HI there,

Our client has two offices and hence the request to have two different branded templates to manage their site.

This is mostly working by following Option 3 - http://docs.joomla.org/Multiple_Domains_and_Web_Sites_in_a_single_Joomla%21_installation

So what we have is;
2 x domains - http://www.domain-1.com and http://www.domain-b.com
2 x home templates for each domain - Office A (primary) and Office B (secondary)
1 x Joomla install, 1 x T3 Framework, 1 x database
1 x Easyblog install

We have created alternative menu modules and for the most part this is working as planned.

Where we have an issue is out blog feed in the footer area (all templates) - If on the http://www.domain-b.com site and we create an alternative module for the feed - the blog posts still link to the http://www.domain-a.com website content.

Starting on http://www.domain-b.com, it's calling in articles from the primary install http://www.domain-a.com and reverts the URL to the wrong domain - http://www.domain-a.com BUT we should still see http://www.domain-b.com

Is it possible to make one Easyblog install play nicely with our requirements above?

I'm now looking at the 2 possible extensions, but I think both say they can't guarantee third party extensions.

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/multiple-sites/7557

&

http://alterbrains.com/joomla-extensions/administration/multisites-manager

I'm not yet sure which one will be the best option - waiting on a pre-sales feedback from Alterbrains.

Any suggestions on how to get Easyblog to do what we need?

Thanks
Britt
Hello Britt,

I am not too sure what you mean by "blog feeds" here. Do you mean the latest blogs module? I am not too sure how would it be possible to link to a different domain because the way Joomla works, it uses the current domain that you are accessing.
