MultiSite Module Support Thread

No there is no lag, they show up immediately

Thanks. I have attached the logs to the previous post. could it be having something to do with the renaming of the templates? I copied and rename them according to install instructions.

the log tells you it is missing includes/modules/robbor_green_BAM/categories_popup.php
check to see is it exists, and if not make sure to place a copy of the file in that location

yes. that was the culprit. In fact, the same folder for "includes/modules/robbor_Red_BEX" was missing too. It was left out during the copying of the templates. They show up fine now.

One thing I notice is that the left side boxes for the main site https://www.birthdaysextreme.net is missing, and the left and right side boxes for www.birthdays and more are missing too. I also don't see my test products in the sites.

Is this something that is fix at the admin area?

Glad you got it working :thumbsup:

For the sideboxes, it is the same as normal, when you use a template for the first time you will need to reset the sideboxes for that template.

I just figured that out a bit and am still playing around with the settings. It is in the layout boxes. But the product categories does not appear in the left side bar while it does on the top. I wonder why?

Second thing I noticed is that Super Orders, Edit Orders, and Ty Package tracker does not work after install.
So was Who's online as well. Are these normal or do they have to configured in the *.php config files for each individual site?

Again any help is greatly appreciated.

I am using Super Orders, Edit Orders, and Ty Package tracker tp on some sites, and have no problem with their functioning. Just be very careful with merging if necessary.

When you say "do not work" what exactly do you mean?

I'm going to guess you missed a merge or two with "orders.php" when installing (needs to be manually merged with "orders.php" from Super Orders).

Keep in mind Multisite Module does make changes to the Zen Cart database (the orders table). This will affect some other modules (such as Admin New Order) as the other modules do not know about (or how to populate) the extra field.

Note: just noticed Design75 beat me to the likely answer ^.^

do you mean merging Multisite files with SO, EO, and TY after the before mentioned are installed? Or Merging the files for the three when installing them?
NOTE: I am using EO 4.1.1 RC1 because I volunteered to test install and use it for lhungl. It may have something to do with that. I just send a PM to lhungl and have to see what he say about this.

I have not done any merging at all so far with all 19 MODS installs I have done so far.

I know how to use Winmerge. But have no clue on how merging goes and therefore avoid merge required Mods at all cost.

WIth winmerge, do you just click merge after compairing the two files in question?

Winmerge will show you the differences, but you will still need to make the decision yourselves if the code that is not the same needs to be edited.
Some of us here who make and edit the mods make it a good habit of marking the code blocks clearly that are different form the stock code. But never just blindly copy the differences.
Sometimes more than one mod need to change the same block of code, and that can make quite changeling. But without that where would the fun be :laugh:

Merging "orders.php" from Super Orders with "orders.php" from MultiSite Module. You need to do this by hand.

Note: and Design75 beat me to the answer again. Time for me to go back to lurking ^.^

with "does not work" I mean:

1. when you go to admin> customers>orders>edit, I am taken to the regular edit page where you can only add comments and change order status, and selecting to send email or not etc.. page.

In Fact, any "edit" button that has to do with editing an order give the same page. The Super Order pages (with red and green buttons) are not there at all as if they were never installed. tracking number entry box is not there as well as any of the functions that deals with adding or changing the order is not there at all.

2. The "Who's online" page does not have anything displayed? Is this related to this forum or this more related to MULTISITE forum.

My guess is it has nothing to do with the multisite mod, but with a bad install of the other mods.
Retrace your steps and reinstall SO, EO, and Ty.

I see. And I though I was "home safe". That means I have not been able to avoid merging files after all if I want multisite. I will take a look at these 2 files and see if I am able to do it on my own first then ask for help later.

All of those were tested and working fine after they were installed. And even works after many more mods were added there after. So I quess it has to do with having to merging the order.php files.

You are so right on that. That makes learning more fun in a way especially when you are able to solve the problem.

It can be a pain sometimes to find why something is not working, since it only takes one rogue character to crash the system.

DO you recommend someone that can do this for a price? In case I am not able to do it.
