    Multiple Websites and a Portal

    Hi,

    i'm working on a project where i have 3 websites (same templates, doctypes, styles, macros) with different content and in addition a portal website which displays actual content from the 3 other sites.

    whats the best practice to achieve this? at the moment i'm thinking to use courier but maybe there is another solution for this case?

    at the moment i have the 3 websites in a single install with hostnames enabled. umbraco 4.7.1

    thx in advance for your ideas

    Why not add the portal website to the same Umbraco Install? I've done the exact same thing and it works perfect.

    Here are 3 websites which all run in 1 Umbraco install:

    http://www.vanwanrooij.nl/

    http://www.plantage-geldermalsen.nl/

    http://www.woneninjacobskamp.nl/

    Just create different documenttypes and templates for the portal website and you should be fine.

    Sorry for the late reply. The points you mentioned are clear to me. My Problem is, that i have to use content from the three sites in my portal site. At the moment i have the following structure:

    Site1
    - home
    - news
    - events
    - ...

    Site2
    - home
    - news
    - events
    - ...

    Site 3
    - home
    - news
    - events
    - ... 

    In my Portal Site i must reference/use content from my 3 sites

    Portal (own doctypes, styles, templates)
    - home
    - news (mashup from the 3 sites news section)
    - events (mashup from the 3 sites events section)

    How can i achieve this configuration. on the portal site i do only show content from the other 3 sites. so actually there is no publishing/content creation on the portal site.

    thx,

    Andi

    Well all data is stored in the umbraco.config file. If you have 3 websites and 1 portal all this data will be available there. Have a look at this topic on how to get the data: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/18933-Query-multiple-websites
