Hmm .. I think I have a problem.
I've installe JMS Multisite and Multisite Article Sharing but I can't do what I want.

That is, what I want:

I have a master site .. this is only a demo for my customer.

Based on this master i will make small websites for my customers with an own domain.

This slave sites has the same menu, the same structure, same components/modules/plugins .. all is the same, only some content (articles, modules with custome html) will be changed and some menu entries.

So can I replicate the master (also with articles and menus) to change then some articles, modules and menu entries?

Thanks and best regards

YES you can replicate the master website.
You will find the procedure several times in this forum.
In very short.
You have to create a JMS template
template id = replic_master
select the website to replicate = master DB

Create a slave site
site id = slave1
domain = {site_url/multisites/{site_id}
select the template = REPLIC_MASTER
new table prefix = {site_id}_
deploy dir = {site_dir}

Hey edwin2win, thanks a lot. I am happy , it is working very well.

But is it working also with seperate databases for the slave sites? I can't get it work. After calling the slave URL I must install Joomla - without democontent, so I will have no content.

Then the next dream:
I have a lot of content in the master site that will be show in all slave sites. Now .. if I will change these content in the master site, it must also be changed in the slave sites! This is why I will use JSM. But I have other content, that will be different in slave sites (like contact, company info), so I must overwrite them in slave admin. Can I do it with JMS?

I think the second part can I do like this:
I will buy the next of your components .. then I have them all - Mutli Sites Menu Item. I will have content from multisite that I will use from all slave sites with this Mutli Sites Menu Item. Right? Other content like contact and about us I can overwrite on my slave sites.

For the 2nd, 3rd and next slave sites, I must go another way. I cannot replicate the master because then I must change all menues in every slave site. I will replicate a slave site to another. I will search the forum for solutions for this before i will ask here again

But the first problem I cannot solve. I can't use seperate databases for the slave sites. I there a way? Has anybody a tip?

Thanks and cheers..

No, Mutli Sites Menu Item ist not the solutions. I must take a look to Article Sharing.

With JMS 1.2.x, When you want replicate an existing into another DB, you have to provide its DB connection parameters in additino of the new table prefix.

If you want to share the articles between websites, you need the "Article sharing for JMS".
With the "article sharing", you can display articles coming from other websites defined in JMS. So for example, if in slave 1 you want display an articles present in the master, you can create a menu item in slave 1 where you ask to display the articles present in the master.
