    • Not sure if I posted this in the right section or not.....

      Lets assume that I want to make a classifieds website. I want 50 subdomains, one for each state in the U.S. of A.

      Is there anyway to link all the subdomain Joomla's to each other AND to the root Joomla installation?

      Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      I'll be patiently awaiting your responses! =)

    • Does that mean you'd be running 51 installs of Joomla?

      Might be tough to keep all the installs maintained / organized.

      I wonder if besides doing that there would be a way to organize your content through Sections and Categories?

    • technically yes, i'd be running 51 installs.... but if there's an easier way, i'm all for it....

      basically what i need, is to be able to run multiple instances of components, such as forums, classifieds, etc.... additionally, i would need each forums, and classified component to be linked, so that users wouldn't have to register for each component....

      any suggestions?

    • Personally, I would set up one Joomla install and then have a section for each state. If you then link to a Section Blog Layout for each state for a menu item, you can set the url alias to that states name ( mysite.com/georgia , mysite.com/california , etc.). From here, you can have the state specific modules show only on that states menu item page and you can do submenu items under each state if more pages are needed.

      Then for the forum, I would set up one really big forum! phpBB3 can handle a heck of a lot and is pretty easy to work with now giving a lot of flexibility as far as assigning permissions to users and to forums. Have a separate section for each state here and then in your menu, link directly to that states section. It will be a long forum when it first opens, but with being able to do categories inside categories in phpBB3, it's easy to put a menu at the top directly to where you need to go.

      For backups and tracking everything, this will be much much much easier over the long haul for ya.

      This is also one login for users using RokBridge.

      Websites are like any thing that gets engineered in the world...the more parts you add, the more parts that can cause a problem!
