I have setup drupal 6 with multisites working great.
I have 1 myportal.com
And several "child" sites.
Hope some experts here can provide me with a soltution on this.
I found with mysql you can create "VIEWS" but not sure how this would work to share content, user registration so its still uncertain for me.
My question:
How can I make:
1) Global user registration ( User registers on any of the children sites OR directly on the portal and can comment on any of the sites running on my drupal multisites )
2) Share content. How would I be able to grab content from any of the children sites and place that content on the myportal.com drupal site?
Comments
views and mysql 5 a start?
I guess views and mysql 5 is a good start.
Not sure on how to do that.
But then im still uncertain on the global user registration, register from any site, post everywhere " register once, post anywhere " " register once, user account on every single site " concept I hope this is possible but I guess it is, drupal has so many great flexible features.

Multisites are not the best way to share content across sites (it's really meant to be more for simply sharing a single instance of core code). imo you should checkout the http://drupal.org/project/domain module.

World I have looked into that
World
I have looked into that module but ( im not shure why anymore exactly) it did not fit my scope.
I could not enable disable modules on a per site basis for example
So im still looking for a way to get global user registration ( register anywhere and post anywhere with the same useraccount => over several domains running from 1 database with true multisite setup )
And a way to grabb content from several sites and display it on the portal site
RSS could be used ofcourse but dont want to publish full rss feeds so i guess some View that grabs content from the several database tables ( those sites i want to grabb/pull the content from will be configured with the same setup in the end )

hmm... I think we use http://drupal.org/project/bakery for sso across the drupal.org infrastructure, but it requires the same 2nd level domain. There's also http://drupal.org/project/singlesignon. And though not sso, there's always openid.
For sharing content via rss have you tried the http://drupal.org/project/feedapi module? You might be able to get the kind of granular content pull you want by combining it with views.
Otherwise I'm afraid you left with a complex manual integration with shared and/or prefixed tables. See http://drupal.org/node/291373 and http://drupal.org/node/201673 for some ideas. You'll probably also want to browse through the multisite child pages of the Advanced Installation multisite documentation.
Sorry that's not more helpful :-(

Thanks World, I think i have
Thanks World,
I think i have to do manual configuration and share tables between the different sites. Hope I can figure that out but thats for next week.
Thanks for the links I bookmark them and check them next week.
There's also http://drupal.org/project/singlesignon
Found that but it gave strange isues in the admin section, I look at it again lateron.
My sites are all full .com domain names not subdomains so that makes it a bit more complicated also I guess
Sure I will work this out someday, somehow ;)
For shared login I found
For shared login I found there is a multisite login module indeed like you stated
Requirement for this is that you use multiple databases, in my case i have 1 database with prefixes...
The module info page says there will be patches and a fix for single database also, but last update on the module was in sept. this year and no updates on this.
Does anyone made this multisite login module to work with single database setup in drupal 6? Would love to hear that would fix my login problem with almost no configuration and solid
