another site on the same spip engine

Monde en
1

Hello,

I am using another web site (different domain) with the same SPIP engine. Both
sites are connecting to the same database and everything works ok, except
images. I changed the line >>define('_DIR_IMG', $dir1 ."IMG/");<<
in /ecrire/inc-version.php to make "_DIR_IMG" to point to the absolute IMG
directory (/home/first_site/public_html/IMG/) of the first site (to make both
sites use the same IMG directory; I don't want second site to use (in
absolute words) /home/first_site/public_html/second_site/IMG/, because both
sites are edited throught the same administration panel - the one "attached"
to the first site), but it doesn't work (the second site obviously finds the
original image, but doesn't scale it, ie. doesn't create an appropriate
directory to put the scaled image into - for example, "100x50").

How can I bypass this problem?

I don't understand your problem. You have to installation, with the same
Database (same tables? oder other prefix), you like to share pictures?

I reply to the post, because I'm interested to use une SPIP-Engine for
different installations.

I did it this way.
I have two domains, one points to "/home/my_site/public_html" and the other
one points to "/home/my_site/public_html/domain2".

I have installed SPIP as usual into "public_html". After that, I copied the
whole content of the "public_html" into "public_html/domain2". By doing this,
you get another website which connects to the same database (and you do
administration tasks from the same place -> public_html/ecrire; that was my
point, so you don't have to use domain2/ecrire).

Then I changed the location of IMG for the domain1
(public_html/ecrire/inc_version.php):

FROM

define('_DIR_IMG', $dir1 ."IMG/");
define('_DIR_DOC', $dir1 ."IMG/");
define('_DIR_LOGOS', $dir1 ."IMG/");

TO

define('_DIR_IMG', $dir1 ."domain2/IMG/");
define('_DIR_DOC', $dir1 ."domain2/IMG/");
define('_DIR_LOGOS', $dir1 ."domain2/IMG/");

to keep images in the same place, accessible by both of the sites
(public_html/IMG is not accessible by site2!).

Image paths are written in paths relative to public_html in database
(example: "domain2/IMG/jpg/image.jpg"), so site2 won't find the images while
referring to that path, so you'll have to do another tweak - to replace that
type of path to (same example) "IMG/jpg/image.jpg". You can do it by issueing

$row['fichier'] = str_replace("domain2","",$row['fichier'])

in all files which deal with $row['fichier'] (do search for files containing
$row['fichier']; there are 12 of them).

Example (documents_liste.php):
REPLACE

$fichier = $row['fichier'];

WITH

$row['fichier'] = str_replace("domain2","",$row['fichier']).

Of course, you replace "domain2" with the name of your directory.

I hope this will be of help to someone.

Bye,
Marko
