Multisite vs Feature and spaces

By rosh7674 on 16 Dec 2011 at 17:10 UTC

I am trying to rebuild my website(veggiethings.com) where some of my users be allowed to create a seprate site/pages which will consist the following item.

Restaurant pages
1. Info Page about their restaurant
2. Menu
3. Today's Special
4. Coupons
5. Location (Shared by the whole Drupal website)

Grocery Store pages
1. Info Page about their restaurant
2. Weekly Special
4. Coupons
5. Location (Shared by the whole Drupal website)

Community Pages
1. Info page about the group
2. Events (Shared by the whole Drupal website)
3. Location Shared by whole Drupal webiste.

I am not sure which option would be best for me. Building a website with the following modules (OG, Events, Calendar, Feature, Views & Spaces and seperate theme for each category/business) or build site using multisite (I tried this but was unable to create pages or install new modules in mulitisite)

Please help and point me in the right direction.

Thanks

multisite is for managing multiple drupal installs with one code base. Unless you are planning for these to be 3 separate sites, I'm not sure how that helps.

Features is for packaging up site functionality to migrate to different sites or make available as a module, again, I'm not sure how that helps here.

You should be able to use og to create the 'sites' (where group = site). You might consider the openatrium distro which includes alot of this functionality already.

Thank for your help. So I

Thank for your help. So I installed domain access on my website. It does let me create new domains which is great. But I am finding it very hard to create separate menus for each new domain that I build. Features module, is great if I was to create separate Database for each site. So I am stuck again.
