[Tserin]

Hi guys,

I wondering how to do this:

1. I have Main website with shop (eStore of course – Domain no.1

2. I have all of my products there (cd, dvd, seminars and membership access)

3. But the Membership website is on different domain, base on different WordPress (of course with eMember) – Domain no.2

How to sell quick from – Domain no.2 with eStore from – Domain no.1 ?

The same is with eAffiliate, with works on – Domain no.1

Regards

You can’t sell membership on domain 2 when your ecommerce plugin is on domain 1. It’s like Amazon.com is trying to sell stuff from some-domain.com

It doesn’t work like that. You need to install the membership plugin on domain 1 or have another set of ecommerce and affiliate plugin installed on domain 2.

Ok, then how to connect it ?

I do not want to have a few different websites and webshops, because this can make a mess in head of my customers.

What do you think: maybe good idea, will be one database for all of those WordPress and webshops ?

[Tserin]

Hmm, or maybe Multi site option ?

1. Main domain with all plugins

2. Different domains where I can use all of your plugins ?

Okay for all these 4 different site do you have one WordPress installed or 4 different WordPress installed? I am pretty sure you have got 4 different WordPress installed. You need to understand how the web works first. When you are using a WordPress plugin you need to use a separate copy for every WordPress install. If you could access the backend of one site from another that would be a major security issue.

Amin sure, I know this.

My needs are complex. I want to:

1. Sell my normal products, digital products, seminars tickets and membership access via eStore

2. Promote all of them via eAffiliate

Question is:

But how to track the sales when I am selling products from shop

and tickets from different websites and membership is another website ?

Do you think it should be like that ?:

1. shop.domain.pl (with affiliate addon)

2. seminar.domain.pl (with redirection into shop ? to buy ticket ?)

but how to make affilate page ? another one ?

but how to track the clicks, and salles ?

Hmm, I am kinda lost

and your advise and help will be very appreciate!

Looks like you are using sub-domains. The way to handle this is to use WPMU. Why don’t you install WPMU on your site if you want to have multiple sites on your sub-domains? Then you can install all the plugins on your main domain and you will have access to it from all of your sub-domains.

Hi Amin,

Well, I was thinking that new WordPress 3.0 will be the same like WPMU, but sure I will check this now.

If this will work with sub-domains, and I can map them to outside domain, then cool.

Example:

seminar1.domain.pl -> customer will see http://www.domain1.pl

seminar2.domain.pl -> customer will see http://www.domain2.pl

seminar3.domain.pl -> customer will see http://www.domain3.pl

If eShop eAffiliate and eMember will work on this, then… Alleluja

Hallo ?

[amin007]

Yeah the plugin will work once you setup the MU environment.

[Tserin]

Amin: unfortunately it does not work.

I. Plugin is activated only on main domain

Main domain + eShop

http://tserin-media.pl/

Test product id:1

http://tserin-media.pl/2010/07/24/test-products/

visible – working

This same products on one of subdomains:

http://akademia.tserin-media.pl/

does not work – I only see the code.

II. Plugin is activated on whole network

I see the codes but no products (of course – those are different database tables)

Any ideas what to fix ?

[amin007]

Did you place the plugin in the “mu-plugins” directory or the “plugins” directory?

[Tserin]

Plugins.

Checking with mu-plugins and fresh Website installation now.

[Tserin]

Hmm Amin,

unfortunately when I put all of those plugins inside the mu-plugins, then I can not access into configuration menu.

There is no eStore or eMember panel.

Any idea ?

[amin007]

When you place the plugins in mu-folder they get activated automatically. Not sure why you are not getting a control for them though.

Okay lets backup a bit. when you did the previous try where you had it working on the main domain did you activate the plugin site wide so all the sub domains get it too? In the MU Settings you can specify which plugins you want to have active site wide so it will be available on the sub blogs too.
