MultiSite Module Support Thread

[lidlchris]

crazy problem this time... have this module working fine for months now with 7 'sub sites'.. added a new one and i'm testing it and coming up with this problem:

the canonical url is getting put into the coding as the wrong URL.. the site is swordsofhonor.net and if you view source, the canonical url is coming up as http://www.swordsofhonor.net/medieval-clothing.html.. have no idea why it's adding the medieval-clothing.html at the end?? here is the coding in the template that produces that:

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />
<?php if (isset($canonicalLink) && $canonicalLink != '') { ?>
<link rel="canonical" href="<?php echo $canonicalLink; ?>" />
<?php } ?>


any ideas?

and here's the coding for that site in the config_sites.php file:
<?php
/*
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
*/
$template_dir = "responsive_sheffield_blue";
define('SITE_NAME','Swords of Honor Net');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.swordsofhonor.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.swordsofhonor.net');

This is not a problem with the multi site module, but with your SEO module.
If you hover your mouse over over the Medieval Clothing-> link in the side bar you will see that the actual link is to http://www.swordsofhonor.net/medieval-clothing.html.

why that link??? if you hover over other links, they show something different. not sure why you are saying it's with the seo module.. i use the CEON_URI_MAPPING module to rename the URL's but that's working fine with other sub sites.. why would it pull that particular link and use it as the canonical url? in fact, i just removed that link and it still uses it as the canonical..

Hi,
I have got to this part of the install and was not too sure if I was understanding it correctly...

So, if your sites are called www.site1.com and www.site2.net Then your should rename your template to site1 and site2.
The file includes/templates/site1/template_info.php should have the line:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

$template_name = 'site1';

The file includes/templates/site2/template_info.php should have the line:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

$template_name = 'site1';

Should the text above that says site 1 not say site 2 as it says site two above that?

Also. Am I making 2 copies of my template as I want two different sites extra to my main one?

I am not too sure what to do. Due to being half way through this, my site is now offline. I am worried that If I cannot do it that my site will be offline for a while. Tried to re upload my old site and now it is stuck in this current position... craftjam.co.uk

Is anyone able to help me as i am really lost and not sure what to do. If not I think I am going to have to pay someone to do this for me.

Thank you
Ay

are you using the same template for both sites? if yes, you will have to share same configurations under your zen cart admin. So if you want to using same template for both website and be able to configure each site individually, you will have to duplicate your template and rename them.

I thinking about using one images using under difference website. So, when I update my may website, my sub store also adding the images to the product pages.

For example

Main store upload product AAA
images a.jpg, a_MED.jpg a_LRG.jpg upload to images folder.

as the same time, product AAA shows in sub store ABC with images. I looking for the way to share the images that listing under Main store images folder.

So, I was trying to change the configure.php define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); to define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'http://www.MAINSTORE.com/images/');

This will bring up the small images, but only small images.

I would like to know if there is a way to bring up multiple images with large and med size. If there is a way to do it, we will be able to host your images under difference server to allow difference website to share it.

Hi, I have what should be an easy installation question:

I have the site canadabassoonpublishing.ca and subdomain m.canadabassoonpublishing.ca.
The two templates are called full and mobile. So all the template folders are named that, and this is reflected in their respective template_info.php.

Here is the canadabassoonpublishing.ca_config.php for the main domain:
<?php
$template_dir = "full";
define('SITE_NAME','full');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'canadabassoonpublishing.ca);
?>
And m.canadabassoonpublishing.ca_config.php:
<?php
$template_dir = "mobile";
define('SITE_NAME','mobile');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'm.canadabassoonpublishing.ca');
?>
The server in includes/configure.php is written as: canadabassoonpublishing.ca.

The problem is that it ignores the templates and just puts the default "classic" one. What might be the problem?
thanks
Kevin

Sorry- it turns out the configure.php had not been successfully transferred onto my server. Working now!
