[SOLVED] B2C Features On V1.5... Possible?

[arlind0]

Hi there,

 

I have been testing the new version, and i must say I liked watt i see!!

Major and very nice upgrades!!

 

But I am particulary interested in one new B2C Features... Like this possibility:

 

We have to major supplyers selling on my Shop. Now i am having the work of inserting all products here, but i would like to guive access to both of them and allow them to create new products, but not see the other supplyer products...

 

 

Is there any way to do this now? And in a new version?

 

 

Best Regards!!

 

Arlindo

Hi Arlindo,

The biggest new feature of version 1.5 is MultiStore, allowing you to create multiple storefronts for your site. You can create one for each supplier with a separate login, allowing them to manage their own inventory without seeing that of other suppliers.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Mike,

 

I believe you have solved my issue...

I can even create multiple storefronts in sub-domains... I Like the idea!!

 

I have already tryed to test MultiStore, but i had some difficulty..

 

I have the same question that this fellow here:

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/147144-how-shops-multistore-work/

 

Can you clarify that please?

 

Best Regards,

 

Arlindo

 

PS- THANKS for the Idea!!

[Mike Kranzler]

Hi Arlindo,

I'm glad I could help! Version 1.5 was just introduced to everyone (including yours truly) as a beta release less than a week ago, so I am still discovering all the awesome new things that will come with this next major update.

 

Just to make sure you understand, this version cannot be used on a live website until it is fully released, but you are more than welcome to set it up in a test environment to play around with the new features and learn how to properly adapt it to your needs.

 

In this situation, it would probably be best to have one of the developers of this feature answer you, so I will try to have one of them pop onto here and help you out.

[arlind0]

Hi Mike,

 

I will be Gratefull for your intervencion to obtain one faster awnser.

I Understant this is not for production, but i am testing in advance... , and with all of these new features, documentation is still not available. I believe one "How to set up MultiStore" manual will be available... or not. But with a few tipps i know i can get there.

 

Thanks again, and sorry my English!

 

Arlindo

[Mike Kranzler]

Hi Arlindo,

I know our team is hard at work on the documentation, but in the meantime I am waiting to hear back from the MultiStore developer to ensure that I am getting you the best, easiest and most accurate information on how to work with this new feature.

 

-Mike

[arlind0]

Thanks a lot your time and your effort!

I'll be waiting ...

Hello,

in order to use multishop you have to follow these steps :

 

1) Create some other shops in the "Shop" tab (E.g. Store 2, Store 3, Store 4, etc..)

 

2) You have to link your new shops with an URL, each shop MUST have at least 1 URL (1 main URL), so you have to go in the "Shop -> Shop URL" tab in BO, and create new URLs for each shop

 

3) When you create an URL you have 2 choice : you create URLs with differents domains (so you have to config your server / vhost), or you create virtual URLs (you need the rewrite mod in apache, this mod is the same that the one required for friendly urls).

Virtual URLs are the easiest way to test multishop, for exemple if your website is http://www.prestashop.com, you can have these URLs : http://www.prestashop.com/store1/, http://www.prestashop.com/store2/, http://www.prestashop.com/store3/

 

In order to use this when you create your URL :

domain : www.prestashop.com

domain ssl : www.prestashop.com

physical url : - let this field empty -

virtual url : store 1

 

Best regards

[arlind0]

Hi there Raphael,

 

For me i think the best choice is the 2nd one, creating virtual URLs with the exact example you give...

But it is still not working, and I think it is becouse of the "rewrite mod in apache", i have one plesk server and i think that will not be easy for me.

 

Just to confirm that my problem is in the "rewrite mod in apache", please see the image below and confirm if my configurations are correct.

 

Also, is there one manual of how to change the "rewrite mod in apache" on one plesk virtual server, or do i have to speak with the hosting company??

 

Many thanks and Best Regars:

 

Arlindo

 

 

Are these configurations OK?

 

PS - I Have installed Prestashop 1.5.x in one sub-folder of my domain, called "VR15"

[Raphaël Malié]

When you activate Friendly URLs in PrestaShop, are they working in FrontOffice ?

[arlind0]

Hi again,

 

I do not had Friendly URLs activated in prestashop.

So i went here:

 

 

Followed the instructions ( adding one .htss...file... ) and get this error when click on "generate .htaccess file":

 

 

Internal Server Error

 

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

 

 

 

But it writes in the .htaccess file on the prestashop home directory this information:

But, if i go to "Second Shop" (www.domaim.com/vr15/loja2/ ) created, now i get the same error described above.

 

But also the administration prestashop is showing the same error!!! ( Internal Server Error)

So i had to go and delete the contempt of the .htaccess file, and i was able to enter the prestashop administration Area Again... And now i have the information on the DashBoard that the "Friendly URLs" are activated. But the file .htaccess is empty, otherwise i loose access to administration.

 

 

 

 

Do you have any suggestion?

[Raphaël Malié]

Can you test again with the BETA 2 we released yesterday ? You can dl it here : http://www.prestashop.com/fr/download_complete?do=prestashop_1.5

 

This second BETA correct a lot of bugs, including the one with the .htaccess. After installation, please test again friendly urls and tell me if it works

 

Regards

[arlind0]

Hi there,

 

.htaccess Issue Solved and MultiStore working OK with friendly urls making Magic!

 

Only one issue.. : I cannot make the theme working in the multiple storefronts (Modules and blocks yes...)

 

See how it looks one of the multiple shop storefront:

 

In the Thems TAB I have one diferente storefront selected... But nothibg appears...

Any suggestion?

 

Best regards, and have one exelent 2012!!!

[Martin C]

I also tried the multishop function and followed the above instructions.

If i enter the url http://localhost/prestashop/zilverenspaarpot/ i 'm redirected to the main shop:

 

[Debug] This page has moved

Please use the following URL instead: http://localhost/prestashop/en/

 

The friendly url seems to work oke.

What else can be wrong i used the last svn version.

okay a total restart of my browser did the trick.

I have one final question if you want to setup multishop with multiple domains you said "so you have to config your server / vhost" what exactly do you have to do?

[Raphaël Malié]

Hello Mcrielaard,

the problem you had with URL was linked to our browser cache, that's why you had to restart it.

 

I can't explain you how virtual host are working because it is pretty complicated, this is an Apache basic function which allow you to manage several domain with same IP. I suggest you to search some informations on google : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

 

Regards

[arlind0]

Hi Raphael,

 

And about my above question? Do you know the reason that leaves my multishops created with no Template?

 

Regards,

 

Arlindo

[Raphaël Malié]

Hello,

can you make a screenshot of the table shop_url content in your database for me please ? I need it to check if everything is ok (this could explain your theme problem).

 

Regards

[arlind0]

Hi Raphael!!

 

Here you have a screen of the reequested Table...

Tanks for your help!

 

 

Regards,

 

Arlindo

[arlind0]

Solved.

 

The problem was:

I added one diferent Template from the one I use in the "Default" shop, and it is now visable.

 

If i use the default template in the Default and multishop, I get the erros above, if i use different templates, it works.

 

For me it is OK...

 

Best Regards!

[Mike Kranzler]

Great! I'll go ahead and mark this as solved for you.
