Same form on many domains

Hello,

I want to use the same pages, forms or CSS on 3 domains/sites.

site1.xxx is the master site (with the original pages, forms + css )

I want to call and insert these snipets on site2.xxx and site3.xxx, from the site1.xxx, (without do a simple copy/paste).

Any idea, with core components, plugins or PHP ?

Thanks … !

Hi Jean-Pol,

if db are stored on the same host, with same login, this (called on site2) should work:

<txp:etc_query data="SELECT Form FROM txp_form WHERE name='something'" url="your_db1" markup="db" />

Just mind that eventual txp tags will be processed in the context of the calling site2.

If db are on different hosts/credentials, drop me a word, so I can amend etc_query.

Re: Same form on many domains

You could use rah_flat to manage forms & pages from plain text files.

This way, if all the websites are hosted on the same server, you can configure rah_flat to look for pages & forms from the same folder (ie: /home/sites/shared-assets/).
And if websites are hosted on different servers, you could try this: store them on the “master” server, and access them via a mount (it could be mounted via sshfs, or nfs, or whatever you could use to mount a remote file system). If mounting is not possible, maybe you could setup some cron/rsync job that periodically copies the files from “master” server to the other servers.
