Module development and Multiple Site Manager (MSM)
Development and Programming
What advice have you got for developers of websites about using the Multiple Site Manager? In particular, how can you tell which site someone is looking at? I’m building a module which should only work for one site, so I want to disable it when someone is viewing the other site?
Alternatively, some advice on how to build a module which can be used on both sites, with separate preferences and data for each site.
Hey Paul, I assume you know your way around the EE internals, so I’ll keep this brief. You use $PREFS->ini(‘site_id’) to find out what site your module is called from. You might want to add a site_id column to your custom module table(s) to keep data separated for each site. For compatibility, alot of tables in EE uses site_id to separate data, even if the MSM is not installed.
Good luck!
