Several sites, one template?

Is it possible to have several sites with just one shared template? I will have a few sites that will need the same template. The sites also will have on some pages shared content , on other pages the content will be different (and will be maintained by different users).

I would like to have just the template to be located on a server in one location so that when I change this template, all the sites will adapt to this. Furthermore, I would like the shared content not to be editable (or visible) to the maintainers of the individual sites.

Is this possible with CMSMS? (In case not: could minor code changes lead to such a setup? Any hints are appreciated in this repsect).

Thanks,

  Ryde

Hi ryde,

If you never touch the template, btu only the stylesheets you could link to a fixed URL for the stylesheets in the template. For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/stylesheet.php?templateid=4 where you change 4 to whatever the id of that template is.

The tempaltes could be made universal so that you do all the styling in the CSS only.

I don't think there's a way, though, to actually use the same page template across sites without hacking the code.
