I would like to do the following set up a multisite drupal installation:

www.shirts4you.com
www.shirts4dog.com
www.shirts4dad.com

Each of these sites should have separate themes, and content [meaning different databases, right?], BUT each will sell the same products and I would like Ubercart to be shared among the URLs so that a purchase on any site is reflected on all sites. This way an admin could manage all sales from one URL are sales reports would be cumulative [but this means a single database, right?].

Can anyone set me straight?

I've been reading through Ubercart and Drupal Multisite documentation for awhile now going in circles...
thanks!

ps: i dont want to do:

you.shirt.com
dog.shirt.com
dad.shirt.com

Kyle,

I do not think there is a good solution to that type of multi-site install right now. One problem is that Drupal and Ubercart do not differentiate between regular content and products. Programatically Ubercart products are nodes like all other Drupal content. This makes it very difficult to have two sites which share "products" but have different "content." At this time I think the closest you can get is to have one code base, unique urls, unique databases (can be combined using prefixes), unique content, unique products, unique orders. Then use the import / export module to keep products and orders mirrored across your sites. I know this is a kludge and may not work for you, but it is the best recommendation I have.
Peace,

Hi Kyle, have you managed?

I'm about to start a project with similar needs, and so i'm wondering how did you get this to work for you.
