Re: Support multiple sites (r3189)
If you would like to see this happen in 4.09, please let wet know. He has expressed concern that the additional directory might cause confusion for users of single-site installations.

Re: Support multiple sites (r3189)
Sam, is it possible to get your script as an additionnal install script, to run after the standard txp install ?
Or your script need to be included in the core files ???

I join the chorus. I wouldn’t use it on most sites, but I’d use it on many!

Count me in too. I’m already a TXP lifer but this would improve several of my sites immediately.

Re: Support multiple sites (r3189)
What is the word on the progression of this? From what I can gather, it’s been suggested but not actually implemented into TXP. I’m running the very latest SVN dev on my site and I can’t see any changes that would allow such features that are being explained here, unless I’m missing something :/

I would think it’s no less confusing than having an rpc directory in the core and not switching RPC on from the Advanced Prefs. Isn’t it “just another directory” to most of us?
I don’t mind either way, but if it is deemed confusing how about making your proposed system an officially sanctioned bolt-on “module” for those that need it? Bundle the sites dir and template, etc up into a zip and make it downloadable from textpattern.com in a suitable location (somewhere near the official download / system requirements / installation page). The package could contain a readme explaining where to upload the ‘sites’ directory and how to set up a simple multi-site scenario.
So those that need it or want to play with it are an official guide and a simple FTP upload away from multi-site heaven; those that don’t need it remain blissfully unaware.

Re: Support multiple sites (r3189)
+1 for stefs idea. Should have been the same with RPC

Guys,
Wet and I have been discussing the best way forward with this feature. Stef’s suggestion is one we had already been considering. Rest assured we are working on it.

Yay! Nice to have a core dev so open to new ideas/features.
TXP is humming along quite nicely
