I'm a small shop running about a dozen multisite installations. Nearly all of them want the Matrix theme, with customizations like site specific logos, additional links in the sidebar, etc. At the moment I have solved this problem by hand crafting a new theme (based on the Matrix theme) for each multisite. Is there any way to make "local" changes to theme files that apply to just one multisite? I'd really like to point them all to the Matrix theme, and then make changes on individual template files stored somewhere in the multisite directory structure. Is there a way I could modify some Matrix files to look in the multisite directory structure for specific "localized" template files? Alternatively, I could use a module that changed the logo file and another module that inserted HTML text in the side bar. I looked through the "Html" module, but it doesn't work on the currently released G2 codebase and I haven't found a current version of it. Can anyone give me a leg up here? Thanks! John. |

this has been asked before and the answer is:
local/ overrides are not a per multisite option right now.
but we're planning for alternatives.
and the workaround with a new theme for each multisite is the way to go right now.
