MultiSite Module Support Thread

Hi all.. Have managed to fix this FINALLY! If anyone else finds the same challenge, turns out the problem was with the naming of the template file rather than Multisite.

previously i was naming the template with all lowercase

$template_name = 'lingerie';

and REPLACED it with the following:

$template_name = 'Lingerie';

PROBLEM:
1- When searching the website for anything i get "There is no product that matches the search criteria."
2 - click on the "All Products", "Specials" and "New Products" tabs i get a message - More new products will be added soon. Please check back later.

There are 700 products uploaded via Easy populate.

Any help would be HUGELLY appreciated! Im so lost!

ive installed a brand spankers zen cart 1.3.9g and have also copied all the files for the multisite and altered the templates as required. Ive added the template name to the category the categories do display on the sidebox.

the site is lingerienz.co.nz for reference.

Did anybody figure out how to make this module work with CJ Loader???

I need some help. I did everything it say's here http://www. thisdomain.net/dev/multisite_instructions_4.0.html

and then I pulled this as a 2nd site http://www.mgs-test.com and nothing isn't pulling it. What am I doing wrong?

ok, I got the subdomain running at http://marchforbabies.morrisgiftshop.biz the problem is click on the link but its trying to pull the links from the main domain instead of the sub-domain name. How can I fix this?

Hi All,

I have two zencarts i have added to a couple of domain names to try the multi site module.

The problem i am having is that one site looks fine, but the site i have added the multisite module to has no formating and the second site doesn't connect to the database.

I have installed and reinstalled this and seem to keep getting the same problem.

Any help would be appreciated

I have a similar problem, but I think it's template related.
Some of the templates I use are fine, but some of them are also without formatting.

Somewhere in this extensive thread where people with the same issue, but they didn't post the solution (yet:()

It could be in the config files you made for each site, but I still couldn't figure what detail to ad to them to get the templates showing up fine.

Perhaps in the config file for your site you also can point to the right database.

Sorry, I can't help you any further on the moment, because I'm still investigating the problem.

Thanks for the reply, yeah i have noticed the same problem, but can never see the solution, I will just tray a few different templates and see if i get anywhere, if i do i will let you know as well.

Thanks

Hi there all.

What a wonderful mod! Loving it!

Im having a bit of a challenge with PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN.
I have one paypal account and all payments are accepted into this account (no problem).

the problem is with the "cancle and return to misite" link on paypal.

i have 5 sites:
misite1.com
misite2.com
etc etc...

when the customer has CONFIRMED ORDER and they are sent to Paypal, there is a link at the bottom "Cancel and return to Mi Site"
This link only works on one site, the site that ive set the following information in paypal.

*set your Instant Payment Notification Preferences URL to:

http://misite1.com/ipn_main_handler.php*
and
*Website Payments Preferences set your Automatic Return URL to:

http://misite1.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_process*

doesnt work for
misite2.com
misite3.com etc
the link returns an error: "Oops cant load this page" and is looking for this url:
https://www.paypalobjects.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_payment

I have a couple of other sites (call them thissite1.com, thissite2.com) that are not in my multisite and recieve payment from the same PDT and they work wonderfully.

Does anyone know how i might resolve this?

thanks kindly...

HI,

I have started again, with two fresh installs of zencart, however now i have another probelm where suddenly when i visit the domain name: https://www.essexrodentcontrol.com it says the domain https://www.essexrodentcontrol.com does not exist.

I have read a previous thread where they talk about a redirect but my problem is not identical and so i am not sure if this is the solution.

my two config file are:

essexrodentcontrol.com_config.php

$template_dir = "Essex Rodent";
define('SITE_NAME','Essex Rodent');
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.essexrodentcontrol.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://essexrodentcontrol.com');
define('CATEGORIES_ROOT','1'); //root categories is 1 for this site 

The second site seems ok and is online but i am not sure if that is simply because the first site with all the files in isn't working.

Anyway any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try renaming your file to 

www.essexrodentcontrol.com_config.php

thanks, i will give it a go

That worked Great Thanks, I was thinking of all sorts of ideas, but that didn't even enter my head.

Cheers

OK,

For my second problem, the second site https://www.flykillersdirect.com, doesn't seem to be connected to the first site at all. The config file is in the fodler and is now named www.flykillersdirect.com_config.php and is the same as the first sites file.

BUt it just doesn't connect, do i need to add the multisite module files to both sites??

Hi all, if anyone could help with this i would be most appreciative.
Zen Cart is not logging the purchase as Paypay is not connecting back to each Zen Cart in the multisite.

The only way i have of knowinw that theres been a purchase is to check with paypal. No looging in the Zen Cart? HELP..

Is there noone else experiencing challenges with IPN?
I the only one with a multisite that isnt recieving IPN in Zen?

Paypal IPN working for one site but none of the others in multisite?

eg:
site1.com - IPN working Great
site2.com - IPN not working great
site3.com - IPN not working great
site4.com - IPN not working great

recieving payment but not recieving email confirm and Zen Cart not recieving confirmation of payment from Paypal.

would a Paypal IPN Multiple Email script like the scriptomart DOT com one work or is the problem elsewhere?

Hi! I'm trying to install a multisite module for ZenCart on my local host. I tried to install for Zen Cart 1.3.8 and 1.3.9. Every time receives the same message:

"1054 Unknown column 'CATEGORIES_ROOT' in 'where clause'
Others:
[Cd.categories_name select from categories c, cd categories_description cd.categories_description WHERE LIKE '% SITE_NAME-%' AND cd.language_id = 2 AND c.parent_id = CATEGORIES_ROOT and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '2 'and c.categories_status = 1] "

I searched the whole forum and found a few similar cases. But I have not found a solution to my problem. I am doing everything according to the instructions http://www.thisdomain.net/dev/multisite_instructions_4.0.html
but still received the same message. Can anyone help me?

You need to edit your "includes/configure.php":
add the following line to the begging (top of the code):

include_once('includes/config_sites/sites_switch.php');

:D

Well.. It turns out the fix was really quite simple.
If anyone in the future runs into this problem, the issue with mine was in the "/includes/config_sites"

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://misite.co.nz');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://misite.co.nz');

I had
define('HTTP_SERVER', '');
in mine.. an obviously it couldnt find the domain.

I installed this on Zen 1.3.7 with a couple minor issues that I fixed no sweat. However when I go to the admin and under tools I can click Multisite Tools and that page comes up just fine.

However if I click either Display Configuration for a new site or - Display the relations Categories/Sites I get taken to the admin login screen.

I have searched though this whole thread and have not found an answer.

Can anyone point at me what I am missing or forgot or just did not see? Its probably something obvious but any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

I have a question about this module. I am thinking about using it for my nested websites. By this i mean that i have https://www.mysite.co.uk then another website within the same domain ie https://www.mysite.co.uk/general. will this module allow me to integrate the three nested sites that i have into one admin? please note that i have heavily moded my site and i am vfery wary of adding this module if it will mess up anything that I have working well. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
