Slight delimma: multi sites vs object availability

Monday 28 July 2003 12:37:21 pm

Hi

I've got a slight delimma here, and any advice is welcome:

The site I'm creating is actually two sites: one for users and one for developers - they have different menus and content. The reasons for having two sites are twofold: seperation of content for different kinds of site visitors (users/developers) and because we want a .com and .org site.

The problem is that I need to access objects between sites. A simple example: there's a Person object defined in the user site - used to populate a searchable listing of the team. I'd like these objects to be available on the developer site when assigning bugs - this is one example of many where objects need to be shared across the site.

What's the best solution to this? Ditch multisite? If I do that, what's the most effective way to separate all the content? Template overrides are great - but for dividing a site in half?

Thanks
Jason

Thanks for your response Alex. I can see how you'd use the show property to only show nodes with a certain parent node from the tutorial. But how do I use a section to show all nodes under a top node (not just the immediate children, but nodes of all depths under that top node)?

Thanks
