MultiSite Module Support Thread

[blackhalo]

Hi guys, I'm about to dig into this multi-site mod...
I just have a few questions I couldn't find answers for by searching:

1) Is there a way to distinguish which orders came from which stores?

I'm asking partially from an IRS/tax perspective, but also simply from a tracking perspective...
how can you track your sales from one store to the next? How do you identify which domain a sale came from?
If everything is lumped into one big pile, how do you know what your business is doing?

2) How is Paypal Website Payments Pro (enter credit card on site) affected by a multi-domain setup?

I already have an established ZenCart site, which complicates things a little...
I'm uncertain how to proceed with this multi-site mod when it comes to dealing with Paypal's WPP service.

3) Since I intend to use multiple unique domains, I assume I'll need multiple SSL certificates for the checkouts... or do I?

Anyway, appreciate any insight...
I'm 90% motivated to start working on this project, but the support thread itself is quite daunting...
I'm really just trying to uncover any surprises BEFORE I start, I can't afford major downtime.

Thank you!

Hi all,

I used this pack to filter out ezpages and got stuck -> http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...999#post855999

If anybody can help me out I'd appreciate it very much!

Has anybody tested this?
It look like filter for ezpages is alredy there...

I'm not sure just how to do this, the documentation is not very clear. I have a site, lets call it "Gallery" and it is www.Gallery.com. My zencart install is a subdirectory called 'store1'. Does the subdirectory 'store1' need to be a subdomain? Note: I'm running on a LAMP system.

Is the "new admin tool" to be loaded over the "Beta 0.4.1" version or is it included in the download, or superseded by the "Beta 0.4.1"?

I'm not clear on some things. What I want to do create a set of stores all being driven off of the same database. Do I need to create a main store and then store_paintings and store_etchings or just the stores store_paintings and store_etchings?

Next ,

I've setup two subdomain names and I put the main zen-cart install in a folder called store. So what would be the URL be for the stores?
www.domainname.com or www.store_paintings.domainname.com?

Please help.

I've downloaded the latest version of the mod and installed it at my site http://laptopbatteryfuel.com/ . I am having a problem with not getting any subcategories to display . If you look on the left you will see one category (Acer) has one subcat which in turn has one product. I cannot seem to drill down and see the subcat or the product.

Thanks in advance for any help. Been working on this for awhile and not making any progress.

OK, silly question time. I've installed the mutisite and I can see my main store just fine, now how do I get to the other stores I have two subdomains, autographs & moviemem.

Read one of my previous posts here:

You'll find the answer right there.

here is my www.moviemem.dejavugallery.com_config.php

<?php
define('SITE_NAME','Movie Memerablia');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
$template_dir = "memorablia";
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','2'); //root categories is 2 for this site
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.moviemem.dejavugallery.com/galleryStore');
?>

As you can see, it is much like your examples (which I've been using). I still only see my main site when I enter the URL www.dejavugallery.com/galleryStore.

Where is ZenCart installed?
What subdomains do you have?
What do you want to do?
