Hi all,
I'm using v1.2.8
I have got Multistore working and I appreciate all the help from the forum.

I am trying to find out a little more about the nuts and bolts of how multistore works and if i can get it to do something I thought would be easy but can't see how to do it.

For those who are following the saga I have two domains on the same host, one is an add-on.  By redirecting the document root from the add-on domain to my primary domain abantecart folder, multistore now works and I have all the benefits of running multistore.  The downside is that any other content that may have been on the add-on site is now unavailable (Example a photogallery running from myaddondomain/photos/).

So the question:-
Can I redirect from a folder (example storeNo2) instead of the root, on the add-on site to my abantecart, and if so how do I do it. 

If I can do this it would leave the rest of the site content available to visitors who would visit the site for its content not just to visit the store.

The reason:-
I have another domain, that is content rich, that would benefit from having access to some of the items held in the abantecart store, but not at the expense of losing the sites content.

Just spent 2 hours on live chat to the hosting provider who tell me abantecart cannot run multistore.  Hoping for more joy here and I am sure I am not the only one who would like to be able to do this.

Really looking forward to hearing you views

Regards

Hi,
I'm using c1.2.8
Is there a way to add products to another store as a batch.

I don't mind amending items one by one but if I could select a few at a time and then add the store in one go it would be useful. 

Thanks for the reply.

I've attached a screen shot of the store settings.

Any chance you could be a little more specific about the domnain related issue?

Hi,
I am using v1.2.8

I have followed the instructions to the best of my ability to set up a second store.
My primary store is secondsystems.co.uk and this is now working correctly.
My second store is to be on paragtim.co.uk

In my cpanel
I have added paragtim.co.uk as a add-on domain and prior to trying to set up the second store this domain resolved correctly as displayed content in the domain without any problems.  I then changed the document root to point at the store path on the primary domain.  Please see the attached file.

In my Abantecart admin panel
I set up the new store and set the store url to http://www.paragtim.co.uk/.

End result
When I visit http://www.paragtim.co.uk/ an Abantecart store loads as you would expect, but, it is a direct clone of https://www.secondsystems.co.uk/abantecart/. 

None of the changes made in the Abantecart Control Panel for the new store http://www.paragtim.co.uk/ (Store Name, Title or Welcome Message) are being displayed on the  http://www.paragtim.co.uk/ pages.

If I try to edit any of the content in the Abantecart control panel using paragtim store it directly over rights the content in the primary (default) store as well as the paragtim store.

Is there any chance someone could point me in the right direction to solve these problems.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply. 

I will investigate the points that you made about the SSL. Always good to be aware of problems so they can be sorted.

Still not sure how this is going to help me get the graphices back onto the storefront.  It was displaying correctly then stopped, no changes where made to the site configuration, other than trying to get multi-store to work.

Still looking for answers

Thank you so much for the answer, which leads on the the next silly question - How long do items stay in the cart?

Hi all,

I am using v1.2.8

I have the COD extension installed and wish to change the text that appears on the checkout page to read Cash On Collection.

I have followed the tree \system\localisation\Language Definitions\default_cod_default_cod and amended the Cash on Delivery to cash on Collection but the change is not showing on the checkout page.

Can someone tell me where else I might need to change this

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

One of life little mysteries. It was showing as on, but an off and on again seems to have fixed it.

Problem solved
