Re: how to make folder stacture 4 multiple website

I just did this and though I don't think its my ideal and perfect
situation, I do it like this (hope I don't forget anything)

1. Create a folder called /sites
2. Put directories in that folder that match the host name of the the
site (ie. mysite.localhost OR mysite.com OR subdomain.mysite.com)
3. By default I copy the /app/config, /app/locale/, /app/tmp folders
from /app into those new directories.
4. Then inside of /app/webroot I create another directory named after
the site host name (ie. /app/webroot/mydomain.com)

Intermission NOTE : I create /sites/mydomain.com in order to hold
custom controllers, models and views and overwrite my main /app
controllers models views in case I need something custom for one of
those sites. (So I'm using the same /app unless its absolutely
necessary to make a one off mvc custom for a site) ---- I create /app/
webroot/mydomain.com so that I can easily have custom js, css, and img
for each site. Back to step by step (here's where the magic
happens)...

5. Open /app/webroot/index.php and change the definition of APP_DIR
to this...

if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
/* enable this if you want to support multiple domains or sites */
define('APP_DIR', 'sites'.DS.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
/* disable this if you want to support multiple domains or sites */
#define('APP_DIR', basename(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
}
define('IMAGES_URL', '');
define('CSS_URL', '');
define('JS_URL', '');

6. Open bootstrap.php in each site you have a /sites/mydomain.com/
config/bootstrap.php file and add this... (this is where you tell it
to look for your custom mvc files first and if they don't exist then
use the main mvc files that all of your sites use)

App::build(array(
'plugins' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'plugins'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'plugins'.DS
),
'models' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'models'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'models'.DS
),
'views' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'views'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'views'.DS
),
'controllers' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'controllers'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'controllers'.DS
),
'datasources' => array(

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'models'.DS.'datasources'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'models'.DS.'datasources'.DS
),
'behaviors' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'models'.DS.'behaviors'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'models'.DS.'behaviors'.DS
),
'components' => array(

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'controllers'.DS.'components'.DS,

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'controllers'.DS.'components'.DS
),
'helpers' => array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.APP_DIR.DS.'views'.DS.'helpers'.DS,
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'app'.DS.'views'.DS.'helpers'.DS
),
# You could probably do these too, I just haven't had a need for them
yet.
# 'vendors' => array('/full/path/to/vendors/', '/next/full/path/to/
vendors/'),
# 'shells' => array('/full/path/to/shells/', '/next/full/path/to/
shells/'),
# 'locales' => array('/full/path/to/locale/', '/next/full/path/to/
locale/')
));

7. Go to https://cakeforge.org/projects/zuha/ and become a member so
that you can download a functional version of this and tons more pre-
alpha code (like a CRM, Project Manager, CMS, MU Blogs, Wikis and more
to come) --- Okay so I stuck some shameless promotion for my app in
here -- shoot me.
