Benjamin Lorteau	Tuesday 24 March 2009 7:40:18 am Hello, I have two siteaccesses, siteA and siteB. Each one has his own design folder, but if they don't have a particular template, they can look in the other design folder. settings/siteaccess/siteA/site.ini : [DesignSettings] SiteDesign=siteA AdditionnalSiteDesign[]=siteB settings/siteaccess/siteB/site.ini : [DesignSettings] SiteDesign=siteB AdditionnalSiteDesign[]=siteA As long as each siteaccess has his own override.ini, everything works fine. But then I realized than the override.ini files were identical for the two siteaccesses. I moved it into settings/override folder and deleted it in both settings/siteaccess folder. The problem is that the display is now identical with each siteaccess. siteA display didn't change, but siteB display looks like siteA now. Anyone knows how to keep SiteDesign priorities while mutualizing override.ini settings ? Or is putting override.ini in settings/override just a big mistake no one should ever make ? eZ Publish personal project : http://www.aeriesguard.com [fr]

What I do in this case is create a symbolic link between siteA/override.ini and siteB/override.ini I do this a lot for sites that have multiple siteaccesses where most of the ini files are the same except for the site.ini file.

Hello,

I have two siteaccesses, siteA and siteB.

Each one has his own design folder, but if they don't have a particular template, they can look in the other design folder.

settings/siteaccess/siteA/site.ini :

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=siteA
AdditionnalSiteDesign[]=siteB

settings/siteaccess/siteB/site.ini :

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=siteB
AdditionnalSiteDesign[]=siteA

As long as each siteaccess has his own override.ini, everything works fine. But then I realized than the override.ini files were identical for the two siteaccesses. I moved it into settings/override folder and deleted it in both settings/siteaccess folder.

The problem is that the display is now identical with each siteaccess. siteA display didn't change, but siteB display looks like siteA now.

Anyone knows how to keep SiteDesign priorities while mutualizing override.ini settings ? Or is putting override.ini in settings/override just a big mistake no one should ever make ?

I do this a lot for sites that have multiple siteaccesses where most of the ini files are the same except for the site.ini file.
