MultiSite Module Support Thread

delia:

Ran into an unexpected problem. On the multi site, one is for wholesale customers and one is for retail. No matter which site the person uses, if they are wholesale, they will get the wholesale prices. But on the retail site, there is a shipping method for free shipping. Most wholesalers are unaware that there is a retail site but someone figured it out and checked out on the retail and got free shipping with his wholesale prices. I would think that there should be a way to keep that from happening but can't think what. Anyone got any ideas?

The problem is that the multi site mod doesn't know for which site a shopping cart or customer is. So at the moment there is little that can be done, that I know of. May be with some custom coding, but no quick fix I am afraid.

did figure it to be custom - was hoping someone else had run into to something similar.

I did, and mad a complete new mod (not to be mentioned here).
For the current mod you could add a site id to the cart and customers tables to make them unique, and alter the queries for the cart, account creation etc.

yep, know but client wont'

Thanks this helped.

I am sure the answer is in here somewhere, but unfortunately I am extremely pressed for time, so maybe someone could just point me in the right direction.

I am running 2 sites, af-company.com and canada.af-company.com

I am setting up my payment module and using the config_sites I am adding my different settings to process the 2 sites, everything is fantastic so far. Where I'm running into problems is in the approved and declined URL's. I have the it currently set to
http://af-company.com/cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_process
which works beautifully for my American site.
However for the Canadian, I assumed I would need to use
http://canada.af-company.com/cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_process
but that gives me a File not Found error. If I used the other one, it takes me to the American site.

I put a copy of the file /public_html/includes/modules/checkout_process.php into my Canadian template so it is also located at
/public_html/includes/modules/canadiantemplate/checkout_process.php
but apparently that didn't help.

Could someone pretty please let me know what my URL is supposed to be or where I need to put a file.

Hello marge, are you sure the address is html http://canada.af-company.com/cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_process and not ```html
http://canada.af-company.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_process

Actually don't worry about it. Apparently a quick clear of the cache and everything is working now. Wow, I'm not always sure what planet I'm working on.

Thanks Design75, It was actually a bad post job on my part. I didn't have the /cart actually in there, I had already edited it out. Very long day apparently.

No problem :smile:. Glad you got it fixed

This may not be desirable but there is code or an option (I've seen it on another thread and used to use it myself) that will empty your shopping cart on logout or login. This would be one way of preventing customers from mixing your sites.

will it work with zencart version 1.55b ?
any reply will be highly appreciated thanks for your time.

I am trying to multi site add on zencart version 1.55b getting some problems with following files it will disappears side boxes and template wont show the colors.

I have not tried it yet, but I see no reason why it would not. You may need to do some careful merging of files, since the supplied files are from Zen Cart v 1.5.1

It is hard to tell what went wrong, without access to your files, but I suspect you did not merge the files the right way. The file you mentioned have not changed much since 1.5.1.

hi I just replaced these files did not merge at all can you tell me what are the modifications you done in these files so I will open same files from v1.55b and modify them manually I believe that can help lot thanks for your time.

All changes should be marked with comments like '// bof Multi site' and '// eof Multi site'> NewPowerCord:
