i've been playing with drupal for a while, and although it's very flexible, i'm starting to see it more of a framework for a cms, than an actual cms. for very specific needs, i think it could be more efficient on the database server to actually write your own. anyway, i'd like to know if drupal can do what i ultimately would like to do....
multisite setup with all content served from the same database - i only want to put the content in once. i also want to be able to control publishing on some sites whilst not on other sites, at different times independently of each other. i'd also want to be able to schedule them for each site, independent.
i'd like the images to be cached, but within the actual site directory, so instead of - say . static.example.com/imagecache/preset/images/foo.jpg - for all the content urls, i'd like it to be example1.com/images/foo.jpg , example2.com/myimages/bar.jpg with each site pointing to its own local images dir. this is for seo optimisation, and to semi-disguise the fact that all my sites would be run from one database. maybe, i could set up a sym link somehow?
i'd like to be able to insert hundreds of images at a time catalogued into sub folders - this, i've managed to do with workflow_ng and node_factory.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
