How about just sharing a datasource? You could have the main tables that are shared across the sites then you could have individual news tables or whatever else needs to be specific to certain sites. One update to the main shared tables would reflect across all the sites and individual table updates would only show on the sites that query those tables.
Tbl_main_bulk_info Tbl_US_News Tbl_UK_News Tbl_US_Events Tbl_UK_Events Etc... Depending on your table naming conventions, you could even make it that much easier by setting a variable on the individual sites like... <cfset countrycode = "US"> Then when you query say the news for the site you query "tbl_#countrycode#_news" The code would be the same on all sites Just some thoughts -----Original Message----- From: Butch Zaccheo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 12:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Deployment of Multiple Websites with almost identical Info Hi Everyone, My company has asked me to deploy multiple websites for multiple countries each with it¹s own domain. Each country will have info slightly modified to reflect their own information (events, news, special promos), but the bulk of the information will be the same. Here¹s my question: 1. What are other web developers doing in this circumstance? 2. Is there cf content management software that would allow me to use multiple domains and maintain only one whole site, sharing pages that would be the same for every site? 3. Or should I deploy a site for each domain and update each manually even though most of the info is the same? Hopefully this isn¹t to broad a question for this list. I¹m very interested to find out if others in the CF community already have working solutions. Any help would be much appreciated.
