Introduction

Core Enhancements, Multiple Sites

JMS Multisites extend joomla with Multi Sites and user sharing. This allows multiple domain names or sites to have their own joomla configuration file using the same joomla installation.
Starting with Jms Multisite version 1.3.80, it is also not only compatible with Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5, 3.x, 4.x but also partially compatible with Joomla 5.0.
Possibility to share the users, and extensions like VirtueMart, Community Builder, JomSocial, ...
With this new feature you can share the joomla files and folders to create totally independent web sites.
This simply the maintenance of Joomla as you have only one instance to update for all the websites.
With JMS you can create website based on website template to create new slave site.
A "maintenance" functionality is also provided to help supervising the extension installed in each website with their datamodel and help you fix the potential datamodel errors.
As each website has its own joomla configuration.
You can decide to use:
- One database for all the websites. In this case, you must specify different database table prefix for each websites.
- Two databases (One master database and One slave database). This architecture is advised when you want to install JMS on an existing website and you are limited in the number of databases you can create (or disk space).
- As many databases than there are websites. This is the most flexible architecture where each websites works with its own database. This is generally the architecture adopted by joomla when you create multiple websites.
The content of each website is totally independent. This means that the content (articles, news, forum, users, ...) are NOT shared.

The setup of each configuration site consists in using the standard joomla installation mechanism.
In the administration of a 'Slave' site, you can re-install/uninstall extension previously installed on the 'Master' site.
The 'Master' site is the one where you have installed the Joomla MultiSite component and where you manage the 'Slave' sites.
Additional controls are performed during the installation/uninstallation of an extension in a 'slave' site.
Before executing the standard joomla installation, it is verified that the extension you request to install has exactly the same name and same version number to avoid inconsistency between all sites.
This additional control is performed to ensure that you will overwrite the current installation with identical files that you originally installed.
On 'slave' site, uninstalling an extension consists in a joomla standard cleanup of the database. The files present on disk for this extension is not deleted to avoid disturb the other sites.

You can also replicate a website into the same database or in different DB to avoid re-installing the extension in each slave site.
On Unix platform, it is also possible to deploy a slave site into a specific folder.

You can also share user and share the content of a limited number of extensions.

Excellent extension and service

We use Joomla multi-sites to save us time and grief with 75K users on our joomla site all needing access they don't want to register for on
Ease of use
We are well pleased with this solution - as we add and delete thousands of users at a time this extension is necessary to keep us up to date
Support
The support is what made this product best for us - my tech director had a regular conversation over a few days as we pinned down its use.
Documentation
Didn't need documentation, the extension worked so well. I'm sure that everything they do you will be pleased with.
Value for money
I wish they all were this good - We purchased it years ago and the license was still valid when we signed in again recently.
I used this to: connecting a large joomla site with our app also run on a joomla site

Helpful developer, great support

I could not wait for more from a component i got for a certain job. Installed, configured and works like a charm.

Support
Excellent! What you need, when you need it. Those guys really make you feel that they want to help you!

Pretty good!
Value for money
Compared to the prospects given to your sites from the component, the value is low.

Fantastic Component & Support

It does what it says, although from time to time I come across some issues but most of the are due to the way Joomla & other extensions work
Ease of use
Not your average extension - it takes some time to understand the concept, but once you get that and have the project setup, things roll-out
Support
The developer is responsive to all my support requests. For extended support or custom works there is the option for buying support hours.
Documentation
There is a pdf and video tutorials - in the beginning they may feel overwhelming. After working and studying the docs it starts making sense
Value for money
This extension adds great possibilities to Joomla core - so although a bit pricy it worths the money for the purpose it serves
I used this to: I am administrating a Joomla multi-sites project where I am replicating various types of sub-sites from site-templates, using a single Joomla installation.

Tried for three weeks to get it to work - cancelled order

None provided without their paid support plan

I have requested a refund from paypal
I used this to: I have used Joomla since 2007. When I removed this comp from my system, the hosting company had to repair my site. I tried several times to work with the developer to get the comp working, very vague support offered, I have received better support from comps i paid $25 for.

Great Extension

Powerful and Professional



Posted on 17 June 2015
Functionality
Very comprehensive. Multisites with all the bells and whistles. This extension provides lots of possibilities.
Ease of use
It does have a learning curve. But this is to be expected for an extension of this kind. It solves a complex problem in a complex CMS.
Support
A forum, in which the developer responds personally, E-Mail and paid support. He knows what he's talking about and is very professional.
Documentation
Documentation is very thorough and, in fact, is available in English. The PDF has 99 pages. Plus more in the forums and the website.
Value for money
Very good. Once it's setup you hardly ever need to touch it again, except maybe for configuration changes.
I used this to: We have several complex installations (Joomla 2.5 and 3.x) with multiple slave-sites and multisites-addons.
