I have two websites, www.moneyfacts.co.uk and www.emoneyfacts.co.uk.

I need to set up to instancess (communities) but would like to run both from the same set of web files. So the question is, how can I differentiate between the two so that the relevant info and styling theme is rendered based on where the user came from?

I've noticed that there is an Application table within the database, but I'm not sure how I would go on about using this to switch between the two or what info I need to pass through to split the two.

Any thoughts anyone? Has one of you done this in the past?

Thanks,

 Marco

If the sites have different "Default" themes then you will need to have two separate sets of "web files." You can, however, run them off of a single database.

Thanks CarKnee!

If that's the case, how can I specify which data each of the two sites retreives from the same database? Is there a config setting that I need to tweak?

I need to be able to do this because each of the sites is aimed at a different audience.
