I would go low-tech and just create symlinks to sites/all/modules-advanced in each of the desired sites/sitename/modules . For mor etech, maybe write a shell script to add & remove these links automatically from a config file, if frequent maintenance is required.<br>

Hello All.<br>
<br>
My apologies if this belongs in "support" rather than "development".<br>
<br>
I am managing a multi-site drupal installation and would like to be able to offer groups of modules to a sub set of our sites without having to have them installed in each sites/sitename/modules folder.<br>
<br>
Basically, there are some advanced and developer modules that my more adept users need but that I would rather not be available to some of our novice site managers.<br>
<br>
Ideally, I would be able to define something in the settings.php that told drupal to look in:<br>
<br>
sites/all/modules<br>
sites/all/modules_advanced<br>
sites/sitename/modules<br>
<br>
The only possible solution that I've found would be to create a custom module that defined it's own "module_rebuild_cache" (maybe "extra_module_rebuild_cache" or such) that used a slightly modified "drupal_system_listing" that would be able to look outside of "sites/all/modules" and "sites/sitename/modules"<br>
<br>
Does this make sense? Has anyone else come across a similar issue?<br>
<br>
Thank you kindly,<br>
