hi edwin2win

I have been playing with jms multisites for somes days on a demo website
I don't report any bugs.
I tried to install and use some extensions like chronoforms, community builder and others.

Up now I have not a deep understanding of jms.
So for as much as I know, the odd side is about:

a) propagation of installation to slaves
I noticed that somes extensions, installed on the master (repository),
need a rebuild of the slaves.
Propagation to slaves doesn't works.
Extension example is "CB gallery plugin & module"

b) extensions sharing is not automatic (except for users sharing)
it needs others components or
may be transforming extension slaves tables to sql views (risky)



If all of said is true (I am not sure)
I have to use jms only for very restricted tasks (not everywhere),
because I cannot think to manage site maintenance in this way for every new extension I need to install.

thanks.

a) In general modules and plugin can just be defined.
You mentioned a potential issue concerning the install with propagation into the children.
Can you tell me the version of Joomla that you are using.
I don't know the CB gallery plugin and modules.
If you want that we add the definition of these extension in JMS, you can send a the extension in the attachement of an email.
We will review them and perhaps add their definition in a next release of JMS.

b) The sharing of extension content is limited to some extensions and require a manual review of the extension to discover the data model and ensure that the extension does not perform any queries outside of its own tables (except the users that can be shared).
So check in the list of extension can be shared or not.

This link can also be accessed via the "help" button present in the JMS Tool menu.

a)
Joomla 1.73
CB 1.71
plug_cbprofilegallery_1.2.zip & mod_cbgallery_1.2.zip
CB profile gallery plugin and modules shows the photo-gallery in the user profile.

As I see that CB use a special install for plugins
I guess this may be the problem.




In general,
for my current level of knowledge of JMS, Joomla and extensions (at least the populars one),
I have decided to delay its application at least until I have a minimum operating site with somes popular extensions installed.
because now I don't want to worry too much about every extension I give a try.

I will decide later on what kind of compromise
using CB and others exts
to create just "tiny quick-build slaves" for registered members.

If the plugin and module are installed inside the CB installer then it is managed by CB itself.
After that all depends if you decide to share CB between the websites or not.
When it is shared, you should have the same plugin and modules declared in the website.
If CB is not shared, you will have to re-install the plugin and modules inside the CB installer of the slave site.

I think you are right

Probably it was just a problem of cb sharing
because I installed CB after creating the slaves (using templates)

As I have understood that if I modify the template I have to rebuild all the slaves down the slaves tree.

Because of this I decided to get a minimun operating site first
and build slaves later.

All things should be simplified working this way.
