Smarty

Hi,

I would like to get some idea if anyone have done this.

I want to have single instance of script on the server, and that script should be shared by multiple websites.

I wrote a script which access the database and uses smarty template system. i am specifying the table names in a configuration file.

I want to put the script at one place and all the websites should get different data based on the configuration file. and I the template directory is also specified in the configuration file.

So if there is some plugin change or soemthing, i will just change in the main script and all the websites will be reflected. and i will change the templates on each site accordingly.

Anyone help me on this type of framework,

I have apache webserver, when i create virtual hosts, do i need to map the sites for the same directory where script is installed? or shall i have some static links to that directory?

You need to allow the scripts on the other sites to access the directory with your main scripts. Look for more information on open_basedir. As this is a security risk, not many hosts will allow this unless you have your own server.

it is my server,
I will look at what you mentioned,

I have to use the same script for different websites...

thanks will reply once i go through that..

Your idea is great.

But I think, that there are to many complex projects and such projects requires unique solutions. Few similar tables wouldn't be enough, I guess.

What do you think about this?

I have done something partially, I actually didnt do anything to the script yet, didnt write configuration file yet,

probably i need to write a configuration file which will set
directory for templates
directory for smarty cache/compile directories
table prefix
database tables (such as categories, links etc)

My scripts are located in /www/virthosts/portal

and in the apache webserver httpd.conf
