Hello,

To all those who’ve contributed: Thanks for Radiant! I have been  
personally using it for about 7 months, and have loved it. I was  
asked to revamp my company’s website(s), and after an exhausting  
journey through many other CMS’s, I returned to Radiant, and my boss  
and I couldn’t be happier. Bravo!

My company has a bunch of sites, and because most of my colleagues who  
will be generating content are non-technical, it would be nice to host  
them all using one radiant install and admin page. I am using radiant  
to host multiple sites as described  
inhttp://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Host\_Multiple\_Websites\_by\_using\_mod\_proxy  
.

I’ve noticed, however, that many of the tags break when using one  
install to host multiple sites. Specifically I’ve found that \<r:link /

> and \<r:url /\> generate URLs relative to the Radiant root. I  
> imagine that every tag that deals with a URL would be affected by this.

Is there a built-in way to get these tags to generate URLs relative to  
some other node in the hierarchy? Or should I dive into the code and  
hack something together? I saw allusions to this type of  
functionality in a previous message to this list:

[http://www.nabble.com/r:link-and-hosting-multiple-sites-off-a-single-radiant-instance-td8567322.html#a8567322](http://www.nabble.com/r:link-and-hosting-multiple-sites-off-a-single-radiant-instance-td8567322.html#a8567322)

I am using Apache 2.2 as a balancer in front of a pack of mongrels,  
for the main (top level) site, and pointing 2nd level sites to their  
respective nodes using mod\_proxy, if that matters.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Cheers,  
Bobby Calderwood

Maybe the recently updated Virtual Domain extension is useful to you:
