MultiSite Module Support Thread

[Robert Davis]

Should the multi-site module be able top preserve login status from one site to another?

In other words, if I log in at site_a.com, shouldn't I still be logged in when I hit site_b.com? One registration works for all three. If I log in at site_a.com, switch to site_b.com or site_c.com, then log in there, my cart comes with. But unless I log in on each, nope. zen id is coming with, but customer id is not

Is this how it ought to work?

zc v1.5.1 with recent multi site install driving me crazy.

TIA

Ran into an unexpected problem. On the multi site, one is for wholesale customers and one is for retail. No matter which site the person uses, if they are wholesale, they will get the wholesale prices. But on the retail site, there is a shipping method for free shipping. Most wholesalers are unaware that there is a retail site but someone figured it out and checked out on the retail and got free shipping with his wholesale prices. I would think that there should be a way to keep that from happening but can't think what. Anyone got any ideas?

The problem is that the multi site mod doesn't know for which site a shopping cart or customer is. So at the moment there is little that can be done, that I know of. May be with some custom coding, but no quick fix I am afraid.

did figure it to be custom - was hoping someone else had run into to something similar.

I did, and mad a complete new mod (not to be mentioned here).
For the current mod you could add a site id to the cart and customers tables to make them unique, and alter the queries for the cart, account creation etc.
