Append sites/default/settings.php …….add this line below at the end of the fileinclude DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/domain/settings.inc';

Step 3: Set up DomainFrom Structure » Domains a domain can be added. This domain must be enlisted in “Hosting” and in the HTTP server as well . Adding Domain is pretty simple.

Step 3: Theme From Structure » Domains by clicking on the “edit domain” and then in “settings” we can change the admin theme for the newly created domain.

For the front end to have a different theme other than the main site we need to activate “Domain Themekey” module and for this module to work we need another module .

Step 3: Theme(Continued) Name of this module is “ThemeKey” . We can have it from this link https://www.drupal.org/project/themekey.

After activating “ThemeKey” and “ThemeKey UI” from Module a new tab named “Theme” will be added in Structure » Domains » domain.name

Add and activate themekey module (screenshot)

Step 3: Theme(Continued) In the “Theme” tab in “domain” which is under “Structure” menu, there will be enlisted all the themes from the main site and activating any of this theme will provide a separate theme for the newly created domain’s front end .

If “Theme” doesn’t appear just update script and run cron .

Select theme from theme tab (screenshot)

Different views and BlocksSince we have different page and blocks in drupal for each themes so we don’t have to be too concerned about these.

Watch the screenshot in the next slide.

We can have different blocks by default for different themes
