Single codebase to multi sub-sites

msimaremare · July 18, 2012, 3:32am

dear all,

i am in a site development which has some sub-site, to simplify assume there is an organization with some sub-organizations. i read somewhere that if we are going to make some sub-sites it would be better to put them under the same domain with sub-directories, than to put them under a different sub-domain.

how to do that in Yii ? if we are going to use the same code base for those primary and sub-sites, any idea ?

thank you for every suggestion,.

modules will be ok . on module map to a subsite

another voice is welcome !

As yiqing95 mentioned, modules will do, another idea is to make this happen on DB level. For example having a tbl_site table and other tables reference it.

Or load config/main.php depending on the domain.

I have used the above two methods in one of my multisite projects.

Adding more applications
========================

While having separate frontend and backend is common, sometimes it's not enough. For example, you may need additional
application for, say, a blog. In order to get it:

1. Copy `frontend` to `blog`, `environments/dev/frontend` to `environments/dev/blog` and `environments/prod/frontend`
to `environments/prod/blog`.
2. Adjust namespaces and paths to start with `blog` instead of `frontend`.
3. In `common\config\bootstrap.php` add `Yii::setAlias('blog', dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/blog');`.
4. Make adjustments to `environments/index.php` (marked with `+`):

```php
return [
    'Development' => [
        'path' => 'dev',
        'setWritable' => [
            'backend/runtime',
            'backend/web/assets',
            'frontend/runtime',
