Tips for Multisite in Drupal

In last post I've reviewed the process to build a multisite. Here are some tips and tricks!

  1. If you want to use a new theme for the new site with the configuration, $conf =

    array('site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
    'theme_default' => 'pushbutton',
    'anonymous' => 'Visitor',);


    please be sure give the parameter "theme_default" a new name such as "newtheme". Then copy the whole folder of your current main theme as a new folder called "newtheme" under "/themes".

    This gives the grantee of the maximal compatibility of your new theme which is to be modified.


  2. Just remember to activate your "newtheme" in your main site, otherwise Drupal will not use the new theme.
