take a tour, with dreamweaver or WordPress or Joomla,
a webdesigner have one base MySQL with same datas (same prefix_),
and
project 1 (template model 1 (css+img) ) / folder_1 / same datas + MySQL
project 2 (template model 2 (css+img) ) / folder_2 / same datas + MySQL
project 3 (template model 3 (css+img) ) / folder_2 / same datas + MySQL

in the demo process, i can show my client, between 1-3 projects online

how i can do that with Couch ?
i can see ONLY ONE project aka Aurelius model ( final code ) ?

i've missing something important !!!

Couch works by being placed into existing websites.
So if you have, for example, three demo sites on the same server like this -

Code: Select all

http://www.yoursite.com/
http://www.yoursite.com/client1
http://www.yoursite.com/client2

these being mapped to the following folder structure:

Code: Select all

public_html
   |_client1
   |_client2

you can use Couch for each of these sites by placing the Couch folder within each of these sites folder and installing Couch (thus using three separate installations of Couch - one for each site). The overall folder structure with three installations of Couch can look like:

Code: Select all

public_html
   |_couch
   |_client1
      |_couch
   |_client2
      |couch

While installing you can either choose to specify three different MySQL databases to the three installations or can use a single database with different prefixes.
The following line in the config.php of each Couch installation can be set to the prefix to use

Code: Select all

 // 7b.
// Needed only if multiple instances of this CMS are to be installed in the same database
// (please use only alphanumeric characters, hyphen or underscore)
define( 'K_DB_TABLES_PREFIX', 'client1_' );  

In the example above I am using 'client1_' as prefix.

Hope this answers your question.

ok, i've became to install this solution
but just an idea/fact, maybe isn't applicable for Couch, maybe soo far in " Feature Requests "

in freelancer situation, i hope to have many samples to show to final client,
you knows, good demos are better than words ( french mind ),

usually, i put on demo, (x) numbers of design for lightweight cms:
one MySQL, same prefix, for maintain datas rapidly,

and for client, exactly same datas, AND design make different = good job

and i have hundred of templates to show with one install/setup
Couch = hundred of prefix_ = maybe landing for me
Couch = good friend

ok continued, to test Couch with cocktail like your loundge armchair, with Ravi Shankar sound

thanks

have a nice dream KK
