validations put in one model in admin project or i will have to create

I’d seriously consider one project.

That said, you can share things numerous ways. Use SVN:Externals or Git
submodules to share models / controllers across apps. Or use plugins. Or
use
symlinks. Or use REST with ActiveResource. :slight_smile:

Lots of options, but the simplest is to just use the same app for admins
and
viewers.

I was involved in couple of projects with same idea. admin and client.
We used different controllers and views but shared Models.

Hello Ajit,

 Hey it sounds good. Can you guide me how you shared model in two

projects?

I think one application’s the best way to go about this too.

I even wrote a tutorial on namespacing:
