MultiSite Module Support Thread

[fotofx]

You can add as many sites as you want. Just make sure there is a config file for each site. After you install the mod there will be a includes/config_sites folder. That is where the files go. Also after you install the mod you can go into the multisite tools from the admin and it will display a full config file of all the current settings that you can copy & paste into the config file. You only need to keep the lines that you change and can get rid of the rest or comment them out.

I have this module installed at shop.example.com and shop2.example.com. The installation was a breeze! I am currently confused about how to handle SSL. Is it possible to have 1 SSL that covers the domain so that both of my sub-domains will be covered? I searched through this thread but it was hard to find the info in all of the 50+ pages.

Could someone clarify this for me?

You can use a wildcard SSL certificate but with only two domains it's probably cheaper to just buy two SSL certs.

I posted this question in the "General" section and someone suggested I check this mod out. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish (pulled from my other thread):

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=647565

"I'm trying to create a fundraising site. Here's how I see it working...

Schools/organizations would sign up for a fundraising event. I would issue the school a code. They would distribute this code on the catalogs they give to the students/members. These members would go to the site and login with the school code. They would fill up their cart and checkout with their own information, paying either by cc or check. The orders over the event period would be held until the event ends and I would pull a batch order report for each fundraising event at the end of the period and fill one shipment to the school/organization.

I keep thinking through this and there has to be a way to do this with ZenCart.

-Is it as simple as collecting another field at checkout, (although I wanted this to be captured to view the catalog)?
- Maybe creating a store for each event?
- Someone mentioned using a JROX Affiliate Marketing software. (from thread Master & Sub Accounts I created)

In the end, I'd like to use ZenCart and would be willing to subcontract out work to accomplish this."

I've read through this entire thread and think this would work. I could set up each fundraising event as a store and leave it up for 1 year to capture additional sales after the event. If all goes well, I could end up have 50-100 fundraisers/templates over 1 year period. Is this a problem?

Are there any issues with trying to accomplish this with MultiSite module?

Thanks!

I am completely lost, more I read the post, more I got confused.
My question is
I have zencart 1.3.8 installed on abc.com
now I installed multisite module on abc.com
I like to setup for second site, xyz.com
Do I Have to Install ZENCART on xyz.com?
if yes,
Do I have to Install mulitsite module again on xyz.com?

Anyone can guide me with right direction?

thanks in advance.

keenskin - I have not installed this yet, but here is my understanding from reading through this thread.

You install one Zen Cart, but multiple templates for each store. You need to go into the template selector in the choose each site's template in order for it to work properly. If you want the same look on each site, you create duplicate templates.

This post was particularly helpful for me (although it is dated Aug 2007, so I'm not sure how much of the mod has changed)

Anyone want to correct me on this?

I have a question. I can see from the install instructions that the for a category description to display it has to have the following format: <!--site1-site2-site3--> with the - being very important.
What if the domain name has hyphens in it?
Will this cause problems like I think it will? and if it does what will have to modified in the code to change the hyphen separator?

Thanks
