Russell, I am working through something similar and I think that the basic structure would be to have project folders for each site plus a folder for your shared applications (whose models use the 'Site' object and 'CurrentSiteManager'. Something like this: /home/django/sharedapps/ /home/django/sharedapps/profiles /home/django/sharedapps/accounts /home/django/sharedapps/notification /home/django/sharedapps/photos /home/django/sharedapps/videos /home/django/website1/ /home/django/website1/ /home/django/website1/settings.py /home/django/website2/ /home/django/website2/apps /home/django/website2/apps/uniquewebsite2app /home/django/website2/settings.py /home/django/multisite.db
Assuming your working django directory is '/home/django', you create a directory named sharedapps and place the apps you want to work across your sites there. So if you had applications like 'profiles', 'accounts', 'photos', etc. that both websites would use, place the apps in a 'sharedapps' folder. You would need to make sure the 'sharedapp's folder was added to the environment path for each project 'website1' and 'website2'. The Pinax project basically does this by modifying 'manage.py' and adding lines like 'sys.path.insert(0, join (settings.PINAX_ROOT, "apps"))'. I'm thinking something like a '/home/ django/sharedsitesettings.py' might be a place to put this. And of course you will also need to make sure the database is shared, so perhaps you'd add database settings into that 'sharedsitesettings.py' file. For a SQLite3 database, that could be the '/home/django/ multisite.db' Looking at the Pinax project code has reminded me that Django is first and foremost python, so I stopped thinking about django projects as the base container for django...er, projects. I think what Django calls a 'project' is a convenience for us to get started, but for complex development, we need to remember that what Django creates is just a directory with files in it. Anyway, that is my take currently. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will come around and reveal a better way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
