Hi Massimo, Yes I saw the plugin and thought it was pretty fancy. I might have missed the point on implementation of it.
Here's a better look at what I am trying to do: www.example1.com ---> css+ static files in their own home directory (Independent of example2.com) | <========================================>web2py + postgresql (1 installation) | www.example2.com-----> css+ static files in their own home directory (independent of example1.com) Both sites are virtual hosts which have their own static content that is exclusive from each other which they can FTP in and out. This way a user can upload their new layouts without affecting other sites. Both sites will have the default layout of my choosing which can be substituted for their own preferences if they want to change it. My thinking is that this would give the domain owner a simple way to implement a custom "template" to modify the look and feel. I would then present them with a small manual on the output tags that could be used to implement boxes, feeds, products etc on their custom templates. Both sites will share a common web2py for installation which also has one postgresql installation. What I've done in the postgresql side is added auth field (user_id) and in the views I am pulling data based on user_id and I would like to also pull based on request.env server name. On the named based vhost side I would like apache2 to serve the static files.
