CMSmadesimple work as multisite platform?

[nuno]

Hello, 
I like very much the CMSmadesimple, congratulations for eficient and intelligent project.

Exists the possibility of the CMSmadesimple work as a multisite platform, like the drupal?

  E.g.: 10 customers alone with an installation and each customer with its template and its modulos, will be possible?   

SORRY the bad English!

No, currently not - it's on roadmap for the past 2.0 version

[nuno]

ok thanks, it's an idea

Hello nuno,

BTW : I don't see the full page caching feature of 2.0 listed in the roadmap although it is already implemented. So I bet this roadmap about 2.0 has only the "not yet finished" features.

As Cyberman has said, there is no builtin multisite feature. But if you have a unix hands on hosting, you can bypass the current limitation :
-a site in CMSms is a config.php file and a set of prefixed database objects (shared db).
-a fake "virtualhost" installation could be a set of symlinks (instead of actual .php files) to the actual unique installation except the specific config.php file.
So symlink an installation except config.php and make a tar to reproduce this virtual folders. Then "install" (untar) as many times as you want.

And switching from "$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]" in index.php should be even better. I bet this is easy to implement (choosing the config.php file to include according to the HTTP request). Please, nice devteam...
Hope this helps

thanks Pierre,

I only work the 2 weeks in cmsms and in my opinion cms is optimum waits that it continues to grow


you give me please a practical example to me of these configurations?

He can be tested in localhost? Already I made this with drupal editing vhost in windows and the apache and worked well!

Hello Nuno,

I haven't any pratical example at hand.
Nothing prevents anybody to test building the tar on a localhost as long as this localhost has nice unix symlinks.

But I think the switch way is the easiest : I bet it should happen in fileloc.php to load vhost/domain123.net/config.php rather than config.php when $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] is domain123.net
I'm sure a hobbyist dev can implement this (as a hint or tips, before inclusion in 2.0). As I speak for the front end only, I may be too optimistic, it may be more difficult for the backend to work so easyly too.

[nuno]

but de backend!!!!!! IS A PROBLEM??

[Pierre M.]

I'm speculating it is easy. As far as I know, nobody has tried to code this multisite patch. So nobody can tell it is difficult, even for the back end

With current implementation it's very very difficult.
I work on it

Hello Alby & all !

OK, the switch idea is not new and I was too optimistic. But I think it is good news that some are thinking about possible implementations. Have fun working on this.

My poor english. I want say:
I WORKED on this nearly two years ago

My implementation was for linux only (it is not impossible but very very difficult soft link on Windows) and the number of files to modify are many for simple synch to new release (I use often SVN version  )
