MultiSite Module Support Thread

[britneycook]

Hi Zen Doods
Ive been struggling with the order of specials, featured & New Products on the index page.

I have 9 websites in my multisite and the default order for all of them is:
1. Featured Products
2. Special Products
3. New Products
4. Upcoming Products

Which is perfect for 8 of my sites. However, for one of my sites i would like to swap the specials & featured products around so that Specials is top. I have Copied the Code below into the sites _config file, but it doesnt seem to overide the default?

As Below:

define('SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_NEW_PRODUCTS','3'); //Show New Products on Main Page
define('SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATURED_PRODUCTS','2'); //Show Featured Products on Main Page
define('SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS','1); //Show Special Products on Main Page
define('SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_UPCOMING','4'); //Show Upcoming Products on Main Page

Im wondering if it has something to do with the tpl_index_default.php file?

Any thoughts on how to get around this?

Are you trying to install a template to standard ZenCart or attempting to install a template to a zencart with multisite mod installed?

OK - I've been reading the entire thread, and site and now have to ask, since I'm not sure if this mod is right for what I'm trying - or - if there's a much easier way to skin the cat. (literally!)

I have one site: DisasterSupplyCatalog.com and it's all clean and nice looking... great for Mom, Dad, Corporate, etc.

But I also have the URL for Zombie-Survival-Supplies.com - for the edgy, end-of-days types and people having a more fun side to their disasters. The template ideas I have in mind are darker, more comedic, zombie-esque.

Same company, same payment gateways - not trying to hide anything... I just want the template skins to change depending on the way they came into the site. AND stay that way until they leave.

Are we talking sub-domain 'zombie.DSC.com' ? or ?!? Any ideas? I'm flummoxed.

Thanks, and have fun.

Hi all I just downloaded multisite module 0-4-2V. I can't figure out which files I have to upload to site 1 and site 2. The install file is just saying replacing code and lines. is there a link anywhere that I can find a full installing guide for this mod?

2) I have 2 domain names already running on 2 different databases and different IP addressed. I want to just the same database for both domains but have different layout settings for each site. Does that mod allow you to use different layouts?

this would be perfect I think for that.. the reason being is that all orders go into the same database. yet the store are different.
this is the coolest addon..

THIS IS A LLINK TO THE Manual
I have no idea why it wasn't added to the addon..
http://www.thisdomain.net/dev/
that is a real link.

and follow that closely.. step by step..
then
the question I have to ask is is your hosting linux base or windows.

if it is linux.. search this forum for how to setup a addon domain.
it is in this forum..
this whole thing took me a while to figure out but once I did it was well worth it.
if you have any question.. I will try to get back to help.

change it you the name of the template you want to change.to to tools.
select the template you want to change..
made sure the correct boxes are in the correct template.
the look and feel is driven by the template.

I found this while merging the contents of the files very carefully, I'm not sure how major this is but it's definitely not right:

includes/functions/functions_categories.php

old line: if ($parent_categories->fields['parent_id'] !=0 && !$in_cat) {

new line: if ($parent_categories->fields['parent_id'] !=0 && !$incat) {

NOTE: the use of in_cat and incat??? possible bug here!

This is a code error!!! it's a variable in_cat is correct.

I haven't completed the file merge and install just yet, i'll continue to post any bugs i find!

Twitch.

I appreciate the comment Noppie, im afraid i struggled to make sense of it.
Im assuming your making reference to the sideboxes governed by each template? (TOOLS - LAYOUT BOXES CONTROLLER)

I think my question was referring to the changes made to the default under
CONFIGURATION - INDEX LISTING

Show New Products on Main Page 3
Show Featured Products on Main Page 1
Show Special Products on Main Page 2
Show Upcoming Products on Main Page 4

which i didn't think had anything to do with the template. Could you Clarify perhaps?
