Is there any way posts can automatically be assigned a default "base" domain along with whatever subdomain(city) happen to be on without having to use the source module? I would like the ability for users to see a view of an aggregated central page with all posts yet when clicking on an indiviidual post, be directed to the subdomain(city) where the post originated. The problem with the source module is it redirects users to the source page rather than to the original posting subdomain(city). I would like users to post only from subdomains(cities).

In other words the normal use of the site is from subdomains (cities) but users can go to a central "base" page and see a list view of posts from all cities. Clicking on any post will take them to the city the post came from.

You probably need domain source, as that is what it is designed for.

Posts are automatically assigned to the domain from which they were created. Links from other domains to those posts (on pages like search) will be directed to that domain, unless the posts are also assigned to 'all affiliates'.

The Domain Source module should automatically assign posts to the domain from which they were entered as well. So check the records in the {domain_source} table for accuracy.

I suspect you are letting users posts from domains other than (city). Read section 4.2.2 Content Editing Forms. But for this to work, your users would have to register from the (city) as well, or you would need to assign them to the appropriate city.

Another option is _not_ have content be assigned to all affiliates, and instead list the 'aggregate' page as a 'special page request.'

The module for this is the 'user/%/track' page, which shows all posts by a user, regardless of their domain.
