Hi Guys
i have several sites that i own which all exsist on the same hosting server.

Is it possible to publish content from my main site onto the other sister sites that i have using CMSB.

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

Yes, that's entirely possible. The trick is simply to figure out the path to your viewer_functions.php. You may want to use an absolute path. Try just adding "/viewer_functions.php" to the end of your Program Directory (CMS Builder > Admin > General Settings > "Directories & URLs" > "Program Directory").

Note that you'll need one license of CMS Builder per website.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris

Chris: would it not be more accurate to say "One license per domain"?

Hi northernpenguin,

Our [url http://www.interactivetools.com/about/popup_license_agreement.html]License Agreement[/url] (also available at /cmsAdmin/admin.php?menu=license) says website, not domain. We can grant individual exceptions, of course — if you think that having to buy multiple licenses for your usage of our software wouldn't be fair, please contact us at support@interactivetools.com and we can sort something out.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Joseph,

Please contact us at support@interactivetools.com and tell us how your sites are related, if they're branded differently, what domains you'll be using, and how your content will be shared between them. Someone who knows a lot more about our licensing policy than me will be able to answer your question better than I. :)
All the best,
Chris
