Templates From Different Domain? Possible?

[bowers01 +]

Hi,
I have 6 68c sites now (All connected to the same database) and if i have to make a change i have to ftp into each site and reupload the files. It is starting to drive me nuts.

I want to do this for showlistings, viewlisting and static pages like contact us ect.

I opened up viewlisting.php and changed it to this but it doesnt work

PHP Code:

        if($lDisplay==1)
        {
            $class_tpl->assign('body','http://truckandmachinery.com.au/templates/default/viewlisting.tpl');
        }
        else
        {
            $class_tpl->assign('body','viewlisting2.tpl');
        } 


with this error

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "http://truckandmachinery.com.au/templates/default/viewlisting.tpl" in C:\wamp\www\includes\classes\smarty\Smarty.class.p hp on line 1095

Is this possible or am i wasting my time trying to figure out how to do it?
Cheers

This can be done depending on your hosting setup. I believe they all need to be on the same host and with open base restriction turned off. Then instead of using the domain use your full server path:
'/home/site/public_html/templates/name/body.tpl'

Excellent.
