I run three or for different set ups where the sites share common code, but the look and feel is different to some extent.
each of the two examples below run about 12 differnet sites, with varying degrees of shared content - i wont post all the ULR's or it will look like i'm link spamming, but a couple of instances are http://savewatersavemoney.co.uk http://st.savewatersavemoney.co.uk http://awdirect.savewatersavemoney.co.uk (these all share a common domain, and have different branding based on the subdomain, as you will see, the first two are very similar - the last is very different. a seperare set up is. http://www.northwestitjobs.co.uk http://www.southeastitjobs.co.uk these are very similar - but have different domain names, i have a couple of other requirements, in that its possible to add new domains on the fly, so i store my site data in a db table - you dont have to, its just easier for the way i need to do things. the example below is for symfony 1.0, and im doing this from memory, so i dont have al the details to hand, but its enough to get started - i can provide more details tomorow if you wanrt though. so a table, called site. id, site_name url_map. branding_folder site_title etc etc each of my actions has a preExecute method like so. (though if i was re writing i'd probably use a filter i guess) public function preExecute() { siteBranding::getSiteBrandingDetails($this); } the method matches the current request url to the url_map column, if it finds a match it changes the template to be a customised one. $site = SitePeer::retrieveByURL($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); // basically just does a simple SitePeer::doSelectOne() if($site){ $action->site=$site; // $action is the $this we passed in above, sfContext::getInstance()->getResponse()->setTitle($action->site- >getSiteName()); sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->setAttribute("current_site", $site); // i store this in the session so that i dont have to do the look up every time - if the value is set, it just returns the existing site. $action->setLayout(sfConfig::get('sf_web_dir').$site- >getBrandingFolder()."/layout" ); }else{ $action->setLayout( sfConfig::get('sf_web_dir'). "/branding/sites/generic/layout"); } sorry thats all a bit messy, but as i say - shout if you want to see the proper code (or feel free to post about why my method of doing it sucks - always happy to see other view points ;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
