Description
Hi,
Domain access misses taxonomy specific features.
Subdomain has them.
Couldn't you combine efforts and get one great Multi-domain module for drupal?
Hopefully also for drupal 5, while I am still on 5, because some very important modules are still on 5 for my site.
Thanks in advance for considering this!
greetings,
Martijn

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.
In terms of combining subdomain with domain:
My main design goal when I built Subdomain was to keep it focused and lightweight. It's limited feature set (just url rewriting) keeps it lean and makes it easier to maintain and support (it's getting really stable :-)). Rather than combining subdomain with another module and increasing its complexity and weight, I would lean towards implementing additional features in a separate module.
If I understand you correctly though, Domain has everything you need except the taxonomy subdomains, correct? I'd try adding that as a feature request to the domain issue queue.

Hi,
I did this already...but the maintainer is not proceeding on that direction. And your module just has this..but not without a subdomain, right?
So bringing www.example.com/taxonomy_category1 to a subdomein www.taxonomy_category1.com is not within its functionality right?
Thanks for your reply in advance!

the Subdomain module only manipulates subdomains, not the base domain for your site.
In other words, it can do this:
http://example.com/taxonomy_category1 -> http://taxonomy_category1.example.combut not this:
http://example.com/taxonomy_category1 -> http://taxonomy_category1.comAt the moment i don't have the resources (time, money) to expand the functionality to include complete domain rewrites. Patches are always welcome.
