Hey Edwin. Im having an issue. I have 20 slave sites and most things are working well.

Im willing to pay you to help me get a few details corrected.

I need the ability to make site specific xml site maps. I have tried several, but my problem is they are all menu based. I need one that is article based. each of my slaves have articles that are site specific, and those article are not linked in a menu. This is important for SEO and indexing. It can be simple. Just read the articles for the slave, write them to an XML that i can submit to the search engines.

I posted the other day about updating a component. I see its easy to add (propagate to child) can yo make it just as easy to remove a component, module, plugin? While i was testing these sitemap components i noticed its much more labor intensive to remove a component from all child sites.

Lastly. I would really like to see the ability to have partial article sharing. 95% of my sites content is the same. how ever there is an "about us" page on all my slaves. even that is mostly the same. I would love the ability to part of an article that is driven by the master while another portion is slave specific. This is important to me because sometimes the core of an article may change but the site specific will not. Id love to change that in the master and be done.

I know i could do this with the find and replace. but that seems like a "hack" it would be better to have areas in the content that pull from the master and areas that pull from the slave article.

Thanks

1) Concerning the creation of a site map extension that read the articles of each wesbite and merge the result to give you a global site map, this is effectivelly something that does not exists.
I don't understand the reason of this requirement as you can have as many site map as you have websites. Such individual site map can be generated with XMap or other extensions.

2) In the "Tool" menu You can unsinstall extension and propagate to the children like you can do it with the install. You just have to create group of websites to have children.

3) Partial sharing is something available with the "Article Sharing for JMS" extension.
So you could have a publisher website (ie your master) where you put the article that are common and create in the slave the menu to display the shared articles.

4) Create an article with field area that would be "common or shared" and other speciifc is something that you can do with the Search/Replace.
We don't see the interest to create another plugin to do the same.
With Search/Replace, you can also use files that will be computed with share data or specific data. This is not a hack but a system like any mailing tools that replace some keywords by their real value.

is there a way to use the search replace to change article titles and alias?

edwin. this is what im talking about for install/uninstalling components:

why when i install is it this easy:

just pick propagate to children. no problem.

but uninstalling i have to go to each child, and pick uninstall?



and why when i have site changes....like this:



do i have to pick the radial, then hit edit and save for each site? why can i batch this somehow?

Create a group of website like documented in tutorial video 0.b slide 21-24.
When you have a group, this allow you applying the same action to the group and all its children.
