MultiSite Module Support Thread

[rikreations]

I just found out that when you remove <!--site1-site2-site3--> from the description in one of the languages, it decreases the number of repetitions.

For example, i'm browsing the store in the english language and i have the product "Call of Duty 3 (PS3)" in the category "All PlayStation 3 Games" repeated 12 times when i do a product listing. If i go to admin and remove <!--site1-site2-site3--> in the portuguese language of the category "All PlayStation 3 Games", the product is only repeated 11 times.

I hope i'm getting understood...

I had to remove all cat_filter from the php because it was afecting the entire site. If you click on the link i gave before it will show everything normal but i still haven't figure out the problem.

I've fixed it myself, not that hard, just some experiments and it all works fine to me.
Except for 1 thing, EZPages...
What about them? If I have an EZPage for site1, then I got the EZPage also for site 2...

I personnally don't use the EZPages, instead of that, there is a way to add html pages to the template by only adding two files to zen-cart. for exemple, this is what I've done with this page:
http://navnav.co.uk/in-car-navigation.html

If you really prefere using EZ-Page, It could be possible to implement a "filter which would be similar to the cat_filter function. However, I might not work on it before couple of weeks as I have other stuf on the fire...

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my multistore.
My product listing is showing each item 12 times. When i remove cat_filter from product_listing.php it works fine.
I'm using 12 languages in my site so i guess the problem was related to bad filtering of the languages, but it's not. The item is shown 12 times in the same language. I suppose it has something to do with the languages but i really can't figure it out.

You can see it by clicking here

Any help or sugestions will be extremelly apreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I never used multi language with Zen-cart, as here in the uk, we assume that anybody should understand English :)
I am preetty impressed to see that you translated your site in 12 languages. This bug is due to a lack of testing with multi language of Multisite.

The problem is that the table categories_description which is use for filtering the products contain one line of each categories per language. I think that, in order to fix it, it is required to use a different way of filtering the categories/products. I thought of making a specific new table for this purpose. With this new talb,e it would be also possible to do a new admin page that would be dedicated to choosing the categories for each sites.

I made the whole category filtering centralised into one function. It means that I would only have to change this function in order to change the filter type.

That could be done in the next version of the Multisite, hopefully !

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I've already written something that filters out the ez-pages.
You can turn them off/on for each site.
I'll post my version as soon as possible.
As for that filtering problem:
Just create a new category for each language. (althought that would be many for you...)
And only use category filtering.

That's my suggestion,

Greetings,

Thank's for the sugestions guys.
I think that i will give up on the cat_filter for now, i still have many issues to fix.

If anybody wants to use the mod "Simple Google Analytics" you just have to add:

define('GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UACCT','UA-XXXXXXX-X')

in your "yourdomain_config.php" file.
You don't need to modify any files.

On the other hand, if you want to use the mod "Google Sitemaps" with multisite you will have to modify a file or two. If's there's any interest in this i can post the necessary modifications.

Regards and thanks again.

"Google Sitemaps" can know where is user is from? right?

Hi!

Is it possible using this contribution to:

1) Share customers between sites (ie: members of one store can sign into the other store etc)

2) Have a minimum order threshold on Store 1 but no minimum on Store 2

3) Offer FREE Shipping on Store 1 and Flat Rate Shipping on Store 2

----

I would like customer to shop their first order at Store 1 and then subsequent orders on Store 2 (because there's a tricky shipping/minimum order combo that a single store can't handle). So we may separate stores!

Thanks
Ernie

xzc, what you want is Google Analytics.
Google Sitemaps is a tool to help Google index your pages.
Search for the mod in the downloads.

Gerome, you've done a fantastic job putting this mod together. Thank's for the great work.

I've found an error when using the automatic update currency mod and as soon as i take a look at it i will post it here.

Best regards

My version of Zen has already been modified several different times. Can someone assist me with the files that need modifications? The instructions are for a clean version of Zen. The zip file contains ADD_FILES (easy enough) and MODIFY_FILES (not as easy). Are there instructions for the files that need to be modified?
