MultiSite Module Support Thread

hhmmm.....it is showing.

What I meant to say is, if I'm on site one, then site two link shows in the side box.

if I'm on site two, then site one link shows in the side box.

Site one link doesn't show in the sidebox on site one. Site two link doesn't show in the sidebox on site two.



Anyway it's working LOL

Yes, that's the way it works...

I've been reading through the thread and so far haven't come across a solution to my new problem which is with the cart.

The site links are supposed to enable cross site cart but it's not working.

I put something in the cart and then go to the second site and the item isn't brought along in the cart because the cart on the second site is empty. When I go back to the first site the item is still in the cart.

Cross selling is for products/categories not for shopper carts

Products/categories can be included/excluded in each shop NOT in customer carts as I understand

Kobra, the multisite mod actually does allow for cross selling to take place across the various linked sites.

buildingblocks, this only works if you move between the sites by clicking on the linked site in the partners sidebox.

You can see this working on www dot opticsonline dot co dot za, Add something to your cart, click on a partner site in the lefthand sidebox and the product will be carried over.

I stand corrected...

It's not working for me that way.

I add an item to the cart on site1, click on the link in the partner sidebox and when site2 loads, the cart (I enabled to always show in the sidebox) is empty. I click on the [more] link just to be sure and yes the cart is empty.

The item in the cart from site1 is not carrying over in the cart to site2.

I did the reverse and added an item to the cart on site2 and went to site1 and the same thing happens.

Ok I found the problem.

To allow cross site cart we need to add our site links to the file site_links.php which I did, but I didn't realize the zenid is also needed at the end of my site links. I added the zenid and the cart brings the item along when going to another store.

You don't have to add that, it is generated automatically (it is different for every session and every person). Check your configurations, there should be something wrong. Or maybe on that same file of site_links check if you deleted something by error while fixing the other issue (a comma, an apostrophe, etc.) or maybe get a new clean copy to add your links again.

this same problem was encountered back in post 319

then

post 322

mentions to add it (unless I misinterpreted it)

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...=63997&page=33

ideagirls, you say no

So I tried undoing something I did yesterday when I followed these directions.

http://www.medea.co.uk/dev/multisite...tions_0.4.html

"By adding false as third parameter (false), it won't add the zenid to the link."

I had added 'false' because I didn't like the long url, but not realizing it would affect the functioning of the cart.

I just went and removed the zenid and 'false' from the file site_links.php and now the cart still works. So it was 'false' that was doing it.

HMMM. Wonder what I'm going to shoot myself in the foot with next? LOL


thanks again ideasgirl
