Hey David,
Hope all is well and you're feeling better.
I have a question on multiple installs.
I have a top level install and several sub-directory install [same site]
I was trying to use this in configAdvance.php
$config_feedDirectory = "../../feeds/";
$config_htmlDirectory = "../html/";
$config_imagesDirectory = "../../images/";
$config_logoDirectory = "../logos/";
$config_includesDirectory = "../includes/";
$config_scriptsDirectory = "../scripts/";
$config_templateDirectory = "../../../templates/";But for some reason I still needed to copy the includes and scripts folders to each install no matter if I put
../ or ../../ or ../../../ I even tried this ./

Hi David,
I tried that but it broke the main [top level] install.
Hi Bob,
I'm not seeing any errors on the site at the moment - but I'm wondering how you wanted to incorporate an actual installation at the top level, as the way includes/common.php works it expects to be called from either
/installation/
or
/installation/admin/
What you could do is use robots.txt as an indicator that you are in the top level installation and then adjust $common_path accordingly. After having made the last modification described above you should now have the following in your common includes/common.php starting at line 2:
if (file_exists("config.php"))
{
require("config.php");
require("config.advanced.php");
$common_path = "../includes/";
}
else
{
require("../config.php");
require("../config.advanced.php");
$common_path = "../../includes/";
}...so if you REPLACE that with:
if (file_exists("robots.txt"))
{
require("config.php");
require("config.advanced.php");
$common_path = "includes/";
}
elseif (file_exists("config.php"))
{
require("config.php");
require("config.advanced.php");
$common_path = "../includes/";
}
else
{
require("../config.php");
require("../config.advanced.php");
$common_path = "../../includes/";
}...and it can now be included from any level...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Thanks David,
That worked like a charm.
I was able to remove both includes and scripts from the subdirectory.
Proves you be the man. Thank you for the great support.

Hi Bob,
It should just be down to a simple mod in includes/common.php since it uses a file_exists() call to determine where it is being included from in order to locate the other files, so assuming that your common /includes/ folder is a level above the multiple installations, in your common version of that file look for the following code at line 8:
$common_path = "includes/";...and REPLACE with:
$common_path = "../includes/";...and the following code at line 16:
$common_path = "../includes/";...and REPLACE with:
$common_path = "../../includes/";That should be all it is - /scripts/ should then work once you've incorporated your new $config_includesDirectory variable as required...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
