3. Seblod Approach: http://www.seblod.com/resources/manuals/advanced/setting-up-multi-sites

I'm not sure of the best way forward - I think you would need ACL to limit people to certain sites

[ggppdk]

Yes, nice, will check them out

but i meant if you know of something specific that needs to be changed / fixed

[ggppdk]

I see now what is missing, will add

Thanks ggppdk - for reaching out. Sorry - I don't have a specific request at present - I'm more thinking of the way to implement it.

As a client asked if it was possible or not, and I guess if I want to implement multi-site - then I need to understand their business needs/Joomla administrator levels before giving them an answer. Also - I need to think about the best way to implement it.

It won't be for about another 6 - 8 months. Phase 1 is global English.

Hi We have been using Seblod for years and one of the bonus features of Seblod is its native multi site support with the native joomla acls.

The idea is simple: you define 'sites' in the backend where each domain is related to an acl set. Some plugins detect the url and activate one of the acl sets accordingly.

The default 'public' acl is then replaced by 'site' or 'site2' and 'registered access' is replaced by 'site1 registered access' etc...

Given this it allows you to share contents and functions as you want among your sites on the same joomla installation.

It may be a great and not so difficult to add feature for Flexicontent I guess

thanks
