Multiple Web Concept

posts: 1

I have done some searches, but havn't found an answer, so I appologize if this has already been answered.

I am trying to figure out how straight forward it would be to have multiple 'webs', using a twiki phrase. I am looking at tikiwiki as an alternative to sharepoint, and need some similar functionality, so that the following would happen.

If a user went to www.mydomain.com/it they would see a set of forums, wiki structure, file gallery, etc.

however, if a user went to www.mydomain.com/engineering they would see a completely different set of forums, wiki structure, file gallery, etc.

and so on.

However, we want to take it a step forward, so that differewnt teams or projects would have their own forums, files, etc.

www.mydomain.com/AD_rollout
www.mydomain.com/new_widget
www.mydomain.com/disaster_recovery
www.mydomain.com/marketing_team
etc.

Is this possible to do with Tikiwiki? I wouldn't want to have to do a clean install for every project or team, so I was wondering if there was another way to get the same functionality.

Thanks

Billy

Yeah peice of cake!

Setup each user into different groups, then grant those groups access to different file galleries, forums, wiki structures, etc.

I have setup numerous sites using this configuration. One of which is mods.tikiwiki.org

Yes, but some issues related to security, I think:

Will users of these groups be truly kept from seeing each others' info?

Print Pages
Index or TOC
Dump
Last Modified
Search
etc.

Will all these views respect the security assigned to the groups?

Damian, I'm running Br 1-9 CVS and I can confrim that this does not work.
Runa set up UserA UserB which belong to GroupA and GroupB respectively.

In most of these areas listed below, pages and structures created for and assigned to only GroupA are visible by UserB and vice-versa. The pages may sometimes not be opened, but they still show up.

If you are thinking about Last Modified, or Watch pages, etc. this is very confusing for a UserB to see a bunch of stuff from GroupA C, D, E, F....etc. Sort of defeats the whole idea of groups. Is there some way to tackle this properly?

Thanks
