i believe you're asking about the ability to easy copy the original site to create new sites?

it's definitely possible. that's i rolled out my network of sites. i created a single site, set it up pretty much how i wanted it, and then duplicated the *unshared* sql tables with a new prefix, copied the files (edited mainfile.php with the new prefix, site url, site path), and deleted the xoops-generated files that were in templates_c and cache.


i'd like to streamline the process, since that method is still alot of work, but it's better than doing up a site from scratch.

site configs are separate, so you can setup a diff theme for each site. i'm looking to modify the config table tho, so that *every* table can be shared (which is what i need), but with a few settings unique per site (i need to share everything so that the config table can be shared across all sites, but modify it in a way that i can still specify a different sitename, theme, etc, for each site)

i dunno how much it would have saved you, it's still a painful process

tho still simpler than managing 7 totally separate sites, hehe.

i need to get the admin system setup so that it will update all 7 sites when 1 is updated (my situation), cus it gets repetitive having to go into each site for the same action.

you can set permissions individually for each site, *or* share same permissions across all sites.

i have the same permissions shared, since all of my sites are more along the lines of portals to the same content (with a few small exceptions per site)

it's actually in use on a group of sites that i run, one of which ishttp://www.csmapcentral.com

the modification is actually available in xoops' sourceforge patch repository, but i've made quite a few changes since then, and i have a few more changes to make before i release the latest modifications

when i originally created the modification, i was working on a development site, not a live site. since launching 7 sites using this mod, i've found things that could be done differently or better, which is what i'm working on changing.

i'm multitasking between different projects at the moment, so i'm looking to get to the next item on my multisite list, sometime in the next 2 weeks, so depending on how things work out, another 2 weeks to 1 month.


if i can get some of my other development projects out of the way, that projected date will move much closer. it all just depends on what i get done elsewhere.

dgill, the best way to find out, is to try it. on your XOOPS site, you need to edit Admin->Preferences->User Settings, set the username option to whatever suits you. (3 levels, each dictates how complicated a name can be)

also, if you have a halflife/counterstrike/dayofdefeat based clan, check out xHLStats over at dev.xoops.org, and FatalQuery

after a certain number of users have been reached, XOOPS changes the user listing method. i'm not a big fan of it either, since you can't do mass moves to/from groups, but once you hit a certain number of users, it's pretty near impossible to easily use the scroll list anyways.


sorry bud, XOOPS functions and whatnot

my best recommendation is to act like you're taking the site back up from scratch

but that's just me

a Theme (which changes the visual appearance of your whole site) must be decompressed and uploaded to the xoops_root/themes directory, and then selected via Admin->Preferences->Main Settings menu.

Templates can be managed via Admin->Templates, that is where you can upload template packs, which are redesigned html pieces of your website.

does that help any? you might want to check the FAQ, you might find something useful there.
