help with integration

[s1r0n]

slowly getting this setup. have a question. I have a wordpress network and all site are related. I want to be able to handle subscriptions for all of them from one site. so people register at SITE ONE and then they are automatically given appropriate access across all the sites. is this possible?

i can code PHP so I can modify files myself if necessary. but it seems like this might a useful feature to have.

also as soon as this is working I want to buy the pro and my question is, does the pro single site license cover all sites in the same network with the same basic URL like

*.mysite.com

so if I set one site up as the master site and other as slaves, do I need the pro multisite version?

Even if they're in subdomains, how many sites would you say they are, 1 or several?

About sharing users, I found this post that explains how the users are "shared" by WordPress in a multisite network: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can- ... st-1579040

I hope that helps.

there is one site. it's just broken apart by general content area. So for examples the forums are forums.thelightningpath.com and introduction is http://www.thelightningpath.com and pages that deal with curriculum are curriculum.thelightningpath.com

as an illustration, it could have easily been setup as

http://www.thelightningpath.com
http://www.thelightningpath.com/forums
http://www.thelightningpath.com/curriculum

and so on.

not the answer you were expecting right?

and ya I know how users are shared. my question is can it be setup so that there is a master site and settings of S2 for each user are automatically copied over.

maybe a better question would be, where doe S2 store its rank information. if I knew that I might be able to program a quick think to copy settings over from the master site to all other sites.

Ah yes, that's just one site then. I thought you were talking about a multisite network were several people would have blogs.

Well, user's data is stored in the usermeta table. Yeah, you'll need a way to copy the table to the other blogs, or have the other blogs use the parent's table somehow, because s2Member is not shared in the network, each blog has its own instance of s2Member with its own scope within that blog only.

Why didn't you prefer to use directories instead of child-blogs?

[s1r0n]

no reason. i made the choice at the beginning of the multisite setup not fully realizing or thinking about what the implications might be.

so can i use the single site license for the pro version?

[Cristián Lávaque]

Yeah, single is fine, it's just one website.

Ah see. Maybe it'll be less trouble for you to create a new setup with a single blog instead of finding how to share users and the access restrictions in multisite?

[s1r0n]

i don't know about that. it has taken me two months just to get the setup the way it is now. there's a lot of content and materials to move around.

[Cristián Lávaque]

Got ya.

plus I had to move it all over from Joomla 'cause I lost patience with them when they didn't provide an upgrade route from 1.5 to 1.6. buggers

[Cristián Lávaque]

Ugh, it must have been a pain for you, I imagine.

[s1r0n]

oh don't get me started.
