Hello Gerome,

See how much your host charges for a dedicated IP...

I have one site set up as http://humanresources.actionforms.ca/cart/
and under there I have 2 categories set up "Canada" and "United States".

I need to link those productions to a different Category on a different site:
http://transportation.actionforms.ca/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=236
under the category of "Human Resources" with sub categories of "Canada" and "United States".

It is showing in admin as linked, but the products are not displaying in the transportation.actionforms.ca site (there is one product showing, but it is not linked"

Any ideas?

I have now multisite module installed. I have even created config files for all the 4 domains. Now i wanna ask how will i edit sideboxes for every domain in multisite module. If i remove a sidebox will it be removed from all the 4 domains.

SO I LOVE this mod...

I'm having a head scratcher with one feature: When I try and set

define('SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATURED_PRODUCTS','0'); //Show Featured Products on Main Page

on one site in the config_sites, it doesn't work. featured products continue to show. This should turn it off for the one site should it not? The other overrides (at least few I have) in config sites seem to work.

As a followup, NONE of the settings for INDEX LISTING work from the config sites. Anyone with ideas?

Hi all,

I am testing this mod for a new site and have it working with three shared sites. New install on 1.3.8.

The way I read the docs, the shopping cart should NOT be shared by default.

My cart is being shared, which will not work for my needs.

Any ideas?

The test site is here:
http://werdna.catplaques.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=a83bca671b13e3ec9b703e205e1e06d9

If you begin an order with Store1, close Store1, and go to Store2, the previous cart appears when you login to Store2.

Please feel free to test and login. user=[email protected] pw=demo1

Thanks,
Jeff

**Fix Multisite Module **

I have multisite module installed with 5 fronts. Everything is working fine except for the cat_filter. I had categories and they are not filtered to their respective fronts. Somebody please asap solve this problem for me. I have posted this project on Rentacoder. So anybody experienced with multisite please post a bid on RAC and get paid for this job.

Hi,

I have been reviewing zen cart for use on my first site but there was one feature lacking which the multisite mod may be able to address but I'm not sure.
I want to create a site on a single url that has two shopping carts. I have two separate lists of products, each of which would link to its own shopping cart. They would operate as two separate sites except:
1- the user login would be shared; and
2- it would be possible to view the contents of each basket and checkout separately.

Do you think multisite could be used to achieve this?

Regards, Habib

Habib,

You say 2 separate lists of products. Does that mean 2 store fronts? It sounds like you only want to share the customer file.

If that's what you want, here is something you can try, without using the MultiSite Module.

Create 2 zen installs in 2 folders like https://www.mysite.com/store1 and https://www.mysite.com/store2

Create the tables for each site in the same database. Use a different prefix for each (like store1 & store2).

Edit store2/includes/database_files.php. Find the 2 lines

define('TABLE_CUSTOMERS', DB_PREFIX . 'customers');
define('TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO', DB_PREFIX . 'customers_info');
```and change to
```html
define('TABLE_CUSTOMERS',  'store1_customers');
define('TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO', 'store1_customers_info');

Both sites will then use the same customer info and can log into either with the same ID. Everything else will be like 2 stores.

It is important to keep a note of this change as this file cannot use the override system (from what I have been able to see:unsure:) and you are changing a core file.

Disclaimer::lamo:
I am currently testing this and so far find no issues.
While I have been a programmer for 25 years, I am new to ZenCart, php and SQL.

Ok I am still having this problem. I posted it earlier and found a temp fix, but the fix won't work this time around.

I have multiple sites.

I have products listed in my transportation.actionforms.ca site under the Miscellaneous category.

I want to link some of those products (the first 3 to be exact) to another site, business.actionforms.ca under Canada -> Tags

When I do it, the products are showing as linked and active in admin, but don't actually display on the site.

Any help would be appreciated

Okay... Somewhat up and running - where do metatags hide for these things? I'm seeing the primary stuff for the overall site... (being a little ambitious - I'm going to have about 15 "similar" stores pointed at one product set).

Hi

I know quite a bit about zencart but have a problem which seems to be repeated all over this forum but all have different answers.

I have 2 sites and made it easy buy upgrading both sites to the same version and added multisite.

I have https://www.yframediscounts.com which I want to use to control my othersite https://www.kidsonthemove.co.uk

I have set up everything on https://www.yframediscounts.com includin the templates and categories etc

so how do I get my site https://www.kidsonthemove.co.uk to point to https://www.yframediscounts.com and show up correctly, I tried to change the configure.php with no luck as it point to the new template ok but no products show up?

Please help as 5 days now and still stuck.

Thanks for any replies.

Paul

I have followed the instructions given and I am getting the following error.
1054 Unknown column 'CATEGORIES_ROOT' in 'where clause'
in:
[select cd.categories_name from categories c, categories_description cd where cd.categories_description LIKE '%-SITE_NAME-%' AND cd.language_id=1 AND c.parent_id = CATEGORIES_ROOT and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='1' and c.categories_status=1]

any ideas on how to fix this pleas.e

I'm still figuring the stuff out myself. I set up a domain in a dedicated IP. I then went to the DNS configuration for all the -other- domains, and changed them to point to the dedicated IP. Won't work if you don't do that.

I'm now trying to figure out why I can't get banners to show...

You know, the thing I hate about "support threads" is that they're so linear.

Took me a while to figure that you changed the look of a web site only by selecting its template to mod...

Argh.

I've noticed page after page after page after page of questions posted with absolutely NO answers or responses from anyone, including the developer of this mod whom I have PM'd asking for help with no response. Unless someone with a modicum of php skill has gotten this thing to work and is willing to pick up the reigns, I'd say it's a dead issue.:no:

Don't believe me? Start at post # 1 and click on through to this one before you try to slap me.

I'm only saying this cause I'm hoping someone will take ownership and actually start answering some questions.

It isn't wrong to dream, right?:P

Well, I've been sorta geeking on it, and I suspect I'll get there...

https://www.biotechposter.com
https://www.acrobatposter.com
and a bunch others... Right now beating on some ezpages and sidebar stuff, then it's time for individual banners/colors, and the it's time for a bit of google...

I have noticed though, that just about all of the efforts put forth have been from folks like bogie and Jeff G, who haven't been around that long. I applaud you guys:clap:! I don't know a thing about coding, so I can't offer any help there at all. I'm more of a motivator, ask the right questions, gather info and intel, etc., kinda guy. I'd love to be able to use this mod myself, but can't get the thing to work, so I've been sneaking around the shadows waiting for someone to shout ureaka.:D

Anyway, You guys keep up the effort. You're doing good, and what you're doing is what this forum is all about. BRAVO!
