    I have the following idea to make MODx minimally multisite capable:

    What if each user could have a set root id for their manager window?

    Then say a site admin could maintain the main site but subsites (say for specific departments) could be managed by another person who will never see the other pages in the manager.
    • Um...yeah, that’s the point of roles. And document/user groups. Unless I’ve completely missed your point undecided

        Sorry, should have been a bit more clear.

        I am talking about having the document tree only display the subsection of the site that that user is responsible for.

        So say the man site has 2 folders, a and b . When a is logged in he/she only sees the contents of folder a in his/her site tree as if it was the entire site. Folder a is displayed as the root (where site name is now). When b is logged in .............

        And the site admin can still see the entire site......
        • now that’s a cool idea indeed.

            Can’t you do that with TP3.2?

                • As far as I know, the user will still be able to see and open all documents, he just won’t be able to edit or otherwise manipulate documents he doesn’t have permissions for.

                  Wow, was I wrong! Did a quick check (I’ve not been using the system lately), turns out you only see the docs your group has permissions for! embarrassed

                    mark:
                    i think what you are proposing is not multi site functionality but just giving acces to a page and its children.
                    A site does not only contain pages. It also contains its own user base, its own settings, its own domain, just to name a few things.

                      This idea came about for a site that has a main site and many subsites.
                      Thats why I said minimally because ideally the users and resources WOULD be shared in this case.

                      Agreed: This thread has been changed to Subsite Proposal
