MultiSite Module Support Thread

[fotofx]

For categories to appear on any of the sites, you must add a tag to the description of that category. Only categories that have the tag will appear within that site.

If you look at the multisite tools in the admin it has an app that simplifies this. You can go into each category and add the tag as described in Step 5 of the installation docs if that is easier to understand.

Can you post your config file for the main site? It looks like you did not properly tag the categories to match the actual site name from the config... Actually it looks like you may have entered the example verbatim without actually editing it to match your site..

This is what I would consider an ADVANCED mod. An above average knowledge of how Zen Cart operates is required to successfully use this mod.

Many times when mods are designed the docs may show something like yoursite.com or TEMPLATE_DIR. These lines are meant to be modified to your own names or directories.

If you use them AS-IS ---- BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN

I would normally never say this but mwaqas_isb..

Have you considered posting in the Commercial Help Wanted Forum.

I meant the multisite config... Please delete that file from your post..

NEVER post a file that contains database and/or password info.

Hi ,,,sorry,

now i attached the ...milti config files.


thankyou so much

Try this for the config file..

<?php
$template_dir = "site1";
define('SITE_NAME','site1');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.store1.vitalsols.com');
?>

This assumes the store is located at http://www.store1.vitalsols.com

That would be an unusual way to do it. Normally you would have a DNS A Record of www or store1.. Not both.. Looks like you need to figure out your DNS also.

You also need to change the write permissions on your configure.php files right away. Being your site is online and you are posting your site URL you are just begging for a mess..

You should change your database password immediately.
