MultiSite Module Support Thread

[runner1492]

This problem looks quite similar to what I recently ran into.

After a fresh zencart and multisite addon install for 3 domains I was hoping to be able to select any one of my templates and change the sideboxes associated with that template.

That is:
1. I went to Admin->Tools->TemplateSelection and selected a template.
2. I went to Admin->LayoutBoxesController to set up the sideboxes.
3. I repeated steps 1-2 for the other templates I had.

However, the sideboxes only appeared for the first domain that I configured.

After some debugging, I seems that after step 1 above, the zencart SQL table template_select's field called template_dir is not set to the newly selected template after step 1.

In MySQL, I issued the following command to verify this:

mysql> select * template_select;

I manually tried to set it and I was able to successfully update it and my sideboxes show up for mysite2!

mysql> update template_select set template_dir = 'mysite2' where template_id = '1'

So there appears to be something odd happening inside of
admin/template_select.php after the multisite addon perhaps(?)

The $template_dir variable is used in ./admin/layout_controller.php which configures the sideboxes. Without the $template_dir set it just uses the default.

So my three sites now have a categories sidebox working but it would be good to track down what is happening here.

I plan to investigate more if time permits.

Hope it helps someone.

I am thinking about ust installing a older version of zen. Think it would work then?

[milobloom]

I started with a fresh install of 1.7
and it seems to work except it s not picking up my style sheets for some reason.

[milobloom]

Yup

Used 1.7 and it works...

Not much going on in this thread anymore?
Hope it still gets supported.

Cant afford to get a bunch of merchant accounts....

1.7 is what exactly?? I really need this addon to work!!!

[milobloom]

Zen Cart 1.3.7.1
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7.1

Its just the previous release of Zen Cart.
I am not a programmer so I cannot figure out why its not working in the newest version.

I just got mine to work. Mind you I am working from a fresh install.

Lets work things out togeather and keep the thread going okay?
2 Minds will work better then 1....

[cheapmanuals]

OH WELL!! That is what I was afraid you were going to tell me!! I have my site the way I want it with quite a few addons so backtracking to 1.3.7 is not really an option for me. Thank you for the info.

[milobloom]

Yeam well if you find a fix for the new version, please let us know.

I see no new mods to the newest version that is essential for what I need to do so I think Ill just stick to it....

The module for v1.3.8 is available at:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=563

I tried it out and it seems fine, although I still have the template problem I mentioned before.
