I am not sure i am using multisites the right way.
Right now i thought i'd do the following:

Setup a
master site = www.mydomain.com as a common page for my company, which offers links to the slave sites and to the online store.

slave site 1 = SLAVE1.mydomain.com - for business purpose SLAVE1
slave site 2 = SLAVE2.mydomain.com - for business purpose SLAVE2

Both sites should share users and have 6 languages set up through joomfish
i want to set up different theme styles (coloring, header images, menus, content,..)

Now - i have set up subdomains in cpanel and placed them in public_html/SLAVE1 and SLAVE2.
It is ok if they are recognized as subdirectories of the master site i guess.

I have used the option replicMasterSubdomain {=> siteid_} to create the pages in the subdomain folders.

I am using Yootheme Infinite

Now my problem is that the master site has the correct theme but the slave sites have no template - seems like they have no CSS at all...

I have tried to search for yootheme patches which i saw some hints to in the forum but i couldn't find anything - guess these patches should be installed automatically when patching??

help would be very much appreciated...

many thanks!
Michael

Just found that also in the backend in the slave sites, there is something wrong - for example going to yootheme infinite template configuration, none of the tabs work, but rather all the settings and switches are on the first page...

Your requirement is to duplicate the master website and share the users.
You are also using cPanel as administration tool.

The pre-configured rule available in JMS to do that is:
shareMasterSubdomain.

It is assumed that in your cPanel, you have created the subdomain as described in the tutorial video 0.b slide 21-24

SLAVE1.domain.com must be placed in domains/domain.com/subdomains/SLAVE1/public_html

In "manage site", the site ID = SLAVE1.domain.com

You also mentioned that you are using the "yoothemes" template.
You also need the "Patches for Yoothemes".

Verify that the themes is defined in the list for the joomla version expected.
If not, send me the themes in the attachement of an email and I will do an update of the extension to add the patch for the yoothemes template. Also specific the joomla version.

A specific patch is required for each yoothemes template or extensions due to issues in their WARP framework.
At the difference of other companies, as they duplicate their WARP in each extension, we need to create a specific patch for each new extension and for each new joomla version.
