[support] Ping and Drupal modules

[Bruce Whealton]

I use the cPanel to install Drupal sites and have no limit on the databases that can be used.  The shared database option, from what I read, was for sites where the number of databases is limited to a small number, correct?  It seems easier to just setup different Drupal installs.
   
  That being said, how can I build a "community" as it were with other sites?  Suppose someone on the list, for example, had a site that had similar focus to a site of mine.  How do we build an extended "community" or "Community Website(s)?"  Specifically, I'm here referring to the use of the Drupal core module.  
   
  Are there other tools, aka modules for creating "community" sites, recognizing that indeed Drupal is made to be used in a "Community website?"  Again this could be extended functionality within a single Drupal install or among other Drupal sites?
   
  Also, I wanted to see about setting up the site to ping specific sites, similar to how a blog would do so, or any syndicated site?  Are there a number of different sites that I might want to ping?  And how do I tell Drupal, my drupal install(s), to ping these sites.
  Thanks in advance,
  Bruce

You are very likely better off setting up a "multi-site" with
appropriately shared tables. Drupal ID (Drupal module) will require a
login of the form:
username at site-A.com when logging into site B and vice versa.
