hi everyone,
i have one site running drupal 5.1 and publishing a podcast through the Views module.
i want to set up a different drupal site on another domain. i want to be able to show the same view with the same podcast nodes.
the new site will be focused on the podcast and have little or no content other than the View of the latest podcasts, maybe a category browser, and commenting. it will of course have a distinct template.
i have been reading the handbook and other sources on running multiple sites off the same database. this seems to be the right direction. however, i'm confused about how to make it all work.
I have done something like that: a main site with much content, and another site with only a few static pages and a part of the main site's content. I created a sites/mynewsite.com directory, and added a new settings.php file in which I modified a few variables at the end to have a new name, a new theme and a new frontpage for the site. I then arranged blocks for this theme to display a new menu, and changed the theme to not display the primary and seconday links. And voilà ! But I'm not an Drupal expert, so there may be a better way to do this.
