sharing of snippet or pages about comfortable-mexican-sofa HOT 6 CLOSED

At the moment copy-pasting is the way to do it. I'll take a look if something like that is feasible to implement.

This would also be useful for layouts.

I think a good implementation would be to have a button "copy it to mirrors" when site mirroring is enabled for pages, layouts and snippets.

I wrote about it a bit in another ticket. The idea is that when multi-site is enabled you can mark layouts/pages/snippets as 'shared'. This will effectively create a copy on each site and keep the content in sync. It's probably not useful for i18n sites, but great in other cases.

Also to answer the original question. You already can output snippet content from arbitrary site like this:

cms_snippet_content(:snippet_slug, Cms::Site.find_by_hostname('hostname'))

My thought on this would be to have a "global" site, that we could pull content from. I have a need for this where I have a client with many small sites that will share maybe a half dozen or so chunks of code between them. Like Google Analytics, and contact forms/info.

I have not decided to move forward with the Sofa yet, but if I do, I may put some effort into this.

+1 for global layouts. this way you can support reusable themes. if you are sneaky you can update the page layout foreign key in the database, but this does not survive edits via the UI.

2.0 will come with better way to manage multisites. Stay tuned.
