Multi Sites

Introduction

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.

About a month ago, I need a tool to build mutisite, so I contact with Edwin and ask him whether his product can meet my requirements. The feedback email Quick and detailed. So I decide to purchase this component. But my account came across a problem when i was paying the bill. Yesterday I complete my payment,But I Encountered a problem when I install the component, I contact with edwin by email, and leave him an administrator account.

I am very happy with his extra work, so I got pay them an extra fees.and I strongly recommend this product to those people who want to creat mutisites.(forgive my poor english.)

Very Useful Extension and Great Customer Service

This extension does exactly as advertised and does it well. There is some complexity to it, but remember that you're dealing with an operating system, a web server, Joomla! and a complex extension all at once. We've had a few installation issues, mainly due to unix permissions and apache configuration, but none unsurmountable. I can highly recommend this for people that need to run multiple sites on one server.

Edwin's customer service is second to none!

Fantastic program - fantastic support, worth every penny

Great program, any "bugs" I came across were of my own missunderstanding of the way it works. If you have no tecnical understanding of MySQL - invest in an hour of Edwins time to go over your set up. Well worth the money! I paid for a couple of hours of time though and was VERY happy I did. Edwin is extremely knowledgable, And taught me what I needed to know to get this program working to save me hours if not weeks of developement time. Edwin was even able to help me integrate a different program into Multisite's sharing setups.

Must have for Multiple Sites

Wow - I have just found exactly what I needed with Joomla Multi-Site (JMS). I could not get past what was inevitably going to be a nightmare as I have grown in my site building to a point where even just the new version updating would have taken me days.

After finding JMS I was skeptical but went ahead hoping for the best. Wow was I surprised! Not only did JMS make it possible to produce hundreds of Joomla sites with just a single install, it did it in such a way that we were able to build 400 sites in a single day.

I originally wanted a multi-site solution for maintenance issues going forward but found not only a solution for that but also found a solution that drastically reduces the time I now spend building profitable sites not to mention the additional benefit of the space it saves on the servers.

If you are growing and have found the need to have multiple sites this is your solution. I wish I would have found it before I started my second site.

Support has also been top level.Edwin knows his stuff and is constantly adding new things to make this solution even better!

Multi-sites made easy!

This component allowed me to use Joomla! for a large multi-site configuration rather that moving to a different CMS. Making updates to 10 sites at once through shared template files makes the update process much easier. Not to mention Joomla! version updates. I decided to write this review because of the customer service I have received from the developer. He provides top notch technical support through forums, emails and video.

Powerful but buggy

JMS2Win has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, its quite buggy. For example, with core SEF on, many of the form functions do not work - like creating/deleting sites.

Clean, Professional, Must-Have Extension

This is the most comprehensive component I have ever seen. The possible configurations are endless.

I am using Jms Multi Site for a client who wants to manage several sub-sites from a central admin panel.

They have one main website, and several sub-sites. Each of the sub-sites will contain a smaller subset of the main articles and products, with a few that are unique to that site.

With Jms Multi Site, and some of the excellent add-ons available, we are putting together a system where they will be able to manage all their VM products, articles (and soon even contacts) via the main admin panel for their master site.

The only thing that they will need to manage from separate sub-site admin panels is the unique menu for each site. Everything else will be handled from the main master admin panel.

Of course, this represents only one of the many ways that Jms can be configured for multi-site management. Many people are using it for their many Joomla! clients who have completely different websites. Sharing the core Joomla! engine allows for developers to host, support and upgrade many Joomla! websites easily.

I recommend this low-cost component to everyone! There are many add-ons for it, so you can choose what you need.

Purchasing this system for my client has saved them so much money. They probably would not have been able to afford the development costs of engineering a system for their needs. But Jms saved the day!

Excellent Service and Outstanding Component

I purchased the multisite component, menu items and virtuemart plugin. I was able to make the installations needed and it saved me so much time and effort it cut down my project plan by a week. I had a little trouble re-downloading the component to install on a another site but Edwin responded within less than 24 hours with great support a new ID link. After that I was able to download all of the plugins and components.

For those of us who have tried having one site with multiple domains but one database, this tool is an answered prayer. I had done it manually before but to be honest its messy, it takes longer and it involves too many headaches. It is worth the money and I don't consider it a lot.

Thanks Edwin!

Great Component!
