Drupal 7 multi-site, multiple database and 1 shared code base

I want to develop drupal multi-site with this structure:

  • One shared codebase drupal 7 multi-site, each web site has own database.
  • One master web site that has some tables shared.
  • Each multi site instances read some tables from master's database, not own database. For example conntent types, fields, views, rules and related configirations read only master's database. So I can develop all sites on one place.

As a result each site must use same content types, views, rules but different contents. I am user 1 of all sites. Sub site editors has create content and user permisions only. I dont want to share users accross sites. So I cant use domain acceess. Is it possible that?

Thanks for your helps.

Solution

  • This module should allow you to accomplish what you are looking for:

    https://drupal.org/project/domain

    As it states in the module description you can share tables with the domain prefix module. You can select which tables will be shared and which ones will not.
