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.

Edwin is an amazing developer and has put out a very well designed product.

This solution, which replicates database tables, doesn't rely on synching, so data is always the same.

I used it to get Community Builder users across multiple domains and have loved it since, while articles, can be different.

Enable what gets duplicated by component, module or article. The possibilities are endless.

Superb extension!

I am very impressed with this program. The support is great too, very fast! You have to be comfortable with how database structuring works, but the tutorials make it easy.

Works great and excellent support

I've been using the old branch (1.0.xx) of Multisites for 2 Years now and it works great. I use it as my development site, so I don't have several Joomla installs to take care of on my development server.

The best about this extension is that when you need support, you get it almost instantly.

Thanks Edwin!

Superb support by Edwin and JMS Multisites works extremely well, however configured.

For those familiar DNS and a solid understanding of file structures and Unix systems, it is straight forward enough. The videos on the JMS site are pretty good and if I could offer a small criticism, it would be the English language translation in the manual. Other than that...very solid!

This makes sharing users easy

At first this seems complicated and it might take a few attempts to get a successful slave - the excellent tutorial videos helped me a great deal. Once you've got the hang of making one, you could easily make a hundred.

I've tried other solutions, but this one worked best for me with it's built in support for third party apps like virtuemart and community builder. It's a very powerful feature, well worth the cost and more.

I can't give enough praise for this component, bottom line is if you want to share a user database between a number of websites then this is the answer.

Excellent component

Edwin the developer is one of the most intelligent and experienced developers I have ever worked with. Not only is his product incredible, but his support exceeded my expectations as well.

When I hired him to help me configure a few things, he went above and beyond, and spent his entire Sunday afternoon helping me make a Monday deadline I had. He could probably do in an hour what would take an average developer 5 hours.

I not only recommend getting his product, but hiring him to configure it for you as well, you won't be disappointed.

5 stars - are not enough
