It is important and essential to handle cookies for multi-site use of xoops.

My question is:
1 Is it possible to set a cookie for a domain from outside of the domain?
2 If yes, how?
3 If no, will the multi-site use of XOOPS be complete?

1. Not exactly. Some ad banners do this by embedding code in the page that's run on the domain for which the cookie will be created. Those are called "third-party" cookies, and both IE and Mozilla have a specific option for blocking that kind of cookie. And popup blockers might not even allow the code to execute. So even if you implemented this, a lot of users wouldn't get the cookie.

sad ...

There is an approach introduced by Wayne Berry: Sharing Cookies Across Domains.
However, it is not so practical.
