Multi-Site Module...

[lina0962]

Hello Gerome:

I read every message in your forum, since I am very interested in your module. I noticed that multi-sites are working for sumdomains. Can this module work for completely different domain names? Like www.site1.com. www.site2.com...

Yes, it does; the test shop only use subdomain bicause it is simpler to settup, but it has been made in order to work with different domain.

Hello, Gerome:

I will keep an eye on your forum and wait for your complete instrunctions are ready. The current install text is a little bit dizzy for me.

The concept sounds very good. I am just not sure whether it adapts with other add-on modules. (I added a lot add-on modules). But I will definitely pay attention to your progress.

Thank you for your great work!

THere is a way to adapt other modules to this one buy using the function cat_filter which transform any sql query and filter the correct products ... This function has to be added to the different module for which you want to filter the products in function of their categories. I will improve the instructions shortly; also, I take notes of all the points that are raised in this forum and I try to explain it clearly in the instructions.

Hope I will have time to finish all these instructions soon and make a proper release.

Well, I got the shpping working.

In your websites www.example.com.php file put

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_INSTALLED', 'ups.php'); --Change the php file to whatever shipping you want to use.

Create a tpl_shipping_default.php file in includes/templates/your template/templates

This should only pull the UPS shipping module for this site.

However, I realized something. If I have $5.00 shipping flat rate on one site and UPS on the other then the customer can put and item in their cart on the UPS site and then go to the flat rate site and checkout. This would give them much cheaper shipping lol. Not sure if there is a way to fix this.

That's a good point. do you have the same categories or different categories in your shops ?

maybe, you could make the shipping calculated in function of the categories instead of the sites...

I was wondering if there was a way to use the cat filter function to in the shopping cart class file to make it only put products shown on that site in the shopping cart? Customers would still stay logged in from store to store, but they could only purchase items from that particular store. This would solve my shipping issue.

Thanks,
Austin

Wow this is great news! I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Once it is developed a little more I will be turning it live. I tested it out and so far great job!

I'm trying to create two sites. One with a complete listing of products (site 1), and one with a limited listing (site 2).

Would it be possible to have site 1 completely secure; (ie https://site1.sitename.com), and site 2 public (ie http://site2.sitename.com)?

How would this module react to such a setup?
