Bitrix Framework

Bitrix Framework offers the possibility to create and support an unlimited number of websites based on a single product copy. The standard product package includes a license for two websites. You have to acquire additional licenses for the required number of websites in order to create additional websites.

Within the system, a website is a totality of the following:

• Database account. It is created in the Administrative Section (Control Panel > Settings > System settings > Websites > Websites) and comprises the following main parameters:
  • ID - a set of symbols identifying the website;
  • Domain - one or several domain names of the website;
  • Site folder - a path to the catalog where the public part of the website will be stored;
  • Website name;
  • Server URL (without http://) - default domain name (e.g., www.site.com);
  • Default Email address;
  • DocumentRoot. If multiple sites are implemented using different domains, this parameter must store the path to the website root in the server’s file system;
  • Regional settings, including:
    • Date format;
    • Date-time format;
    • First day of the week;
    • Name format;
    • Encoding;
    • Text orientation.
  • Template. Each site may have more than one template to display its public part; each such template can be connected according to a specific condition.
• Public part - a set of pages located in the "site folder" and belonging to this website.
• Settings - each system module may have a number of settings connected with website.
  E.g., for the module Information Blocks these settings represent a binding of the information block to a certain website, and for the Helpdesk module – a binding of a status, query category, etc. to a website.
