MultiSite Module Support Thread

Email?

How can I set this up to send through different email accounts and have the email reflect the proper store name. When I send out emails they always have the name of the main site in the from box even though I set up the separate config files with the different setting in each. :dontgetit

Help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi guys, I have a single domain, but would like to use i guess a subdomain for the wholesalers, Is that possible with this addon?

I've been reading through it and it seems to all want 2 domains on the same site? So does the subdomain have to point to the root directory? How else does it use the same zen cart?

Thanks for any help with this, it looks like an awesome mod, just trying to work out how it does its magic!

As this shares a single database - there is only one set of prices
You might search for other methods for wholesale

The wholesale price stuff is already sorted its more about using this to only display certain catagories for people who come from the wholesale side...

If you know of a better mod I should be using I am all ears :)

Chris

to explain our situation

I have 3 domains

https://www.cushietushies.com.au
wholesale.cushietushies.com.au
consultant.cushietushies.com.au

They are all on the same server using the same zen cart and database.

I want to customise the 3 entry points with a custom main_page_define which seems simple enough using the templates.

The plan is Install the mod, make custom main pages for the 3 logins and set what catagories are available to each of the logins.

So am I taking the right approach with the mod? Or should i go a different way?

k I think I have it setup to work with using one template for https://www.cushietushies.com.au and another template for wholesale.cushietushies.com.au.

The problem I am having is I have it all up on a test site https://www.cushietushies.com.au/test/zen and they automatically brings it back to https://www.cushietushies.com.au.

So my question is, how could i set it up to point to the test site? and why would it go to the base level?

Thanks Moto, I'll have a go at that. I guess it's just a matter of inserting the cat_filter code into new products module. I will of course have to do this for specials,, featured and upcoming products too. I can't believe no-one has created a module to do this before now. Again, thanks for the pointer, i'll post back and let you know how i got on.

I suppose that depends on what you named your template.

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?Well, here we go again. I have tried all that you suggested and including deleting the templates meta_tags.php and it is still not displaying page title, description or keywords.

Is there possibly some issues with my template names including the ".com"? Like domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com?

I need to put MultiSite up tonight, but have not resolved this issue.

Every other template specific mod is working correctly, not the meta_tags.php.
It's getting my custom index.php and header.php in the same folder.

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.

Hi is anyone using this mod with the Apple_Zen templates and got it working ? any pointers appreciated.

Stuff4Toys,
At this point I would probably echo out what is being included to find out what is happening. Doesn't sound like the problem you are having is a simple misconfiguration.

Find your includes/languages/<template>/english.php

find the:

  if (file_exists(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . $template_dir . '/meta_tags.php')) {
    $template_dir_select = $template_dir . '/';
  } else {
    $template_dir_select = '';
  }
  require_once(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . $template_dir_select . 'meta_tags.php');

Then echo out the path it's trying to include and see if that tells you what's going wrong:
echo DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . $template_dir_select . 'meta_tags.php';

If that's not helping then I would probably locate the place where the meta data is being inserted into the page, I believe it's common/html_header.php, and find out what's going wrong there.

Good luck

Hi Guys

im going round in circles here i have 2 sub domains with 2 shops and one admin pannel. everything is fine apart from the product images.

It only uploads once (to the first site).

This means if i do a redirect on the second sites images folder the image sizes are all messed up. So i either need a way to fix this or a way to uplaod 2 images one to each folder.

thanks for your help

Tried that and the path is absolutely correct.
includes/languages/english/liberty-flag.com/meta_tags.php

Is it possibly a config error in the includes/configure.php

 
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.liberty-flag.com/xstore');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.liberty-flag.com/xstore');
  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');
// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/xstore/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/xstore/');

then in the www.liberty-flag.com_config.php

 
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.liberty-flag.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.liberty-flag.com');
```if I add the /xstore it cannot find the stylesheets

I have a problem at checkout- when the customer clicks on the confirm order link they get this

1054 Unknown column 'order_site' in 'field list'
in:
[INSERT INTO orders (customers_id, customers_name, customers_company, customers_street_address, customers_suburb, customers_city, customers_postcode, customers_state, customers_country, customers_telephone, customers_email_address, customers_address_format_id, delivery_name, delivery_company, delivery_street_address, delivery_suburb, delivery_city, delivery_postcode, delivery_state, delivery_country, delivery_address_format_id, billing_name, billing_company, billing_street_address, billing_suburb, billing_city, billing_postcode, billing_state, billing_country, billing_address_format_id, payment_method, payment_module_code, shipping_method, shipping_module_code, coupon_code, cc_type, cc_owner, cc_number, cc_expires, date_purchased, orders_status, order_total, order_tax, currency, currency_value, ip_address, order_site) VALUES ('194', 'test testing', '', '12345 testing lane', '', 'testing', '48310', 'Michigan', 'United States', '1234567890', '[email protected]', '2', 'test testing', '', '12345 testing lane', '', 'testing', '48310', 'Michigan', 'United States', '2', 'test testing', '', '12345 testing lane', '', 'testing', '48310', 'Michigan', 'United States', '2', 'Credit Card', 'cc', 'FREE SHIPPING!

everything else with this module is working great.
Please help!!!!
Thanks

:oops: it helps to run on the DB : ALTER TABLE orders ADD order_site varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'no';

Has anyone used the Multisite module on bluehost.com. Right now I have had my site hosted by them for 6 months, but need to know if I should renew.

Thanks

I installed MultiSite tonight and so far it's looking pretty awesome. If I can get a few things ironed out, it's going to be exactly what I need. Here is what I have done so far.

I have three sites running under MultiSite. Each one will go to where it's supposed to when you go to their individual URLs.

What I need help with is that ALL the categories show up on all three sites. I tried adding the <!--www.mysite.com--> to the category description (I did name them the URL name (and not mysite.com) but didn't put it here because I wasn't sure of the board rules.)

I also tried the "define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','21'); //root categories is 21 for this site" line in the site's config, with the category number that I wanted displayed.

Shouldn't the categories show up empty until you configure it to show something?

It's 3am here and my brain is fried! Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

:blink:

I found it!

define('ALLOW_CAT_FILTER','no'); //Desactivate the cat_filter for a site (with the 'no" changed to 'yes') put in the site's config.

Somtimes you can look at something so many times and it just doesn't click! I guess it was somthing that a few hours sleep couldn't help with!

Can some one send me a message on this. I have searched the site and the thread but can't find anything that would help me out. I have tried some suggestion I found in this thread but was unable to get it.

I am having problems with the shared SSL certs. I have tried to install it with zencart and multisite addon and it would not work. But without the multisite it would work. I think it has to do something with pointing the shared SSL to your site but its doesnt seem to be looking for say siteA.com but sharedssl.com. I tried adding the shardssl.com to the config sites folder but then the SSL only work when i use the link sharedssl.com and when i tried siteA.com it would not work. I have been looking in the code but not sure where or what to add in. please help thanks you.

I'm pretty sure you need a separate SSL for each domain. Shared SSL won't work. If you have a lot of sites running the same cart, you might consider getting a wildcard SSL that works on all your domains.
