EE multi-page/user functions

[jaypie77]

Here's a complicated question for Pekka (or anybody, I guess). I have been using an EE gallery for personal/friend+family picture posting. Now I'm doing professional work and would like to use EE to give that a shot. Here's what I would like to do:

If somebody types in www.mypersonalpage.com, they log into my EE website with permissions to see only my "personal" picture galleries.

If somebody types in www.myprobusiness.com, they log into my EE website with different permissions and can only see certain other galleries and not the galleries under the personal section.

Is this possible? Can somebody like myself (not competent w/this stuff) do this?

Why not have 2 different EE's running?

[jaypie77]

Can I do that with only one database or do I need to pay to upgrade my service?

[gillyworld]

No you would need 2 databases to do it

Balls. So will the other solution be possible instead?

[gillyworld]

No I don't believe so

Upcoming EE version has permission and login systems which let you define which exhibitions and paths can be viewed by each user.

To get domain name redirect to another URL is easily done in www server configuration (e.g. .htaccess and/or mod_alias in Apache). But this means also that the final address they end up to is either a third domain, or one of the above. Perhaps it could be done withing two domains, Apache config is quite flexible.

Automatic login works now (in upcoming EE) for one user group: public user. Doing a secondary public user might be difficult, perhaps one could force a quiet login for users coming from domain X - this will need to be investigated and right now I do not have the time for it. But if you accept that other domain entry needs a login "username/pass" then next EE will do it nicely without any hacks.

Ok, thanks for the info Pekka. I do have a couple of friends who are into programming and maybe they'd be able to help out. If they do, I'll let you know.
