Thoughts on Syndicated Content + Multisites
Hello All -
I am new to the Portland Drupal Group so forgive me if this is not the correct place to put this. I am setting up a Drupal 7 multi-site (sub-directories). I was wondering how possible it was to create a site dedicated solely for shared content (News articles). It wouldn't be accessible from the web, but it would be a one-stop place for users to enter content (a specific content type) that would be reflected throughout all the subsequent multi sites.
Thoughts?
Alex
P.S. they will all share the same database (different table prefixes).
