civiCRM for Multiple sites on WordPress

(1/1)

lyakov:
I am developing web sites for international non-profit organization. Here is a plan:  main  site for organization, sites for five regional offices plus  at list three sites for news blogs, site for internet radio and possibly site for internet tv, also in a long term sites for member organizations(members of regional sites,  currently over 100) each site will be hosted on virtual server, plus separate MySQL server. Question: can I use single CiviCRM, installed on MySQL server to service all above mentioned sites, or I need separate installation for each site with a daily procedure to dump each individual CiveCRM database to additional instance of CiveCRM that will serve as a central repository. It’s going to be WordPress sites. If it has not been done before we will be willing to pay reasonable development cost and contribute it back to CiveCRM community.   

Erik Hommel:
In theory you should be able to use a single CiviCRM, using the API with REST for communication between different sites.

Hershel:
lyakov, this sounds a bit complicated. What are your needs for each site? There are a lot of issues, depending on what you want to do, such as event registrations and contribution pages being available on multiple sites....

Erik Hommel:
On top of that I could imagine Drupal is more suited for this type of setup?

lyakov:
Everyone thanks a lot for your responses and apologies for not posting earlier I was involved with other rather urgent project for last two weeks. After doing some reading on this forum and civiCRM wiki pages I think much better approach will be to give each member organization its own civiCRM install.
