Multi-Site Module...

Hi,

I have two web addresses that I would like to use the same cart for i.e. I want the front pages to be separate but the products and stock etc are from the same admin source.....is this what this module can do for me?

Cheers,
Neil

Hi neilg!

This is the mod for you! It does just that: Different store fronts, one admin and the ability to share product catalog.

Good Luck!

Cool...thanks Beez!

Actually...I do have another question. I have a lot of mods in my store and run a different template.....do you think this could have any impact on installing this module??

Cheers,
Neil

It shouldnt In some situations you may need to modify a file or two to do the proper category filtering and such but I have had no compatibility issues with multisite

Hi Breeze,

I have question about linked products. Your code from post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=478494&postcount=58 not working.
You have

if ($str_pos_p2c!==false) { 

but from post by Lenny is

if ($str_pos_p2c!=true) { 

and without error.

Is good this in file catalog/includes/functions/extra_functions/cat_filter.php?

around line 15 replace

$str_pos_products = strpos($sql_lower,TABLE_PRODUCTS . ' p');  

with

$str_pos_products = strpos($sql_lower,TABLE_PRODUCTS . ' p');
$str_pos_p2c = strpos($sql_lower,TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . ' p2c');

around line 91 replace

$sql = substr($sql,0,$add_pos).
				" INNER JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
	  			ON (p.master_categories_id = cd.categories_id
	  			AND cd.language_id=".$_SESSION['languages_id']."
	  			AND cd.categories_description LIKE '%-".SITE_NAME."-%') ".
				substr($sql,$add_pos);

with:

if ($str_pos_p2c!=true) {

         $sql = substr($sql,0,$add_pos).
                               " INNER JOIN ".TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES." p2c ON (p2c.products_id=p.products_id)
                               INNER JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
                               ON (p2c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
                               AND cd.language_id=".$_SESSION['languages_id']."
                               AND cd.categories_description LIKE '%-".SITE_NAME."-%') ".
                               substr($sql,$add_pos);
         } else {
         $sql = substr($sql,0,$add_pos).
                               " INNER JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
                               ON (p.master_categories_id = cd.categories_id
                               AND cd.language_id=".$_SESSION['languages_id']."
                               AND cd.categories_description LIKE '%-".SITE_NAME."-%') ".
                               substr($sql,$add_pos);  
         } 

!!!!! or with !!!!!

if ($str_pos_p2c!==false) {
	        		$sql = substr($sql,0,$add_pos). 
				" INNER JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
				ON (p2c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
				AND cd.language_id=".$_SESSION['languages_id']."
				AND cd.categories_description LIKE '%-".SITE_NAME."-%') ".
				substr($sql,$add_pos);
	 } else { 
				$sql = substr($sql,0,$add_pos).
				" INNER JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
				ON (p.master_categories_id = cd.categories_id
				AND cd.language_id=".$_SESSION['languages_id']."
				AND cd.categories_description LIKE '%-".SITE_NAME."-%') ".
				substr($sql,$add_pos);
	 } 

Work this patch?

This thread is related to this one:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36709&goto=newpost

Test shops are running on these addresses:

http://bigdepot.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://pressit.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://medea.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://lightscribe.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://inkrite.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://infiniti.bigdepot.co.uk/
http://scratchlessdisc.bigdepot.co.uk/

All these shops are running from the same zen cart, there is a filter that only display some categories in some shops and not in other. medea.bigdepot.co.uk and bigdepot.bigdepot.co.uk have all the categories since they are "main websites..." the others only contain subproduct.

These sites are still "test servers" so please so please don't buy things from there.

An account created on a shop works on all the other shop. When you click on the link in Partner, it keep the same session when you go in a different site. It means, you can buy products from different website in the same cart.

These are test shops as I'll write the Multi-Site Module shortly.

PS: You can buy the product from the test shop on this site: http://www.medea.co.uk/buy/
Hi Gerome,
I have been lurking in the zen cart forums frantically searching to a solution to a problem when I ran across your post. Where do you stand on this project as of today?
