(Solved) 10 domains ( site's) with one cms made simple system

[hadion]

Hi all,

This request is a bit advanced, this is the reason i post it in this forum.
I bought 10 domainnames lately.

I want to connect every domainname to an parent menu item, so i can load all submenu items from there parent.
But everything i try goes wrong. The content must also load an default homepage for each domainname.

Please help me out here, thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Hadion,

I'm slow understanding today. Please explain which domain has which menu, which submenus, which items (and content) and to which domain belongs the "parent menu item". Sampling/examples welcome.
A "default homepage for each domainname" : I have understood this one

Hi,

To make clear what I mean I will give an example.
I have 3 domains:
cars.com
motors.com
boats.com

The CMS have to recognise the domainname and fits it's template to that domain. So when request www.cars.com, cms made simple  has to recognise that the user requested the 'cars' domain. With that fact, it could load the submenu and content of cars.

In the backend of CMS made simple I want to make ( in this example ) 3 pages ( which all have an parent ID ). Those 3 pages named cars, motors and boats, all have their own submenu.

I tried to make active content like this:

Code: Select all

$url = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
if(eregi('cars',$url)) {
echo ('{menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}');
}

With this code it just places {menu template='cssmenu.tpl'} as text in the browser.

When it is possible to strip the requested URL and echo an {menu}, I could manage 3 domains in 1 adminpanel. ( and save much webspace and time, because I don't have to update all my changes 10 times instead of 1. )

Sorry for my bad english, but i hope u understand it a bit.

Thanks in advance,

Hadion

Well one solution would be to just create a parent page for each site, and have those pages only show it's children on the menu.  You could then just forward your domains to the appropriate parent pages.

Sorry, but that is not really the solution I was looking for.

I was thinking about a solution that calls a specific config.php. With that solution u could make 10 databases, but that solution is not suitable with the backend.

The best solution is to echo a menu for each domainname in the template. But I can't do that job... Maybe something with the events handler?

{menu items='boats, cars'}
{menu items='planes, ships'}

this u looking for?

Hello hadion,

I was thinking about a solution that calls a specific config.php.

If I understand well, you would like a single CMSms code install respond to several webserver virtualdomains and switch early in index.php (or whatever.php) to the appropriate config.php to answer (front end and back end) according to the requested domain. This way, adding a domain would only require some webserver setting, some db space (using a cms_domain_ prefix) and adding a config-domain.php.

This is very interesting. I like it but I'm not a PHP dev. But as you seem to read and write PHP code may be your are close to invent this nice patch ?

anybody knows how to send some text to the template before the template is loaded. In a piece of active content I want to give output like this

Code: Select all

{menu exapmle code}

, but when i load the website, the cms only shows text ( {menu exapmle code} ) instead of using the active content.

I tought it was something with the event handler. Anybody knows to which event handler item I have to add the active content to?

edit:
my active content:

Code: Select all

$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if(eregi('domein',$url)) {
  echo "{menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}";
}

Solved:

look in the Wiki for more information

Will post an userguide to make our whole cms compatible for unlimited domains with seperate RSS, News, Content, breadcrumbs etc.
great solution!  (lots of work to write the tutorial so i will add it later on
