stuff4Toys,
Regarding your second post. I just tested out the meta_tags.php override and it's working fine on my sites. For a test, try setting the HOME_PAGE variables specifically and see if they change your homepage title/description/keywords.
HOME_PAGE_TITLE
HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION
HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS
Tried that, am I missing something?

 
// page title
define('TITLE', 'Americas Flags');
// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'American Flags, US Flags, State Flags, Internetionsl Flags');
// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'American Flags, US Flags, State Flags, Internetionsl Flags');
// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', 'High Quality Flags Made in the USA');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', 'American flag, Nylon Flag, Polyester Flag, Cotton Flag');
  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'Americas Flags'); // usually best left blank

xstore/includes/languages/english/liberty-flag.com/meta_tags.php
 
Is this correct?
JOhn ><>

and the location of the meta_tags.php is:
xstore/includes/languages/english/liberty-flag.com/meta_tags.php

Is this correct?

I suppose that depends on what you named your template. Is the template path: includes/templates/liberty-flag.com ?

Even if your override isn't working properly your includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php file should be working, but your site had a blank title when I looked. If you delete your override meta_tags.php does the default meta load?

Thanks Again

Posted via Mobile DeviceIn a perfect world all that you want can be done without 2 databases and the effort of copying the tables back and forth.

Don't ask me how, because I am just learning how this all works, but I know that from what I have read trawling through this thread you can set it up so that when a customer goes from one site to the next, you drop the zenid or something. I think I even read that you can use the Multi-Site Sidebox that lists all of your sites and still not carry your cart from one site to the next.

Now all you have to do is read through 7x pages of this thread and Have Fun. :cool:

I'm really stuck here, and compounding errors with errors trying to track this down. I cannot get my catalogue to show at all, there appears to be no connection between the catalogue and the index page. or any other page not in admin. I have tried all the fixes related to this problem suggested in this thread, but no effect.

I have messed around with path settings in config.php files, sites_switch.php and site_config.php, but cannot crack it.

Now is the day that I release the EZPages Filter.

Sadly I haven't made the admin tool "release-ready".

Attachment #2504

Sent a PM but should asked here. Streetglow, did you ever finish the admin tool for your EZPages filter? Also, how do you use the filter after installation? Thanks in advance for any response.

I have a problem with the Recover Cart mod and multi-sites. (I asked in the Recover Cart support thread but got no love.) I got multi-sites up and running great with two sites, then I added the Recover Cart mod. Multi-sites are still working properly, but the Recover Cart only recognizes the main (first) site. That is, the Recover Cart email templates and admin refer all shopping cart abandoners back to the shopping cart on the main site, even though they may have placed their items in the shopping cart on an alternate site.

Is anyone using the Recover Cart mod with multi-sites? Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone i'm new to Zen Cart and am loving it so far! I have just installed the multi-site module and created 8 sites. This works briliantly allowing me to define products to only be seen on a particular site. I do however have a problem...

Is there any way to stop the new products module from displaying all products from all sites? At the moment i have new products set to display on afront pages of all 8 sites. The trouble is that every product shows in the new products module regardless of which site it is assigned to.

What i would really like to do is only display new products that belong to a particular site on that sites front page.

Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there this is a great module and I just wanted to say thanks for it.

I think im pretty much there but my second site is not receiving any content to show, and also doest get the menu or a side box.

I have added all categories to both sites, and the 1st site works very well, its just the second doesnt seem to get past loading the background image.

I have taken a screenshot which im sure some guru will look at it and say you have forgetton to do x, and it will all be solved. (or at least thats what im hoping for).

I have half sorted it out, after making a stupid mistake, I didn't upload the correct /languages/english/html_includes/cws files.

I am now getting the main page text but its not being formatted by the css, and is all starting from the left border of the background image.

I get a few produces listed on the screen, but no images are coming up for them, and still no side box.

I've searched quickly through this thread and can't find what I need so I'm going to post what I think is probably a common question.
I have multiple sites set up using sub-domains and forwarders. (chs.1ststreet.com, sjcs.1ststreet.com, etc.) and they all forward to 1ststreet.com/zen. I've got everything installed and I can edit the templates separately (I think) but it's like it's not switching sites when it comes in. Am I doing something wrong in my forwarding?

Sorry if I didn't look harder through the thread, I've got about three days to get this set up and ready to go before literature goes out with those web addresses.

Take a look at the way cat_filter is used in multi-site. I think if you added this to the new products module you'd be in good shape.

I am having a problem using this mod, i have set up several categories that are per site.

In each sites config file i have set CATEGORIES_ROOT to display the categories for each site. It seems to just display all categories regardless. When i comment out CATEGORIES_ROOT, i get the sql error so it is being read and used. Any ideas?

jvoce:

For those using the Apple Zen Template or the CSS dropdown menu here's how to make it compatable:

File: includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php
Line: 57
Change From: $categories = $db->Execute($categories_query);
Change To: $categories = $db->Execute(cat_filter/COLOR[COLOR="red"]);

Anyways, hope this helps someone.
:clap:

Hi I have set this up using two different apple_Zen templates and the whole drop down bar has now disappeared on both sites. I have changed the line above. But still no Joy . is there anything else to try ?

Thanks.

Just to update my previous post , the Categories Appears and Dissapears depending on the categories_Description.

If I remove all of the entryies from the descriptions then No categories appear on each site .... BUT .. The Drop down Bar appears .

As soon as I add the sites to which Categories should appear on them , the Drop down bar vanishes.

Any help appreciated as I am demoing it to client very soon.

On a separate issue , I cant login as a customer either , not sure if this is Template / module or just Zen issues ! I just get a blank Page.

THANKS

I'm trying to give one of the sites a custom sort order on the sideboxes (including a butting the categories lower on the sort order). Please, How can I give a single site a different sort order of the sideboxes than the one that is applied to all sites via the admin>layout boxes controller? Is there a file change in the new site templates that I cna alter to change the display order of the side boxes?

Druid,

All you have to do is create a folder for a particular site (site1, site2, etc) here includes/modules/sideboxes ( includes/modules/sideboxes/site1, includes/modules/sideboxes/site2) and copy the sidebox files into it. Then you can define them anyway that you want. At least that's what's working on my installation. I can turn them off & change the location for each site.

is it possilbe to generate sales reports per site?

for instance if i had the domain

dave.mysite.com
john.mysite.com
tim.mysite.com

all linking to the smae db and having the smae products would it be possible to workout what products were sold on each domain?

if this is the wrong module for this then i am sorry but would be greatful if you could point me in the right direction.
