Hello All.
My apologies if this belongs in "support" rather than "development".
I am managing a multi-site drupal installation and would like to be able to
offer groups of modules to a sub set of our sites without having to have them
installed in each sites/sitename/modules folder.
Basically, there are some advanced and developer modules that my more adept
users need but that I would rather not be available to some of our novice site
managers.
Ideally, I would be able to define something in the settings.php that told
drupal to look in:
sites/all/modules
sites/all/modules_advanced
sites/sitename/modules
The only possible solution that I've found would be to create a custom module
that defined it's own "module_rebuild_cache" (maybe
"extra_module_rebuild_cache" or such) that used a slightly modified
"drupal_system_listing" that would be able to look outside of
"sites/all/modules" and "sites/sitename/modules"
Does this make sense? Has anyone else come across a similar issue?
Thank you kindly,
