Thought I would share my small amount of insite into that which is drupal. To use a single instance of the drupal framework and db for multiple sites I did the following:
conf.php
∙ Changed "$base_url" to "$base_url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];"
∙ Added 2 new lines:
$base_url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$strHost = explode(".", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$base_host = strtolower($strHost[1]);
common.inc
∙ Removed all instances of '$base_url' from function url()
∙ Added 1 line directly after 'include_once "includes/database.inc";'
variable_set("theme_default",$base_host);
At this point I simply created themes with the corresponding HOSTNAME. For example:
I have an idea for a site which sounds simple in concept but I need some help to get going.
- the site will be a multi user journal with some news/articles content inserted by an editor
- each year will use a different theme
- the home page should be simple, with just links to choose which years journal you want to read
- the default year would be the current year
Obviously the two basic issues are: forcing which theme to use depending on the year variable, and selecting nodes/comments that were created in the selected year.
Hi, is it possible to customise the look of the navigation block without going deep into the heart of drupal? I would like that it outputs in a single line as follows:
username: create | view journal | my profile | logout
'create' would go to ?q=node/add
'view journal' would go to ?q=blog/#
'my profile' would go to ?q=user/edit
Using the 'example' theme page links appear in a vertical format, so I assume this is the default. But using 'marvin' they appear in a row. I have managed to work out I can change the delimeter, but don't understand where or how the links appear in a line, and is it easy to overide it so that the links appear vertically?.
