Hi,
drupal and PHP are new for me. I need to develop a website where you can navigate to 2 different sites (might be 2 different domains from main site or sub domains of main site) from the main site. for example a user can navigate from mainsite.com to site1.com and site2.com.
The structure (blocks displayed, themes) of mainsite.com and site1.com,site2.com will be different.
The content displayed on site1 and site2 will be from two different fields say from Arts and Science.
now what i need is the structure of site1 and site2 should be same and when the administrator makes any change to structure of site1 ( displays a new block or removes a currently displayed block) these changes should be reflected on site2 also.
for example if currently there are two sames blocks being displayed on site1 and site2; with content from Arts and Science. And now i add one another block to site1 this block should appear on site2 also, but content being different(from Arts on site1 and from Science on site2).
Can anyone tell me how can i achieve this.
I have created mainsite, site1, site2 using drupal multisite, same codebase,different databases.
I am using windows plateform.
Thanx in advance.

Well, you say that the
Well, you say that the empirical composition of the two sites - (content, themes, blocks) et al are going to be different. And since both of them are in different databases, there's little or no scope for database level or drupal db-structure level coherence.
If I interpret your needs right, you 're probably looking for a common multisite admin UI. (Given that you don't mind sharing the db), You can probably achieve something similar using the MultisiteAPI or perhaps an XUL client(? Less practical, overboard solution).

is DomainAccess.module suitable?
thank you Pavan for reply.
yes i need a common multisite admin UI. But there wil be same blocks on all the sites. And if i disable a block for site1 then it should be automatically get disabled for site2 also.
from your reply the only option i had was to use MultisiteAPI but it can be used only with Multisite.module and Multisite.module is depricated so i could not try this.
Can you suggest any thing else. I am asking to every body on the forum.
Another option i found is to use DomainAccess.module.
But i could not install it even after reading it's install.txt file.
Is DomainAccess.module a suitable option for my purpose?
I'll be using OG also.
Plz help.
