[support] Double site

[Christopher M. Jones]

Yes, you are sharing it. Sorry, I didn't follow your other thread. Don't 
know what your template looks like, but you could just as well create a 
menu in each site. In your page.tpl.php, instead of hard-coding the link 
you simply say

<?php if( $region ){?>
   <div id="region"><div id="region-inner">
     <?php print $region; ?>
   </div></div>
<?php } ?>

In your template.php you add your region into the array that contains 
all the other regions. Now this region is available in your blocks 
administration. In each site you can create a menu to place into this 
region, with links that point exactly where you want them to point. May 
be a bit more work, but this method has the advantage of avoiding too 
much conditional logic in your template. And IMHO, links should not be 
hard coded into the template.
