Hello everyone,

I'm currently helping to build a website in Drupal that will utilise a multi-site setup. We have a general template that all sites will follow, however we have an area within that template that we allow various departments to put their own content and let that content area have it's own unique design. So as an example, the header and the footer will be the same across all sites but only the content area will be unique in it's design.

Is it possible to have that general template design be used across all sites (eg. in the sites/all/themes/themename folder) and allow the user to create their unique design for the content area without having to duplicate the common template files in each site folder? We would want this so that should we decide to make a modification to the general template we wouldn't need to make the same changes in each site folder.

You might create a central css file along with the graphical objects and include those in the specific sites page.tpl.php files.

I am afraid you cannot combine themes, so may the above described solution might help.

Hmm...That would still require me to have the header and footer code repeated in the page.tpl.php files for each site though right?
