How to handle insert rules in multisite environment?

Question

I've got some insert rules defined for my website, now I have to convert this into a multi site solution. My current insert rules apply to the new site. How can I restrict insert rules to work only on a single site in multi site environment?

Answer 1

You could create site-specific rules for insert options in /sitecore/System/Settings/Rules/Insert Options/Rules

For each rule you can select a condition (for a site-specific rule it would probably be 'where the item is the specific item or one of its descendants' for your site root) and an action (adding/removing specific insert options).

If you want to have custom rules per site and add them under each site node you could create site-specific folders with rules and override the default uiGetMasters/runrules processor with a custom class.
