MultiSite Module Support Thread

Design75:

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:

When You Say: "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."

Question: When I find the blocks of codes that are different, do I just add / or replace the new / different block of code anywhere in the code file as long as they are between two different blocks of code?

Or do I have to make changes to what is inside a specific block of code? I have always been really confused at this.

question 2: How can I tell the different blocks of code apart? Are they marked with special "markers" signafying a beginning and and end of a block of code?

not sure if this is related to the multi site module but now on Google Webmaster Tools, it is showing backlinks from some of my sites to the main site - even though there are no links i can find..

one example is:

it is saying that there are 109 links to http://www.swordsofhonor.com/##############-medieval-weapons/blades-sword-accessories/sword-dagger-frogs from various pages in http://www.netswords.com.. one page is http://www.netswords.com/2sworwalsamd.html - another is http://www.netswords.com/##############-medieval-weapons/blades-sword-accessories/sword-dagger-frogs

and i can't find a single link on those 2 pages to swordsofhonor.com

swordsofhonor is the main site and netswords is an add-on site.

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 ^.^

@ lhungil
@Design75

I have merged the "orders.php" file in the ZC admin folder with the "orders.php" file that is in the the admin folder in the Multitsite Module.
Then I uploaded/replaced the "orders.php" file that is in my zencart with the merged file.
The Super orders functions for edit orders, super orders, and ty package in ZC admin panel appears to be working fine.

question:

Is this "orders.php" file the only file that needs to be merged in the "2_required_Core_files" folder?
All the files in the "includes folders in the Multisite Mod were not merged. will doing so works? Or will other functions not work that I haven't discovered yet??

any pointers area greatly appreciated.

I just discovered who's online in zc admin isnot working. Any other thing I have to merge?

You normally do not need to edit who's online, for the multisite mod. The only thing that is a bit of a draw back, is that you are not able to see which site is being visited.

This could be links from blogs posts anywhere you may have added your link to.
and if it is places that you added your links to and it related to your prodect this is a good thin.
if it is links not related then trace back the link.. and see what the site is and maybe you could find your link on htat page.

Ok.. I have read through this whole thing.. and may have missed it and I have read the documentation and still cannot find out if anyone got this to work.
I have now 4 sites working.
I use my main site like a mini mall . everything can be listed there that I sell.
two sites are selling the samething.. just wanted to use catchy domain names
and now the third site (herasgifts) on the index page shows the products from the other two sizes I disabled the side boxe for feature , whats news and special so the other two sites stuff do not show up.

now under the side box that says categories that works and when ones clicks on the feature or whats new or special.. only items from that site work. but the problem is on the main page of (herasgifts).. I just want the items from (herasgifts) to sohow up..
thank you ..
i hope i explained this well.

Thank you for your reply.

Is there a way to make it Visible? Cause I love to see who is visiting and when spiders craw my site.

About the other files that you mentioned in the Install instructions.
Are the other files also needed to be merged?
I did look at some of them and they do appear to have multisite edits in them. Because some of these merges seems to be a bit more involved and not as clearcut as the one on the orders.php file.
In cases like that, do I replace the whole block of code?

Does the MultiSite Module work on sub directories too? i.e my first site could be https://www.myfirstsite.com and then my second site would be https://www.myfirstsite.com/site2. I need it to work this way per clients needs.

I think that will work. Its nothing but a subdirectory within a site.

Mulrisite is for multiple urls

Not without some major editing as far as I can see

I would have to take a look at that. My brain is like a swiss cheese at the moment. If I don't write it down I forget it :laugh:

That, ( who's online page available) would be great if it can be done. Or maybe for the next upgrade.

Some of these are in the template files as far as I remember. As usual, any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for lending a hand again. I got it figured out. I was the one that was messing up with the footer file. the folder I was trying to upload the file in contained a space that I missed. It was really hard to see. After I discovered the error, the problem got fixed.

thanks again for the speedy reply.

also, I got the "who's online page working" (me Dum Dum) It was working all along. Got so used to the ZC old versions, and forgot the ZC 1.5.1 filters out admin IP and Spider IP's by default.

: )

ZC v1.5.1
Multisite v1.0
Simple Google Analytics v1.2.5c
Google merchant v1.13.0

@ Design75 or anyone

I have a few questions concerning the MODS that I have listed and installed on my zc 1.5.1

Paypal payment express
Simple Google Analytics v1.2.5c
Google merchant v1.13.0

Do I use one account of each with all URL sites that I have installed? (eg 2 Paypal accounts; 2 google anyalitics accounts; 2 google merchange accounts)
Or is there the ability to use separate accounts for each of the above mentioned mods?

If so, how do I enter the log in credentials for each of the accounts?

just put the values that are different in the config files.
the key can be found when you go to information->multisite
