Hmmm.... I wonder if this approach could lead to a "change-site" drop-down in the admin? (which I think Farcry kinda needs, however keeping the user authenticated is the problem)

Dave,
I think you're on the right track. Typo3 does this already, and I think FarCry could probably do it without too many changes to the core. We would just have to consider the user repository and the rights that went along with it (So we could incorporarate Single-Sign-on). Hmm... Maybe it will be more difficult to modify than I thought. =\
If anyone thinks this is do-able give me some ideas and maybe I'll take a hack at it. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of the app.cfm keeping a list of all the sites. Then when the user logs in, the system will cross-reference each FarCry system with the user's rights and determine whether or not to include the site in the drop-down.

I have done this. By modifying the apps.cfm and setting up a IIS
Virtual Directory for each site admin.
I have had this running for a few months now on my development machine.
Everything appears to work 100%. No guarantees offered.
Method: 1. Set an extra IIS virtual directory pointing to the farcry_core/admin
directory for each app. I set them up as follows
"appname" points to appname/www
"appname_admin" points to farcry_core/admin
When you want to go to admin area http://localhost/appname_admin/ When you want to view site http://localhost/appname/
2. Mod the apps.cfm as follows.
<cfif Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/")) neq "farcry">
<cfcookie name="farcryCallPath" value="#Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/"))#">
</cfif>
<cfswitch expression="#cookie.farcryCallPath#">
<cfcase value="base_admin"> <cfscript> stApps = structNew(); stApps['localhost'] = 'base'; </cfscript>
<cfcase value="haresfoot_admin"> <cfscript> stApps = structNew(); stApps['localhost'] = 'haresfoot'; </cfscript> </cfcase>
<cfcase value="issuefm_admin"> <cfscript> stApps = structNew(); stApps['localhost'] = 'issuefm'; </cfscript> </cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase> <cfscript> stApps = structNew(); stApps['localhost'] = 'mxdesign'; </cfscript> </cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
I cant remember why i used cfcookie above, it took a lot of experimentation to get this to work and when i did i was so relieved that i just stopped thinking about it and started using it.
hth, Chris.

nope, I don't think so. Look at the application.cfm inside farcry_core/admin...
5: <cfinclude template="/farcry/apps.cfm"> 6: <cfinclude template="/farcry/#stApps[cgi.server_name]#/www/Application.cfm">
cgi.server_name will not have any path information in it.
Why can't you set up CNAME-records (aliases) for each site, e.g. website1.domain.com?
CGI variables are not reliable... basically, pick from the top 3 (everything else should be spoofable):

So you don't think there is a way to run multiple FarCry websites
under
one domain?
(e.g. app.cfm) <cfscript> stApps = structNew(); stApps['DOMAIN/website1'] = 'farcry_website1'; stApps['DOMAIN/website2'] = 'farcry_website2'; </cfscript>
The above code obviously wont work, however something similar to this
would be nice (or maybe just make it a multi-dimensional array. Or complex structures. I don't really care how it needs to be done =)
).
Before I can this project, does anyone have a work-around to get multiple FarCry websites to work on the same domain (but exist under
different sub-directories)?

ok...
1 copy of farcry_core on the server, period. 1 folder for each farcry "instance" (aka "site"). 1 database & datasource for each "instance"
For each new instance, re-run the installer. It will create the
site's
folder for you (you need to create the datasource before you do
this).
For development, you will have to modify apps.cfm to tell it which
site
you want to "admin". I don't think there is any production-grade
method
to run multiple farcry "instances" on the same domain. I could be
wrong.
In production, apps.cfm will determine which "instance" the user is trying to get to based on the url they are accessing it from. You
cannot
"admin" multiple sites at the same time.
Basically I am saying you will need a different domain for each
site,
unless you are the only admin and have no problem modifing apps.cfm
each
time you want to "admin" a different site.

I know I've seen this talked about somehwere in the list, but I am having a difficulty finding it.
What I am looking to do...
Two websites (and more later) under one domain name (each site under
its own subdirectory):
1. http://DOMAIN/website1 2. http://DOMAIN/website2
We are using IIS5 (Win2k) and FarCry 2.11 (This is a development server).
A. Can I leave all the Core folders in the root folder and then have
multiple <farcry_project> folders? Or do I have to have seperate installations of FarCry for each website (I'd prefer to just have
one
installation)?
B. If I 'can' have one installation of FarCry core folder do I just
need to make changes in the app.cfm (if so, what is a good example)?
C. If I can have one installation of FarCry, how can I manage all my
websites from a single login (Or is there a different way to manage
the
websites)?
