What is the content you are tryig to share? Is it contained within the 3 sites already?

Rich

This has still to be decided really.

Either we have a site which can port content to other sites or we have a content repository which sites can retrieve from. I have a concern that using a repository will affect URLS too.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

S

What is the content?

Text / html or things like PDF or Images?

Rich

Both really but mainly text.

Hey Scott,

You could create a 4th site just for content, and then 'choose' this content within your other sites and render how you wish.

Does that make sense? Obviously that's not a detailed description, just wanna make sure i've understood you correctly.

Rich

That does make sense and sounds like a good solution too however the client would also like to be able to have news items appear on the fly (possibly from the repository) without the people who can control the individual sites content normally being able to change this.

Any other ideas? I am stuck.

Cheers

S

That's fine, you can add the news in your 4th content site and automatically display it in your other sites.

Then ensure the  people who can control the individual sites have their start node set to the root of their sites (so they can't edit/add news)

Make sense?

Rich

That does make sense but what happens when a user clicks the news link? They would be directed to the repository right and away from the main site (not ideal)?

Thanks

Scott

Hmm, good point, will work for the other sections as your picking the data.

Will have a think, hopefully you'll get some other suggestions too.

Rich

hmmm I wonder if there is a way to mash in a domain specific URL somehow :S

is working on a reply...
