{quote format_guid="bbcode" comment_id="6937" user="tpc1095"}I am working on a site that is very much like a small college site in which each department gets a "sub" Wiki under the control of a designated webmaster. The "students" only need to register once to participate in all wikis, but publishing articles is permission-limied by the webmaster for the department. There is to be one "home" wiki that is the jumping off point to all the others. This is a metaphor. I could just as easily have used a technical conference with "tracks" and participants. I found the Pluggable Authentication Tutorial (one of many reasons I picked BW. I won't tell you how much time I spent evaluating alternatives to BW!) I wouldn't mind seeing another example or two. Presumably for each department I could use a table prefix. I assume this works with MySQL. I could pick a different "home" directory for each department (I have not tried this yet.) Questions: 1. Does this sound workable in less than a week of PHP coding? Longer? Already done? 2. Is there a tweak such that the sub-wikis could point to the same user table that the "home" wiki uses? If all the sub-wikis use a table prefix then taking the prefix off might be interesting. This might give me my single-login / register from anywhere effect. 3. How would I even install the second wiki? By copying all the files into a directory and running the "install" script specifying that directory as the root? 4. Is there any way to make a second or third wiki without starting with a complete copy of all the php files? This is not just about disk space. I am thinking of memory and performance and caching etc. I'm a longtime Java guy and very new to PHP. Thanks in advance, Tim{/quote}
