Multisites v2 design about multisites HOT 13 CLOSED

I've never used multisites, so I can't really comment on it. But from what I understand, this seems it be a valuable update and a future prove concept. 👍

@Guite What checks occur via IP address that you mentioned? Would such checks restrict functionality if a site is on server cluster and load balancer that may have varied IP addresses?

from multisites.

@shefik the validator is contained in Symfony: http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/constraints/Ip.html

from multisites.

@Guite Okay, so this is only just validating that the input is a real IP Address?

from multisites.

Yes.

Here is an updated model version:

Most important changes include:

• Restructured based on an early development version of MOST 0.7.0 (therefore only one diagram remains); thus entities have their own actions now.
• Added project table for grouping sites by client or topic
• Added a second var container containing only security-related settings
• Added custom action for exporting a site into a new template
• Added new field for a whitelist of languages per site (see #17)
• Added settings container for disabling unrequired generator features (like rss and atom feeds or content types and blocks)
• Added a new table for template parameters (variable information to be defined for each site)
• Added two parameter fields to the site table (csv upload, array for manual form-based input)
• Added custom action for reapplying templates to all assigned sites
• Added cascade and edit settings to all new relationships

from multisites.

Todo: add upload fields on the site entity for uploading a custom logo as well as a favicon.

Probably refs zikula/core#966.

Next update reflecting the most current design iteration:

Recent changes:

• set version to 2.0.0
• added two new upload fields to the site entity for storing logo and favicon images
• changed folders field type in the template entity from string to array
• added another array field named exludedTables to the template entity to allow skipping certain tables when reassigning a template to all sites based on it
• removed unrequired access table

from multisites.

Design iterations are completed for v2, therefore this ticket can be closed.

Minor model update:

• removed one obsolete modvar
• replaced parameters table by an array field

from multisites.

Nice job 👍

Another model iteration:

• Added some actions
• Removed activationDate field in the site table (since we have createdDate provided by the standard fields extension already)
