>I am trying to create a website for a club, we'll call it's domain
>example.com
>
>example.com should be the administration site, no club members per se,
>although its registered users might be members of associated clubs, its
>in order for that to be the case.
>
>
>Associated clubs with have subordinate domains, so friends.example.com,
>raiders.example.com and so on.
>
>It's also in order for people to be members of more than one club, and
>they often are.
>
>Example.com will provide some general information that should be
>accessed directly by all the subordinate clubs. On the other hand, each
>club will provide information of its own, and that should be accessible
>in a menu item, "club news."
>
>
>Also, each club should be able to provide some specific information as
>an alternative to that provided at example.com.
>
>For example, example.com/About would tell its visitors about the base
>organisation. For example,
>"We promote our sport....
>"We have associated clubs here, there and everywhere."
>
>raiders.example.com/About would say that
>
>"We have these competitions....
>"We have school programs at ....
>"Our clubrooms are at 45 Raiders Way, Bordertown."
>
>and so on.
>
>What I want is for Raiders visitors see only raiders.example.com/About
>but not the one at example.com or friends.example.com.
>
>What happens is that a user registered for both example.com and
>raiders.example.com has, not one, but two /About links.
>
>An example of information that only Raiders can see is Raiders'
>membership list. Our law requires that membership lists of all
>incorporated bodies (in Australia that means Example Inc, Raiders Inc -
>company names are generally titles Ltd or Pty Ltd) must be available to
>members. For the present I don't propose to provide more than just the
>names of members, but I do wish it to be available only to those
>members, and not to General Public.
>
>Similarly, Club News would mean Raiders' news at Raiders, Friends' news
>at Friends, but their news should be accessible through another menu choice.
>
>I have a working list of associated clubs, so switching between domains
>is trivial. I an happy to have just one list of members, but they must
>only see member's-only content from whichever site they are looking at
>at the moment, and then only if they are members of that club.
>
>I have been trying to do this with the domains modules, but I am not
>sure that the will let me do what I want without cutting code. I am
>pretty feeble with PHP, but I might manage a small amount.
>
>Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve my ends? Is using the
>domains modules my best choice, or should I look at something else?
