Sharing between Multiple Sites
Hello
I am working on a customisation of Kentico, there will be three distinct kentico sites on the same application however they will sit in a subfolder of a domain i.e. domain.com/site1 domain.com/site2 etc. While they will look different from a navigation perspective they will be nearly identical.
I need to do the following
1] When creating new documents be able to optionally post them onto the other sites.
2] Share the users session, shopping cart between those sites.
I am working through the development documentation but any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

RE:Sharing between Multiple Sites
Hello John,

if you would manage the sites from 1 web installation of Kentico, you will be able to do what you need.

1)You could use the linked documents. Please see here for more details: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/creating_a_linked_document.htm There is an opportunity to select a site from which the source of linked document will be used.

2)The shared shopping cart:
You will create a linked document “Shopping cart” on all the sites. You will use this "same" document for shopping on all the sites and it will store the content through all sites.

The shared users:
It is also not a problem. Only you would need to ensure that the new users will be assigned to all sites. You could use our API in the code behind of Registration Form web part. Please see here for more details about managing users with API: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/managing_users.htm

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
