I have worked with farcry before, however that was many years ago, i thought of it as a very powerful CMS back then.
My question is, what would be the best approach in terms of using farcry to manage hundreds of small websites. The basic requirements are as follows : Have an automated script to configure/setup/build out 400+ websites. These websites share many things in common, for example the look and feel is very similar, however variation in the css i.e. logo's colours would differ from site to site. The navigation will be the same structure and so will the templates for rendering the displays. Each site would have it's own login to administer its own navigation and content. I have thought through two solutions to a point so far, it would be great if someone can offer some advice who has come across a similar scenario. Build a new Project for each website, with it's own directory. The issue i have with this is that the sites are so similar, having a separate project/directory seems like a nightmare to manage. The second solution is to have one farcry project. each child node of the root would be considered a separate website. i.e. +root +website1 +website2 + ... sub-domain will map to website1.farcry.com will map to root\website1, that will become the root node for that micro-website. Create a role and user to manage each website that only has permission to it's content. i.e. user:website2admin can only modify the navigation and content from + root \ website1. The obvious issue i see here is, I'm kind of fudging farcry to fit my requirement. For example other areas of the admin example news content, calendar content will be accessible by all the websites. Is that clear as mud? Your advice would be very helpful. Theo -- You received this message cos you are subscribed to "farcry-dev" Google group.
