I'm doing an intranet for a company that has multiple projects going on internally.
The idea is that each project has only 3 distintive things: its homepage, a small theme variation and its posts. Everything else is shared: every user can post into every section, it's just a way of visually dividing information.
Each project will have a path:
[...].com/projects/project1 [...].com/projects/project2 [...].com/projects/project3 My initial idea is the only 2 content types to have an extra (select type) field which is SECTION. Then, I make a .tpl for each homepage with the variations and calling the views that filter posts by this SECTION field.
This would would work but I'm missing 2 aspects: will I be able to use the section field value in the path auto module? Say I post a node with "corporate" as SECTION value. Will I be able to make it to [...].com/projects/corporate/post-title ?
Second issue is I don't know how to make [...].com/projects/corporate/post-title to load the theme for the "corporate" SECTION
Is my SECTION field approach right or is there a better solution? If anyone know an answer here or article somewhere that addresses this scenario please just point me to it.
