MultiSite Module Support Thread

Hi there this is a great module and I just wanted to say thanks for it.

I think im pretty much there but my second site is not receiving any content to show, and also doest get the menu or a side box.

I have added all categories to both sites, and the 1st site works very well, its just the second doesnt seem to get past loading the background image.

I have taken a screenshot which im sure some guru will look at it and say you have forgetton to do x, and it will all be solved. (or at least thats what im hoping for).

I have half sorted it out, after making a stupid mistake, I didn't upload the correct /languages/english/html_includes/cws files.

I am now getting the main page text but its not being formatted by the css, and is all starting from the left border of the background image.

I get a few produces listed on the screen, but no images are coming up for them, and still no side box.

I've searched quickly through this thread and can't find what I need so I'm going to post what I think is probably a common question.
I have multiple sites set up using sub-domains and forwarders. (chs.1ststreet.com, sjcs.1ststreet.com, etc.) and they all forward to 1ststreet.com/zen. I've got everything installed and I can edit the templates separately (I think) but it's like it's not switching sites when it comes in. Am I doing something wrong in my forwarding?

Sorry if I didn't look harder through the thread, I've got about three days to get this set up and ready to go before literature goes out with those web addresses.

Is there any way to stop the new products module from displaying all products from all sites? At the moment i have new products set to display on afront pages of all 8 sites. The trouble is that every product shows in the new products module regardless of which site it is assigned to.

What i would really like to do is only display new products that belong to a particular site on that sites front page.

Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at the way cat_filter is used in multi-site. I think if you added this to the new products module you'd be in good shape.

I am having a problem using this mod, i have set up several categories that are per site.

In each sites config file i have set CATEGORIES_ROOT to display the categories for each site. It seems to just display all categories regardless. When i comment out CATEGORIES_ROOT, i get the sql error so it is being read and used. Any ideas?

Change To: $categories = $db->Execute(cat_filter($categories_query));

Anyways, hope this helps someone.

Hi I have set this up using two different apple_Zen templates and the whole drop down bar has now disappeared on both sites. I have changed the line above. But still no Joy . is there anything else to try ?

Thanks.

Just to update my previous post , the Categories Appears and Dissapears depending on the categories_Description.

If I remove all of the entryies from the descriptions then No categories appear on each site .... BUT .. The Drop down Bar appears .

As soon as I add the sites to which Categories should appear on them , the Drop down bar vanishes.

Any help appreciated as I am demoing it to client very soon.



On a separate issue , I cant login as a customer either , not sure if this is Template / module or just Zen issues ! I just get a blank Page.

THANKS

I'm trying to give one of the sites a custom sort order on the sideboxes (including a butting the categories lower on the sort order). Please, How can I give a single site a different sort order of the sideboxes than the one that is applied to all sites via the admin>layout boxes controller? Is there a file change in the new site templates that I cna alter to change the display order of the side boxes?

Druid,

All you have to do is create a folder for a particular site (site1, site2, etc) here includes/modules/sideboxes ( includes/modules/sideboxes/site1, includes/modules/sideboxes/site2) and copy the sidebox files into it. Then you can define them anyway that you want. At least that's what's working on my installation. I can turn them off & change the location for each site.

is it possilbe to generate sales reports per site?

for instance if i had the domain

dave.mysite.com

tim.mysite.com

all linking to the smae db and having the smae products would it be possible to workout what products were sold on each domain?

if this is the wrong module for this then i am sorry but would be greatful if you could point me in the right direction.
