MultiSite Module Support Thread

[fotofx]

I love the module and use it often. I have used it on VERY heavily modified carts. The documentation is horrible and the only support are a few of us that hang around here.

Is this the list of what needs to be done - http://www.medea.co.uk/dev/multisite...ions_0.4.html?

and manual steps are in install.txt?

Thanks,

Yes but not really a good explanation of what has to be done. Step 4 is what seems to give everyone the most trouble.

Read back over this thread BEFORE you start (I know there are allot of pages) and it may save you allot of aggravation later.

Thanks for the input. Can you give me heads up which are the most important things to look at?

Being the original author seems to have abandoned this wonderful module. I expect to have a little time during the holidays and am going to try and create a bit more detailed set of install docs (STEP BY STEP) I intend to do the install on a clean Zen Cart and include the config site files with all default possible overrides.

If anyone has any additional suggestions please let me know.


P.S. My time is usually very limited and that is about as far as I can go with this. I try and pop in time to time and help as much as I can but it would be great if the original author or some other interested party would take over this mod.

A suggestion would be to set up a demo were you can see the multi sites interacting together.

Sorry to reask but. What are the main things to be aware of?
As I see the following needs to be done:
1. Alter db tables
2. Add new files
3. Change existing files. There are about 30 places where this needs to be done. Is it fairly east process?

How many of you had big problems after installing the mod?

As stated... The main things to watch for are that the docs are horrible.. There is little to no instruction on how to create the config files properly. That is what messes up most people. Read the threads and most of your questions will be answered.

If you come up with another problem during install you can post and someone should be able to help you.

Too many possibilities to cover in your case especially since you are doing edits to already modded files.

Many times the expected code is no longer present in a file that has already be edited by other mods. This could make it difficult to know what should be changed.

OK. I started messing around and added new files without modification of any yet. As soon as I added new files the site looks different - looks like new template has been picked up. How do I configure to have my template to be used?

Thanks.

[TheGuest]

it looks like init_templates.php file is responsible for this. However, I dont understand why it had to change if I simply added new files.
