Linking Multiple Phpld Directories??

    Hello all,

    Im looking to link around 10 directories each with a different domain name. When I say link I want to be able to submit a link to one directory and it be shown on all 10 directories when accepted.

    Is this possible?

    Would it be a case of using the same database with multiple phpld scripts? but if you do that would the config settings be the same for all of them or is the config setting stored out of the database?

    I hope someone has knowledge.
    Thanks

    Of all the schemes to create crappy directories, this type of thing would definitely be the worst in my opinion.

    Yes, you would simply connect to the same database in the config. The main problem with that is google would likely see these as the same site (or duplicate content). What other people have done is make their own private submit form where you can check off which directories you want to add a link, and just submit once, but use different databases.

    Doesn't Really help with my problem but thanks for your opinion (even though you have no idea what im using it for)

    Thank you for a useful response, ah ok so it would basically put the information straight into each of the database when the form is submitted instead of you having to manually submitting each of them. Would this just be a custom made script or is there something off the shelf that is readily available that you know of?

    Sorry, but unfortunately I am only aware of this because I worked with a couple of customers who did this through our jobs area. It really only works when all the category structures are exactly the same. If we get some free dev time, it's possible we might be able to release something like this, but right now we are swamped with jobs, so this would remain a custom mod that would require a few hours of work ($$).
