Apologies, I didn't explain properly... I was on the train! *Step 1* I followed the nuts and bolts "Run multiple apps side-by-side" tutorial, this meant that I could use one shared cake folder between app folders (Not that it's really important to achieve what you want). >From here by accessing www.website1.dev and www.website2.dev it would access either the app folder "website1" or "website2". *Step 2* I decided that any functionality unique to the client will be placed in the application and anything I think would be shared between applications would be placed in a plugin. The plugin has its own database connection and handles things such as categories, products etc. *Step 3* I could then access the same method from both applications by going to website1.dev/admin/pluginname/pluginname_categories/index or website2.dev/admin/pluginname/pluginname_categories/index *Step 4 *This is the trickier one, I've created 2 controllers / models in my plugin "pluginname_clients" and "pluginname_client_hosts". I place each client as a new record in the database (i.e. INSERT INTO `pluginname_clients` VALUES (NULL, 1, 'Website 1', NOW(), NOW()). (Website 1 (ID1), Website 2 (ID2)) I then place each known host and ip address in `pluginname_client_hosts` and state `pluginname_client_id` as 1 or 2. *Step 5 *From here I could detect which client is accessing the plugin by their host and have the plugin adjust itself accordingly, one thing that is a little bit of a pain - permissions for the client (i.e. category 12 should be available for clients A, B and C but not client D). I wanted to create a config file for my plugin using Configure::load / Configure::read but I couldn't get it to work. If anybody has a better way of doing this, I'm all ears.

Re: Multisite (like WPMU + domain mapping)... possible?
Im working on a setup at the moment which does what you need by using http_host in the global web root but its done inefficently. It merges full apps together.. Im using 'nuts and bolts' method of running multiple apps from one cake folder. I have then developed a plugin which is shared between all the apps, this holds shared functionality and admin is done in one place.

Then, admins that have access to specified "sub sites", and the ability to create/edit content and users on those sub sites. Finally, the ability to map domain names (not subdomains, but unique domains) to the routes; so instead of mysite.com/subsite/posts/1 it would just be newdomain.com/ posts/1 Essentially, I'm looking to replicate the experience of using Wordpress Multi-user (with domain mapping).

Re: Multisite (like WPMU + domain mapping)... possible?
I should also mention that even though a user, when logged in, is seeing admin screens that are generated by the single CakePHP app, the hope would be to somehow have their whole experience on the site happen under the unique domain, instead of them flipping over to the primary site domain. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
