Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: Tip #76 Allow multiple packages to serve as "subsites"

Posted by Jeff Davis on
Currently a package adds itself to the "subsite_packages" table to identify as a subsite and then things like getting DefaultMaster and other things which you look for from the [ad_conn subsite] are just gotten from the package at it's mountpoint. The changes in the rp code are more changes to ad_conn to report subsite_id as whichever subsite package it encounters first walking up the tree.

Identifying via the .info file would be best of course but we could possibly just add a parameter SubsiteP=1 for those we wanted to be subsites.

I am not sure what you mean by "mount a package and dispatch to it, ala .LRN". How can you for example set the DefaultMaster starting from a non-subsite package?
