MultiSite Module Support Thread

This problem looks quite similar to what I recently ran into.

After a fresh zencart and multisite addon install for 3 domains I was hoping to be able to select any one of my templates and change the sideboxes associated with that template.

That is:
1. I went to Admin->Tools->TemplateSelection and selected a template.
2. I went to Admin->LayoutBoxesController to set up the sideboxes.
3. I repeated steps 1-2 for the other templates I had.

However, the sideboxes only appeared for the first domain that I configured.

After some debugging, I seems that after step 1 above, the zencart SQL table template_select's field called template_dir is not set to the newly selected template after step 1.

In MySQL, I issued the following command to verify this:

mysql> select * template_select;

I manually tried to set it and I was able to successfully update it and my sideboxes show up for mysite2!

mysql> update template_select set template_dir = 'mysite2' where template_id = '1'

So there appears to be something odd happening inside of
admin/template_select.php after the multisite addon perhaps(?)

The $template_dir variable is used in ./admin/layout_controller.php which configures the sideboxes. Without the $template_dir set it just uses the default.

So my three sites now have a categories sidebox working but it would be good to track down what is happening here.

I plan to investigate more if time permits.

Hope it helps someone.

I am having a problem as well.

fresh install

Followed instructions to the tee...

Did not find my Home Page
No categories or side boxes...

What do I try next?

I am thinking about ust installing a older version of zen. Think it would work then?

I started with a fresh install of 1.7
and it seems to work except it s not picking up my style sheets for some reason.

Yup

Used 1.7 and it works...

Not much going on in this thread anymore?
Hope it still gets supported.

Cant afford to get a bunch of merchant accounts....

1.7 is what exactly?? I really need this addon to work!!!

Zen Cart 1.3.7.1
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7.1

Its just the previous release of Zen Cart.
I am not a programmer so I cannot figure out why its not working in the newest version.

I just got mine to work. Mind you I am working from a fresh install.

Lets work things out togeather and keep the thread going okay?
2 Minds will work better then 1....

OH WELL!! That is what I was afraid you were going to tell me!! I have my site the way I want it with quite a few addons so backtracking to 1.3.7 is not really an option for me. Thank you for the info.

Yeam well if you find a fix for the new version, please let us know.

I see no new mods to the newest version that is essential for what I need to do so I think Ill just stick to it....

The module for v1.3.8 is available at:

I tried it out and it seems fine, although I still have the template problem I mentioned before.
