MultiSite Module Support Thread

[PearceStephens]

I have noticed its actually every sidebox..not just the categories!

We have been using the MultiSite Module successfully now for over a year and are very happy with it. I have one question though -- is it possible to make a customer ONLY a customer for one site and not the other or are they able to login in at all sites successfully.

Here is our situation:

We have store A and store B. We want customer A to only be able to view products at Store A (storeA.oursite.com). We want customer B to only be able to view and order products at Store B (storeB.oursite.com).

I am running into issues where I would like there to be customer groups (Group A for Store A, Group B for Store B, etc.) where we can control the products they see and can order once they log in.

Any suggestions? Or is it becoming a situation where we now need to move on to separate installs?

I think the easiest/quickest way is to use two separate stores.

By the way, there is some good news.
The multi-site version for Zen Cart 1.5x is almost ready, the only thing left is to update is the manual.
You can find the latest version at Github for now.
https://github.com/Zen4All/Zen-Cart-Multisite-Module

I think you can install it without the updated manual if you are familiar with this module. If you find any issues or have things you would like to be added or changed (and if it is of use to the majority of users) please let me now.

I am having a problem where I cant get the categories to appear in the categories side box. They appear in the upper category menu though, but I dont use this.

What would be preventing the categories from appearing in the categories side box module?

Did you remember to put in the comment tags in the category descriptions?

<!--sitename1-sitename2-->

Hey mate, I managed to crack that..However I am having a problem with my template, which it may be due to it being a custom template. But none of the sidebox's are showing, is this just me?

After selecting the template did you run
admin > tools > layout boxes controller > reset??

Alright guys, next problem!

I have two carts which you can view here

Just out of the box setup, multi setup is linking fine! However! The categories on the upper menu are working correctly but the left sidebox category menu just seems to ignore the multisite settings that I specify and displays all categories.

What gives?
