One content folder with multiple site.txt files for multisite

Kirby 3 Questions 🤔
1

I have multiple kirby installs using the same content folder.

The sites should have different names - however, with my setup, it takes the “site.txt” file from the unique content folder so all sites are named the same.

Is there a way to have one content folder with multiple site.txt files - and then map each site to use their related site.txt file?

Cheers

No, not out of the box. But instead of calling the site title, you might as well set up a field for each language (maybe in a structure field), then use this information instead of the site title.

@romain Would you be able to explain your setup in a little more detail? - e.g., why do you have all these different sites accessing the same content folder? Sounds like an interesting setup, and I’d like to understand your use-case.

Depending on how/why you need the multi-site setup, you might be able to simply set all the different sites up with a custom configuration for their ‘/content’ folder - ie., they’d all point to the same content folder. You can read more about placing the default Kirby folders in different location - and multi-site setups - here.

TBH, don’t know whether that would work, and what kind of problems you’re likely to run into. The Kirby team has gone through a lot of trouble to cater for different situations that arise during the ‘normal’ editing process - e.g., if 2 people are trying to edit the same content at the same time.
