Hello,
I want to setup up a number of websites which share a single wiki underneath. The only difference between the websites will be:
* The URI used to access the website * The main page * The navigation links
For instance:
I want to be able to have two websites with the following navigation links:
marrickville.community.org: Main page -> Marrickville community News -> News at Marrickville Events -> Events at Marrickville
bankstown.community.org: Main page -> Bankstown community News -> News at Bankstown Events -> Events at Bankstown
But, I want both websites to use the same wiki, so that they can share pages, and have the same sign on.
Is it possible, and how much work is involved in configuring such a wiki?
Thanks
-John
Hello again,
I sort of got this working except I am having a terrible cache problem:
Pages saved from one website are visible from the other website, which is fine - however, the links on those pages will goto the website from which the page was saved rather than the website from which the page was viewed.
Can I turn page caching off altogether?

Hi again,
I think I worked out how to turn off page caching. Everything seems to be working now.
Would it be possible for me to submit a patch with my changes?
It involves replacing some occurances of 'mainpage' with $wgMainpage and 'sidebar' with $wgSidebar, and then adding the sensible defaults to DefaultSettings.php.
This will allow me to reconfigure $wgMainpage to 'Bankstown community' on one website and 'Marrickville community on another website, while reusing the same wiki.
The change would have no effect behaviour of mediawiki unless the user explicitly decides to change it from LocalSettings.php
Thanks
