Does anyone that has the Multisite 'hack' working;
specifically seperate sites with seperate content sharing user tables, willing to post some instructions for those of us that are not very familiar with PHP?

I've tried all of the suggestions and only get errors and blank pages, and think that I am incorrectly editing the database.php file.

help! please....

Thanks!

That's what we mean by "cloning" modules: changing names and module's prefix tables in order to install a module several times.

Take a look at this site for a demo. I don't know if the webmaster made a tutorial to explain how he did this (shame on me )

Happy Xoopsing

Even better,

develop the ability to set a different theme to a particular module. So you could change info on the fly and may be it is not needed to make many copies of the same site.

Ok.... Here's how you do it.

Say you have /home/mywebsite/public_html/
Upload your XOOPS installation there and install it, etc.
Make a copy of your mainfile.php and rename it to ABC.mainfile.php
Edit mainfile.php to have the modified code.
Point www.ABC.com to /home/mywebsite/public_html/

Basically when you goto www.ABC.com it will first goto read mainfile.php but mainfile.php has code in it to grab the domain name ABC and then direct it to ABC.mainfile.php

Next make a copy of the database and the ABC.mainfile.php but call it DEF.mainfile.php
Edit DEF.mainfile.php with the new database information.
Point www.DEF.com to /home/mywebsite/public_html/

Now when you goto www.DEF.com it will grab the information from DEF.mainfile.php

For every other site you want running of the same install just make a new copy of the database and a new mainfile.php to match it.

i understand on the part of share database, as i have create for mutiple phpnuke site share same user database before...and i think XOOPS have a better, advance and easy solution on sharing database compare to phpnuke.

The only part confuse me....is the part on sharing of FILE which only "ABC" site have it and the "DEF" site have nothing but using the FILE(not database)of "ABC"?

If i surf to "DEF" , don't "DEF" need a index file??? it can't work for just having a mainfile.php in it....

Is it i have to do is to put the "index.php" and the modify "mainfile.php" in "DEF"???

Yeah all depends on what tables you share... Some can get confused on file locations or group permissions - but most things if done right will work with no problems.

I have about 10 sites running on XOOPS with independent databases and files and sharing just a few tables.

The way I did it was with a simple modification to the database.php file. Also the hack can be turned on/off editing a line at mainfile.php

I never had any problems caused by sharing tables.
