Hello,

How can I send email to my customers from second store (not the main)?

Thanks,

I know I can switch the template and then refer to Send Email option in Tools but emails are send from store1 (main store). Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Thanks for the help balihr, but I'm still getting a 404 error. Below is what I have in both my www.autographs..dejavugallery.com_config.php & autographs..dejavugallery.com_config.php

<?php
	define('SITE_NAME','AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOS');
 	define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
	define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
	$template_dir = "autographs";
	define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site  
	define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.autographs.dejavugallery.com');
	define('STORE_NAME','Autographs'); //Store Name
?>

This is really driving me crazy. MultiSite is just the solution my clients site(s) need.

The layout of my directories is as follows:
|-dejavugallery.com
| |-galleryStore
| | |-includes
| | | |-config_sites
|-autographs.dejavugallery.com
|-moviemem.dejavugallery.com

both autographs.dejavugallery.com and moviemem.dejavugallery.com are subdomains of dejavugallery.com

I created four *_config.php files called www.autographs.dejavugallery.com_ config.php, autographs.dejavugallery.com_ config.php, www.moviemem.dejavugallery.com_ config.php and moviemem.dejavugallery.com_ config.php.

The www. moviemem.dejavugallery.com_ config.php & moviemem.dejavugallery.com_ config.php
code is:

<?php
define('SITE_NAME','Movie Memerablia');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
$template_dir = "memorablia";
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','2'); //root categories is 2 for this site
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.moviemem.dejavugallery.com');
define('STORE_NAME','Movie Memorablia'); //Store Name
?>


The www.autographs.dejavugallery.com_ config.php, autographs.dejavugallery.com_ config.php code is:
<?php
define('SITE_NAME','AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOS');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
$template_dir = "autographs";
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.autographs.dejavugallery.com');
define('STORE_NAME','Autographs'); //Store Name
?>

Can anyone tell me why I can't access the store sites? I get nothing when I enter the URL autographs.dejavugallery.com?

It seems you do not understand the working of this module.
This module only creates the illusion that there are multiple stores. In fact the data in the background is all kept and managed on a single database and managed using a single interface. Unless you do some custom coding you will not be able to send e-mails to customers from a specific store-front. The back office system views them as customers for the "Company" and not "per store".

i have been looking for a way the make the RSS Feed 2.1.4 from Andrew Berezin work with the MultiSite Module, i have searched an not found anything other than a few questions about its compatibility,

looking at how the other core files have been modified i believe i have it working, there are about 8 changes made to 1 file

/includes/modules/pages/rss_feed/header_php.php


all that was necessary was to add cat_filter( to all 7 of the $db->Execute and one zen_random_select

don't forget the closing parentheses


i have it attached my modified copy.

[seancon1]

now my question!

what i would like to do is have 2 stores and 1 informational domain with no products but handles the checkout for site1 and site2. due to a licensing issue site1 cant sell items from site2 and vice versa.

site1.com Widgets
site2.com Thingeys
site3.com Information about Thingys and Widgets and the checkout process.

the way it works now, there are 2 complete stores (not currently zen cart but they will be) and they use an online shopping cart similar to PayPal

both stores checkout from this shopping cart so the scenario is fine with both licensors. but as you can guess its not a friendly experience for the shopper.

im looking for some insight on how to make sure when they register, access their account information and check out its all done from site3.com the main thing is the check out.

i imagine i will use a .htaccess rule but i would think defining a global would take care of it.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Sean

"It seems you do not understand the working of this module." Please give me a break.

Orders from a consecutive site come from emails that I set so I consider absence of sending emails from your second store is a missing option (if it is not there).
