Multiple FAQs in one installation

flotschgo_mdtl · Post by **flotschgo_mdtl** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 4:01 pm

Hi,

i'm new to phpMyFAQ and have the following requirements:

- i need multiple different FAQs for different shops/domains, f.e. webshop.at, webshop.de, webshop.ch
- i would like to have only one installation/database of phpmyfaq

i think thats possible with 3 different main categories, isnt it?

challenges i can think of now is getting latest and related faqs only for one main category!

thanks in advance for help!

Hi,

phpMyFAQ supports mulit sites, but only with own database per site, not shared ones...

thanks for your answer!

am i seeing this right that a multisite installation is only possible with one maindomain and multiple subdomains?

possible in one installation:
faqshop.de
beta.faqshop.de
alhpha.faqshop.de

not possible in one installation (this is what i need!):
faqshop.de
faqshop.at
faqshop.ch

?

Hi,

yes, that's right, but it should be possible to extend this feature...

Just to be absolute sure (with v.2.8.2)

http://faq.example.org/astronomy/
and
http://faq.example.org/biology/

need two completely separate databases (thus separated tables), e.g.,

astronomy DB + astronomy_faqconfig table + other phpMyFAQ "astronomy_" prefixed tables
and
biology DB + biology_faqconfig table + other phpMyFAQ "biology_" prefixed tables

and not one database containing tables with different prefixes, e.g.

science DB + astronomy_faqconfig table + other phpMyFAQ "astronomy_" prefixed tables
and
science DB + biology_faqconfig table + other phpMyFAQ "biology_" prefixed tables

..
Thanking in advance

Kind regards

Hi,

you can use one database, the post before mentioned an single installation using the multi site feature. I have 10 FAQ installation locally in one database using prefixes.

I hit this issue approximately 5 minutes after installing phpmyfaq. I run several "brands" on the same base architecture. Each brand has it's own FAQ and of course a different domain name. I see no technical issues in running different domains under the same install of phpmyfaq, provided that the web server handles this "mapping", as it does when mapping the A.site.com and B.site.com.

thank you.

Hi,

yes, it should be possible. We could add this enhancement in 2.9 if you like. Please file a feature request at https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/is ... state=open
