MultiSite Module Support Thread

I don't think you set up your sub2 to point to sub1.

Take a look at my earlier post here and set up your sub2's directory root to sub1. When finished, I believe it should work.

YAYYY!!! That did it! Thank You! You made my day. Now I can move on.

So when I add this mod to the live site, sub-domains won't be used. Each store will have its own domain name. All I have to do is point each domain name to the same server as the main domain, right? And of course configure the files.

[balihr]

Well, it's a bit different with domains. If you go with different domain names, you'll need to change your DNS settings of the second site to point to your main site. I'm not that good with that part of this module. I think that all you need to do is change your DNS settings for the second domain, but if not, try contacting fotofx, maybe he can help you.

Thanks balihr

I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

What I'm seeing now is for the second site, the partners/site_links sidebox won't show up. I switched to the site2 template and configured the boxes. The site_links box is activated but won't show in the left or right column. The sort order number is not conflicting with any of the other boxes.

I turned off all sideboxes one at a time, refreshing the site each time. The site_links sidebox didn't show up.

I reset the sideboxes and the site_links box didn't show up.

I'm using the same template as on the main site, though I did rename the template folders.

The site_links box does show up on the main site.

[balihr]

I'm not using that sidebox, but...
It's an addon, right? Did you install it twice, once for each template? Try that.

It's a part of the multi-site mod. It doesn't have to be used but it allows for cross site carts.

It's step six here

http://www.medea.co.uk/dev/multisite...tions_0.4.html

The file

includes/modules/sideboxes/site_links.php

is the file where store links get added

The file isn't in an override folder so I don't understand why it's not being picked up by the second site.

I tried as you suggested and placed a copy of the file in an override folder and that didn't do it.

I'm still looking to see if there's an answer out there somewhere.

Maybe you already checked this but is worth asking... did you add the link to the box? I mean, did you add them both and the links and names are correct? Maybe a colon out of place or a missing apostrophe?

Well worth asking ideasgirl. Thank you. That was the problem.

I had only one link in there and expected to see it on both sites.

Now I see that which ever site I'm on, the corresponding link doesn't show.

[ideasgirl]

Yeah! Sometimes we fail to check the most "obvious" places.

Now I see that which ever site I'm on, the corresponding link doesn't show.

You mean... DOES SHOW, right?
