trouble as this is not how cmsms is designed atm, but it just might work
