Alpha10 has been released. It should be considered a major upgrade. See the detailed release notes regarding the upgrade.

See https://github.com/agentrickard/domain for the most current work.

Overview

The Domain Access project is a suite of modules that provide tools for running a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database. The module allows you to share users, content, and configurations across a group of sites such as:

  • example.com
  • one.example.com
  • two.example.com
  • my.example.com
  • thisexample.com <-- can use any domain string
  • example.com:3000 <-- treats non-standard ports as unique

By default, these sites share all tables in your Drupal installation.

Installation

Drupal 7

Module installation requires edits to your site's settings.php file. See the online installation guide for details.

Drupal 8

No changes are requires to install the module, but certain configurations need to be edited in services.yml. See the README for details.

Technical background

The module uses Drupal's Node Access system to determine what content is available on each site in the network. Unlike other multi-domain modules for Drupal, the Domain Access module determines user access based on the active domain that the user is viewing, rather than which group or site the user belongs to. For more information about Node Access in Drupal, see http://api.drupal.org/api/group/node_access/7

This module uses some advanced Drupal concepts and requires that you understand and control your site's DNS configuration. See this case-study or this more recent Row Eleven Wine Co. post for more details about using Domain Access.

You can also watch video of the DrupalCON Paris session "Managing Multiple Sites with Domain Access" (from 2009).

If you are looking for a module to provide subdomains to users and groups and do not need to affiliate content, take a look at Subdomain.

The purpose of this module is to provide a simple method for displaying aggregator feed items within a node framework. One can "feed enable" a particular node type which allows the user to attach a single feed to a node by specifying a feed title and URL.

An alternative module which performs a similar function and integrates with CCK is the feedfield module: feedfield.

This module allows you to search multiple OpenSearch feeds at the same time. The results are aggregated and cached locally, and results are fetched incrementally as you page further down the results.

It works best if the search sources are all run on the same software. The OpenSearch module for Drupal can provide the appropriate feeds, and will also pass along relevance information. OpenSearch Aggregator will sort the results by descending relevance globally.

This module requires PHP 5 and CURL support. The Image module is required if you are planning on aggregating from feeds that contain an image per item. Always remember to run update.php when upgrading your module and always remember to BACKUP FIRST!

This module aggregates content from XML feeds. RSS 2.0, ATOM 1.0 & RDF 1.0 are supported, but its architecture is easily expandable to support any XML format, check out the README file for details. Following are some of its features :

SimpleFeed will soon be abandoned and all efforts put into: http://drupal.org/project/feeds


This module will be discontinued in Jan 2010.

I will be writing an upgrade/migration path (since I use this module on all of my sites) along with writing a new Google Feed API parser for Feeds module.

Integrates Drupal with the services provided by Google FeedBurner. Currently this module provides the means to redirect requests for your site's feeds to user-specified/created FeedBurner feeds. Special user agents, like FeedBurner and Feed Validator (this can be customized) are still allowed access to the direct feeds so there is no need for any special .htaccess hacking.

What do I need to do when my FeedBurner.com account is switched to Google FeedBurner?

All you need to do is change the FeedBurner URL (MyBrand domain) in the 'Advanced settings' of admin/settings/feedburner to 'feeds2.feedburner.com' or 'feedproxy.google.com'. I'm working on a potential upgrade path. Also see the note below about dropping support for the old FeedBurner.com accounts.

New 6.x-1.x features:

  • The module can now automatically replace any links to your site's feed URLs with their FeedBurner feed URLs! For most sites this should work automatically, but for some sites (that already define the function custom_url_rewrite_outbound) you will need to download and install the URL alter module for this feature.
  • Changed all default URLs from feedburner.com to feedburner.google.com. Legacy support for feedburner.com is now being discontinued as my own FeedBurner.com account has been switched to Google FeedBurner.
  • Semi-complete SimpleTest testing suite.

Allows users to subscribe to any RSS feed on the site and receive updates by email. This is similar to other modules that permit you to subscribe to content lists, but it can be more flexible, because it leverages any new or existing RSS feed.
