Hey all,
I'm about to create a multilangual, multi-Drupal system from scratch with as modular overall structure as possible. I'm creating the first site now, which means me having to find out these modular guidelines for the still-to-be-done-ones, too. I got an idea of having one "Common Drupal". This installation would not be directly accessible to anonymous users, but it would contain things like Contact us -forms etc for all the other sites to use. The aim would be to have to edit these kinds of common pages in only one place to get them updated everywhere.
The content of normal static pages was a piece of cake to get from the other database, but what about webforms and other more sophisticated stuff? I came up with two possible solutions:
1. Having the Common Drupal save the information to other db's when updating it.
2. Having this information only in the Common Drupal's db, and the other Drupals would get it from there each time the page is requested.
The first option doesn't feel good at all, and I couldn't find a solution for accomplishing the second one. Help greatly appreciated!

Anyone? I really wouldn't
Anyone? I really wouldn't want to give up on modularity in this case. :(
You want a multi-site
You want a multi-site installation - search the handbook for documentation on that.
If you want a lot of shared content (and other stuff) between the sites, then the domain access module might work for you.
