I was wondering if anyone has come across a way to manage multiple websites within one middleman project e.g. One master template that when changed updates all sites down the hierarchy?
Hello,
i search the same but all what i really found is
and this is for non programmer to high stuff. Maybe help you.

Not quite sure what you want to do, but from the top of my head I see several possibilities:
-
Make multiple sites, but use
ln(or maybeln -s) to place aliases of the master template in all the sites. (Same can be used for all files that are identical in the sites). -
Make one middleman mastersite, with a dictionary for each site. And…
… If you’re using Apache, use rewrite to make the different dictionaries appear as different sites
… Modify the deploy routine to deploy different dictionaries to different locations.
… Use build_after to copy the content of the site dictionaries to other dictionaries on your hard drive and to add support files (i.e. css, js) before uploading.
@tommysundstrom thanks for chiming in I didn’t even think it could be done like that I’m going to do some testing and see what I come up with. Thanks again!
Hello,
have you found a solution?
I use this as “template” and for Middleman 4 you need some changes but it works very well. Maybe help you and other too.
