MultiSite Module Support Thread

I cant seem to find installation instuctions. I saw one for the beta. Can someone help please. Thanks

batterygenie:

I've been searching this forum for days looking for the answer to this simple question.

I've done everything I need to do to get the separate sites up and running with the exception of the SSL Certificate. What exactly is it that I need to do to get SSL's on different domains using this mod, such as:

www .Site1 .com
www .Site2 .com

I tried setting up a multidomain SSL as suggested by my hosting provider and the good folks at GoDaddy, but only the main FQDN jumps to https. Any other site gets redirected back to the unsecure http. If this isn't the right procedure, does anyone here know how to proceed for this kind of setup?

OK i can see the multi-site thingy on one store. How do i add another store please? Basically i have two sites. I installed multi-site for one how do i get to manage the second site from the first?

Hello,

I have a basic question and if somebody can help me out I'd appreciate it.

I need to have some page on https://www.mysite.com and store on https://www.mysite.com/store

https://www.mysite.com has to be parked domain per multisite mode config

How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Hello again,

Can somebody let me know how to create separate ezpages for each site? At the moment they are globally defined.

Very easy. Change the template on the templates switch. Then go and create the easy page using that template. So, depending on what site/template you want to publish the page, you change the template to that.

Hi

I am thinking about downloading this module. I have a number of domains hosted on the same server. At the moment, I haven't created the entire product catalogue yet.

My Question is .... Would I be best to get one site up and running perfectly before downloading this module? Or, is it easy to update the product catalogue for all domains at the same time - I suppose the underlying database is the same ... but just wondered if anyone had any advice for me....

Thanks in advance

Gillian

I thought it would work this way but it does not.

In my config file for site 2 I have

define('EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER','1'); //EZ-Pages Display Status - HeaderBar
define('EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER','1'); //EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar

And ALL ezpages become visibile. Why does this happen? Newly created ezpage does not come up at all.

IMHO, it's better to get your site fully running and then go for the multisite module. My guess is you're going to have quite a lot of addons on your sites. You should install them all and then install this module manually (not using the MODIFY_FILES folder). Otherwise, you **might **cause multisite module to break apart and stop working if you install addons later and don't do it veeeery carefully.

Actually, this module doesn't support EZpages filtering.

Ideasgirl mixed up ezpages and define pages. That's how you edit define pages - simply by changing the template.

As far as i know, you can't filter ezpages. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.
There are two workarounds, but not as simple as using ezpages.
First is to use ezpages but link them manually. So, you create some kind of a menu or whatever and manually add links to your desired ezpage using dreamweaver and ftp.
Second is to create more define pages for each template used using the About Us Page addon. This is what i did...

I think you are right. EZPAGES don't work with multisite. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi.
After I installed multisite_0.4.1 got blank index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping page.

Plz, help :huh:

I have the multi-site module installed and it appears to be working...
m.theebooksale.com
store.theebooksale.com

But when I go to the admin, I get:
the domain store.theebooksale.com does not exist.

Does anyone know why????

OK, call me crazy, but... I'd actually like to help you cause i haven't seen this one before. :smile:

If you want, you can PM me with your ftp and admin access details and i'll get to it. And, AFTER i'm done (and if), you can donate something here or to my private account, what ever you prefer and only if you want.

And if you're wondering why i'd like to help - I'm writing a detailed "for dummies" guide to multisite module and have never seen this problem so i'd like to cover it with the guide... :smartalec:
For all of you out there already thinking to ask when will it be available: i don't know. It's about 60% finished, but i'm working on a few projects and don't have enough time to finish it. I'll post a notification here when completed. And, yes, it will be free to download. :smile:

I finally got it sorted... sort of. I had an issue with iridium not being able to access Pear on the server... so I modified the server with a vhosts.conf file to allow PHP to file PEAR... which somehow messed up the admin of the store and not the storefront... which I don't understand.

I fixed this by installing PEAR in the httpdocs folder for the domain and Iridium and Multi-Site are playing nice together now.

Can you please tell which template you used?

Which template did you use?

Has anybody tested this?
It look like filter for ezpages is alredy there...

streetglow:

Now is the day that I release the EZPages Filter.

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

Attachment #2504

Hmm... really?!
I don't really believe so.
I have made a kind of simulation mode which I can turn on or off in every shop connected to the same database.
This simulation mode simulates array containing the input I want for that shop.
Try debugging a few things...

For example:
What is the currencies variable?
All the info is pumped into this currencies variable by an array.
Simply use the function "print_r();" to see what's inside the array, with this data you can "simulate" the array but now with other data.
Give it a try :-)

I think the best option to create a filter just like for products. Does anyone know if it has already been developed? Does anyone use it?

I, too, am designing a new site now for some of my niche categories and this module seems like it could pull all of the categories together and the one cart idea would save alot of expense and labor. I would love to see this module up and running... are there any sites out there that have implemented it? Cant seem to find any in the thread. Thanks.

Hi,

I have say that Im new here, and so, of course I did not read this entire topic, as some information can be outdated.

But I did really made a lot of research on google on this site and in the search in here, but I am still not able to solve my problems.

I installed, and it's working almost as I want now, except for two things:

2. New Products shows products from all categories

3. SSL

About SSL, I have my store at a domain, and a secondary store on a subdomain. I want same address for checkout, not only because of SSL, but also to cross carts.

Is there solution? Anyone have a clue how on where to edit on the source code to manage this?

Thank you very much. :lookaroun

No one have had this problem? Still got no responses.
