Hi, have been searching for a while, but can't still get it working -
how is it possible to filter the featured products and new products list for the index page of a particular site? The sideboxes are working well!

I have tried adding $products_new = $db->Execute(cat_filter($products_new_split->sql_query)); to tpl_modules_products_new_listing.php but with no results... The products shown there are random from all the sites but not particular one. I have added the site names to categories via Multisite Tools...
Could someone help me out with this?

Using Zen-cart 1.3.8 and multi-site module beta 0-4-1

Thanks!!!

Hi all ...

I have gotten this module installed in our base location and that site is coming up fine. Now I am not too sure how it is that I get our other domains to point back to this install of Zen Cart and if any additional things are necessary to make those additional sites show up.

Our base site that carries everything we offer is:
http://thegoodlifestore.com/store/

Now I need to have various sites that specialize in certain products point back to the Zan Cart install & base database:
swingcardstore.com
harmonykingdomstore.com
swingcards.com
moonrivercardstore.com
switchablesstore.com
seapalsworldstore.com

I am pretty sure I have a handle on how to deal with the templates for the different sites and how adding products is handled handled as well.

This Multi-Site Module is great and gonna be a God send (as we have 6 separate stores with similar inventory) ... if I can get it working. I have found that the official install instructions leave a lot to be desired and this support thread (though really helpful) is a little unwieldy to find answers quickly.



[Just had to vent a little!]

Thanks in advance for any help/answers!

Hello.

I am intrested in this module, but, before I install it I want to ask you this question:

I have 2 domains, one domain .com and one .fr. and I want to use one data base for both domains.
- Wen the visitor goes to site.fr the site will load french language, french html pages (like shipping, terms of use etc) and all products with french description.
- Wen the visitor goes to site.com the site will load english language, english html pages (like shipping, terms of use etc) and all products with english description.

Is it possible to use this module for this purpose?

Thank You.

Hi Everyone,

I posted a question here a while ago (about page 72 or 73). I am running multi-site with eight domains at the moment and all is well. The question was however 'can i stop products from all sites appearing in new products, special products listings etc.'

I would like to be able to filter the new products,special products etc modules so that they only display products relevant to each site and not from any other sites.

The answer i received was to integrate the cat_filter code into each of the new products, special products etc modules code. After several attempts at this i have had no joy. My php knowledge is limited so please any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I`v just installed this module and I want to thank to all developpers for this great and very helpful module.

I had only just one small problem. wen I type www.site.com the site loads ok, but wen I type only site.com in browser, the site displays : "the domain does not exist".
I solved this problem by adding for each site in inludes/config_sites folder another file site.com_config.php with this code: <? include ('www.site.com_config.php'); ?>.

So, in my config_sites folder, I have now for each site 2 files:
1. www.site.com_config.php (with all the configuration necessary for this domain to work)
2. site.com_config.php with the code above (so wen I type site.com in browser the site can work now and do not display "the domain does not exist".

My question is: is this a good solution for solving this problem or there is a more efficien/sophisticated solution to solve this problem?

Thank you again.

That's the way it works, you did the right thing. They can share the template too.

you should use an .htaccess file to direct all traffic to one or the other versions of your domain to eliminate duplicate content which hurts your SEO

put the .htaccess file at the root of your site

  RewriteEngine on

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix, you
  # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred
  # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:
  #
# To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,
# (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to http://example.com/...)
# uncomment and adapt the following:
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.site\.com$ [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I've uploaded and configured the new version: 0.4.1 and I replaced all files as suggested, after making sure none were edited, and configured the site switches appropriately. However, when I go to the site store1.salvationarmy.ca this is what appears on the screen:

1054 Unknown column 'CATEGORIES_ROOT' in 'where clause'
in:
[select cd.categories_name from categories c, categories_description cd where cd.categories_description LIKE '%-SITE_NAME-%' AND cd.language_id=1 AND c.parent_id = CATEGORIES_ROOT and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='1' and c.categories_status=1]

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Hi.
I had this problem. I upload the congig files and i have another problem:

When i visit main shop (esmar.eu) i get a message:the domain esmar.eu does not exist.

when i try to visit domain with domain alias to esmar.eu (http://digitalne-vahy.eu/) i get the same error:
the domain digitalne-vahy.eu does not exist.

when i go to domain with www (http://www.digitalne-vahy.eu/ or http://www.esmar.eu/) i get the instalation page, but zen is instaled and admin part going correctly

The problem with domain dont exist is maybe i dont upload digitalne-vahy.eu_config.php files but why i dont see categories on adress with www???
