MultiSite Module Support Thread

[marknew]

Thanks for the reply.

this is my www.shipping.actionforms.ca_config.php

<?php
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shipping/');
$template_dir = "shipping_template";
define('SITE_NAME','ship');
?>

this works to a degree. It goes to the right page but with warning about the SSL certificate.
https://www.shipping.actionforms.ca/...ain_page=login


i have tried
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'www.shipping.actionforms.ca/');
and
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/www.shipping.actionforms.ca/');

but that just makes the link to an SSL page

https://www.shipping.actionforms.caw...ain_page=login

or

https://www.shipping.actionforms.ca/...ain_page=login

I can't see how to get around it.

You need to put this in your file

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.shipping.actionforms.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.shipping.actionforms.com');

Again it will only work if you have an ssl certificate specifically for that domain. Otherwise change the domain to match your ssl

Sorry to be a bit thick, but what would i use in the www.shipping.actionforms.ca_config.php
We don't have a seperate SSL.

Thnx

You have to use www.actionforms.ca or what ever your ssl is for. which is unfortunate because if someone is at shipping.actionforms and go to an ssl page then they won't be sent back they will then be at www.actionforms.com. I suggest a wildcard ssl if its in your budget

Unfortunately a wildcard SSL isn't in our budget just now. These are only set up as experimental to see if these products will sell along with our regular product lines.

Is there a way to set this mod up as a folder, rather than a sub domain (ie actionforms.ca/shipping instead of shipping.actionforms.ca). Mark did an awesome job setting it up as I asked, under a subdomain, however I hadn't thought through the entire SSL problem since it only applies to www.actionforms.ca The mod instructions said subdomain, and that's what I went ahead with.

Any ideas would be appreciated since I am going to need to do this a few more times.

Has anyone tried this module with v1.3.8 yet?

Yes, it works fine.

At the end of includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php, you will find this line:

define('FAVICON','favicon.ico');

You will certainly have to overide this file for your template like that:

In the file includes/languages/english/your_template/meta_tags.php

define('FAVICON','your_template.ico');

You can do that for every template you have since you are supose to use different template for each site...

I have an easier solution:
In the file includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php (and your other languages)
change

  define('FAVICON','favicon.ico'); 

to

  define('FAVICON', STORE_FAVICON); 

and in your sites config file(s) add:

define('STORE_FAVICON', 'this_stores_iconfile.ico'); 

Saves you a lot of time of creating language-template folders and duplicate meta_tags.php files

I installed multisite_0.4.1 and uploaded NEW FILES(ADD_FILES), I did not add many of the MODIFY_FILES because it was a heavily modified site and I only wanted to change the header/template & email address on the 2nd site.
I also added the sql patch, and added many customizations to my extra config file in the new site, and it all works well but none of the side boxes came up at first (in my new site) then I changed the template back to the original (added the overwrite in the new config file) and every single side box was then shown. Only 4 side boxes were set to display in the Layout Boxes Controller, when I modify these it only changes the ones on the original site. I added no new files in my original site..

So am I suppose to be able to modify the side boxes in the Layout Boxes Controller (in the new site), maybe I need to add one of the modified files or something?

my new site: http://www.mr-billiard.com.au
my original site: http://www.jrsonline.com.au
both have the same database and everything seems to be good, the origenal site seems to be untouched, but I have no control over the new sites sideboxes

I'm not sure about the modified files...I installed this mod on a fresh install of ZC. But when I add a new template, I always have to go into the admin and choose the template from the Tools->Template Selection menu. Then when you go into Tools->Layout Boxes Controller you should have a button appear that you need to select to resets the layout boxes for that first time. Then you can control the box selection for THAT template. It should state "Column Boxes YOUR TEMPLATE" at the top of the page.

If your install is NOT working this way, I would suspect the install. We currently have eight live stores running off the same database. This mod is GREAT!
