Hello everyone,
Sorry for the not so clear subject line, allow me to explain :)
I've recently created my first Drupal website, visible here: http://www.winwatt.eu. I must say it's been quite fun working with Drupal so far.
The company for which this website was created will start several affiliates in France. They want a separate website for France that reuses content from the Belgian website.
What would be the best approach? The options I thought of so far:
* create a new menu structure, that works as an alternative to $primary_links called something like $france_links. I will also create a special page.php.tpl that displays the $france_links menu instead. But I fear it will show the original $primary_links when you open a common page.
* based on the option above, but make the menu selection in page.php.tpl conditional. But I don't know what would be the most elegant way to progress the user's country selection through the different pages. Will this approach fail for users that receive a deeplinking URL (one that doesn't pass through the language/country selection page)?
* create a French language that is specific to France, so Dutch woudl be /nl , French Belgium is /fr en French France is /fr_france. The problem that I have with this approach is that the Primary links menu will become horrendously complicated and cumbersome to maintain.
* create a second Drupal website using /sites/france.winwatt.eu and a subdomain http://france.winwatt.eu. But can I use content from the default site in this scenario?
* create a complete copy and run 2 Drupal websites. My last option: I don't want to maintain 2 websites.
* anything else less cumbersome?
Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Wouter
