is it possible on mutli-site to share one theme but using different style id's

At first glance, I don't see how this can be done since the page/node.tpl is part of each theme, the idea behind this is to use same theme but have different backgrounds for each site.
You could add some logic in
You could add some logic in your page.tpl.php file that adds a class to the body, based on some unique value such as $site_name or $base_url. For example:
<?php$site_class = strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', $site_name));
?>
and then:
<body class="<?php print $site_class; ?>">I'm not sure I follow you,
I'm not sure I follow you, like this ?
<?php$site_class = strtolower(str_replace(' domain1.com', 'bodyclass1', $base_url));
?>
<?php
$site_class = strtolower(str_replace(' domain2com', 'bodyclass2', $base_url));
?>
<body class="<?php print $site_class; ?>">
Well, ignore the $base_url
Well, ignore the $base_url example since that's more work to strip out the "http://" and forward slashes. Just focus on using $site_name for now.
For example, if you have one site named "My First Site" and another named "My Second Site", then using the code I provided above, the body tag pages on those site would include a class of "my-first-site" and "my-second-site", respectively.
Then you can address use those classes to modify elements in your css:
body.my-first-site .block {color:#000;
background-color:#fff;
}
body.my-second-site .block {
color:#fff;
background-color:#000;
}
Not working,
Not working,
I have it setup like this in page.tpl.php but the classes are not getting pulled.
is the site name in the code and class case and space sensitive ?
Update: I got it working a little, but when I put 2 sites into the code, it only outputs one site for css, the above code can have 2 sites correct ? Or does it have to do with the other site having spaces inbetween.
Next Update It seems to be working using multiple instances for each site
For some reason it only works by having the first item empty ' '
the site name appears to be case sensitive no spaces. Is there a way to enter the site name as is like 'site name', body.site name, I got the one to work only by adding dashes the-site-name,
Another Update ok, I think I understand how your code above is suppose to work, just leaving the code as is with '-' is enough to pull in the class, the only thing is, it won't work when the site name is more than 1 word, ie 'site name' won't work but 'site' will. anyway around this ? It seems kind of strange that it won't work with more than one word, I suppose I could try to use dashes for the site name but that won't look very good on the site.
why not base_url?
I believe that base_url wasn't that bad. URLs cannot have spaces or non-standard characters, so this could be the better choice to work around your problem. If you want to keep it simple, just replace any www. in front or any suffix: explode the baseurl at the '.' (dot), discard the last element and grab the previous one: eg. www.region.mysite.com you get 'mysite'
How would the code look if
How would the code look if using base_url ? The above code creates the body classes but with base_url how would that work ?
I managed to get the
I managed to get the $site_name to work by putting " " around site name in admin, this creates a useable css that outputs my-site-name. The downside it shows the meta page title as "My Site Name", something I'll have to live with until I can figure out another solution.
