I have an issue by merging and display nodes from diffetrent sites (devided by domain) in the same Umbraco instance. I hope some of you have some input.
This is the case: I have a main site with a lot of products in different categories with category groups wich contains the products. The main site contains all the common categories/groups/products and the sub stores are able to add other categories/groups/products.
Each sub store has it own subdomain eg. www.mystore.com, sub1.mystore.com, sub2.mystore.com ect... The sub stores only have the common categories in the Umbraco tree - to avoid having doublets of all groups/products on each sub store.
When I eg. visits sub1.mystore.com it shows all the categories (from the sub1 store), then I list the groups, merged from main site and sub1 site, I get different domains for the groups eg:
What I want to: I want to stay on the sub1 site even when I visit the "group1" (and the lower levels) from the www site - of course do I get an Umbraco 404 error when I'm trying to get acces the "group1.aspx" (or lower levels) on the sub1 site.
Am I in any way able to do something (dynamically/code behind) before the Umbraco 404 kicks in - eg. to show the template from the www site but with the merged notes from www and sub1 site?
How do I do that? Any (good/best practice) suggestions are welcome :o)
It's decided that products groups will be created on every sub store too. Now I only have to show the product details from the www site with the sub store domain.
This is how I solved the problem - just in case U wanna know :o)
The category structure on the sub stores are the same as on the main site. When entering a sub site all categories/products from main site and sub store are merged into one list.
A template is used to display product details by umbraco node Id supplied on the query string.
How can I display nodes from another multidomain tree?

Thanks in advance
Update to the case:
It's decided that products groups will be created on every sub store too. Now I only have to show the product details from the www site with the sub store domain.
Does it make sense? And how do I do that?

you could also use URL rewriting to keep the URL's clean when displaying main site products on the sub sites.
