How can i enable the three virtual sites. I already installed condition(s) module and virtual site module. I stucked up there. Please anyone tell me what should i do to make three websites available in three domains

Using single database, I'm

Using single database, I'm not quite clear on, after doing my own research into this, it appears the single database is nothing more than having multiple databases ( tables ) inside one database, so yes, you can do that by changing the prefix for each site.

I prefer using separate databases for each site, more organized that way.

From what I can tell about a single database, it's the same as having multiple databases only they are all inside one roof and separated only by a prefix ie site1_tables, site2_tables. It appears to function the same as if they were separate databases. I think there is more benefit to having them separate, unless sharing the tables may be easier by having them all in one location, need more confirmation on the differences between single and multiple.

Domains

donkasok - July 21, 2008 - 06:59

Here i need to set three different domains
eg:
www.abc.com
www.efg.com
www.xyz.com
some of the data will be sharing. I need to use separate domains ,not sub domains. is it possible with domain module.

DoN

Yes

agentrickard - July 26, 2008 - 21:50

Domain Access lets you 'register' any host as part of the domains for your site, so you can have abc.com and xyz.com on the same install.

But you would need the Single SignOn module in order to overcome the inability to share login cookies across different domains.

Thanks for your replay.

The problem :
I have three domains pointing same db. Now using domain access module i am able to restrict the contents in each site. I created three different menu types for each site. I assigned the menu blocks on header. But it not reflecting in anonymous users page and .

How can i create three different menu as a primary link or as a block that should shown in header.
How can i assign three websites with their respective menus. Please help me in this matter.

Quick solution

Kuldip Gohil - July 30, 2008 - 04:00

Hi Don,

Here is the quick solution that i can suggest you is ..

make instance of block (primary menu block) using http://drupal.org/project/multiblock

and set it into different domains by configuring particular block using "Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only)."

option and write php code that that gets your current domain name .. (i think domain module are using global variable for the current domain or you can use $_SERVER for that, or you can use arg() function ) and then set block according to domain name,

Thanks,
