MultiSite Module Support Thread

[pfabrick]

wncmacs,

I'm responding to your email in the forum just in case someone else can benefit from this discussion

I'd like to be notified if you do move forward with your multiple vendors - one storefront solution for Zen Cart as it would be ideal for my current problem with my farmer's cooperative.

Since you feel Multisite is not a good solution, would it be best for me to set up each farmer as a category in the Zen Cart? One thing Multisite would allow me to do is have different-looking storefronts for each farmer's products within the cooperative.

I need something that is fairly easy to set up. I can get my hands dirty with the code, but for the money they are spending for this store, I don't need to spend an inordinate amount of time getting it going.

Thank you again for your response to my questions.

Yes, you could definitely set up each farmer with his own category and then assign that category to his own store. MS requires that you, as administrator, handle the "back-end" - especially as far as the product entry goes.

I think you might be able to pull this off depending on exactly what you want your farmers to be able to do...and how much you can trust them not to muck things up. You might be able to use the mod "Admin profiles" to let them enter their products if you believe they can be trusted. (I haven't used this mod myself....just thinking of using it as a jumping off point for our own development). You CAN change the email address for the orders so that each farmer would get the notification of the sale.

Basically, keep this point in mind, the power of MS is that ANY configuration setting that you can set within ZC's admin can be over-written via the site_config files.

I installed this mod and it seem to be working fine. i see a number of very small issues, but that won't stop it from working, but one major issue i have assigning products to each store, for some reason all categories are going to all the site, and no matter how is the comment or the admin it won't delete or add. any ideas?

Hello, I have spent a few hours looking for possible answer and it is probably obvious but someone else may have had the same problem? I followed instructions and re-checked everything and when I access site2.com domain I just get a blank page with title Index of / with link to 'cgi-bin'. Do I need to write a .htaccess file to make this work? I have cpanel and set-up site2.com as an addon domain. Any suggestions what could be wrong? site1.com works fine, it's just site2.com that seems to not exist because it just shows blank page. Can someone point me in the right direction? Please help

Have you looked in in your "cache" directory for the debug files. These will show you exactly why you are only getting a blank page.

[gazag]

i have done a new install of zen-cart 1.3.9h
And have install multisite module

my mydomain.com page comes up fine but the two subdomains i have are test.mydomain.com and new.mydomain.com and one comes up but with all white background, no pictures and no formating and the other shows a blank page!!

Does anyone have any suggestions i have started reading thru the forum but there are zillions of pages on it!!

[gazag]

I have been trouble shooting and trying everything i can think of!

When my new.mydomain.com_config.php says:-

<?php
$template_dir = "new_mydomain";
define('SITE_NAME','new_mydomain');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://new.mydomain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://new.mydomain.com');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site
define('STORE_NAME','Limelight Products - NEW'); //Store Name

?>

no formating and the template doesn't load!

if i change it to:-

<?php
$template_dir = "new_mydomain";
define('SITE_NAME','new_mydomain');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site
define('STORE_NAME','Limelight Products - NEW'); //Store Name

?>

Then the template loads and everything is there except the pictures!!!

Can anyone help out?????
