A slave site CAN NOT say that there is missing patch or you have installed JMS on the slave site or you have replicated the master website to create the slave (including JMS) ?

I don't understand how you can have this message except if you try to manage the slave sites from slave sites (and not from the master website).

Hi,

yes, i started out with one website that i created just the way we like it, then i installed JMS, JMS article sharing and JMS menu button. using this I created shared articles to finish the site. So this finished master has JMS on it and from that I created all the slaves.

Does the slave not need JMS for the article sharing then? And is it a problem i used the JMS site as a master for my slaves?

I did not install JMS on the slave though, just replicated it from the master.

thanks for your continuing help so far, perhaps we are getting somewhere now?

The "Articles Sharing" does not required that JMS be installed on the slave sites.
As all the files and folders are shared between all the website, it is able to connect internally to the JMS websites definition without requiering the JMS installation on each slave site.

JMS is just required on the master website.
In general, I recommend to never install JMS on the slave site to avoid that slave site admnistrator perform modification on the website definition.

ah great i understand now. so i might not be as screwed as i feared?

So....if I clone the jms-master to a "template-master" once and on that new site remove jms but leave article-sharing and the menu-button-plugin, and from then on clone all my new slaves from the template-master i should be fine?

if that is the case i will at least have a relaxed weekend without putting in another 60 hours to rebuild the site.

thx, stefan

YES, you can prroceed like that.

Hi,

I uninstalled JMS on the slaves and everything appears to be fine now. Thanks again for you help!
