I am working on a site for a client that is actually two sites but the URLs redirect to a different home page.
I''d like to have the sites share a database and checkout but I want the correct menus to show for each site depending on the products selected.
Here is the first site: http://www.safiskincare.com
This site works fine with regards to menu, headers, etc.
The second site is: http://www.safisignature.com
This site works fine unless you click on the products for details. It pulls the menus from the first site.
I tried using a querystring to pass the site name to each page and then use asp to load the correct header/menu. The problem is the tmp-productformat.htm file won''t allow asp coding for me to make that determination.
Sorry so long winded. Is there a better way to do this? For an example of how this should work check out www.gap.com. Different sub sites share on shopping cart. |

Hi Jazzbrew
Why don''t you add your logic to the shoppage_header.htm template?
This page usually controls the header of all the pages in the cart.
You can use server side scripting to query the address and show a different header based on safisignature.com instead of safiskincare.com

You could use a simple script like this inside shoppage_header.htm
<%
Dim urlStr
urlStr = MID(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST"),5,21)
if urlStr = "safisignature.com" then %>
'' show signature header here
<% else
'' Show safiskincare header
end if
%> |

Hey PD,
Unless I''m missing something I''m able to add server side script to files with an HTM extension. If you can point me to how I can do that without changing the extension that would be exactly what I need. I already have asp code written that would work I just don''t know how to call it or use it in that shoppage_header.htm file.
My asp coding is really rusty so hopefully it is just a matter of my memory being refreshed.
Thanks for the reply!! |

| Disregard my response... let me try that. It looks like it would work perfectly. |

| It appears that whomever worked on this site before me - coded the pages to not use the shoppage_header.htm file. Where can I change it or update it so that it does? I do believe this is the perfect solution to this issue. I also need different menus for each and this could also be handled via the header file. |

Hmmm, that''s tough without having access to the site. Open ShopDisplayCategories.asp and check the top area to see if you can find where the header starts. On mine, line 83 is set to display the header as ShopPageHeader.
It would be something like this: my code starts at line 79.
InitializeSystem
CheckDatabaseOpen dbc
ycatmaxcolumns = clng(GetConfig("xcatmaxcolumns"))
SetupdynamicCategory dbc, highercategoryid
ShopPageHeader <--This calls the function to build the header.
CategoryHeader
ShowCategories
ShopPageTrailer
ShopCloseDatabase dbc
session("seocategoryname") = "" |

I''m still trying to figure this out... where or what file determines the default header to be used in the shop? If I can find that file I''m hoping I can plug in logic to load the correct headers. So far I''ve looked at:
shoppage_header.asp
shoppage_header.htm
Making any changes to these pages do not alter the header of my site.
Thanks again for any help. |

Hi,
I recommend to check shopheaders.asp file. Check both ShopFrontPageHeader and ShopPageHeader sub-routines.
Hope this helps! |

Good call g3nnin
jazzbrew, here is the default code for one of the routines
sub ShopFrontPageHeader
if GetConfig("xaffheaders")="Yes" then
dim filename, affid, rc
affid=GetSess("affid")
if affid<>"" then
filename=xMySite2 & "/templates/" & getconfig("xtemplate") & "/aff" & affid &"_header.htm"
Shopspecialheader filename, rc
if rc=0 then exit sub
end if
end if
Compare it with yours. Maybe they changed the "_header.html" section to point to a different file.
PD |

This really looks like the best solution for what I''m trying to do. The problem is the ServerVariable HTTP_HOST always returns the same value for the site. I''m guessing this is because they are using masking to redirect one of the URLs. Is there a way to pull that masked URL or at least determine if the two are different? This would put this issue to bed immediately.
Thanks to everyone for your help here. I feel I am close to a solution if I can nail this down. |

Sorry Jazzbrew I was away from the forum for the past few weeks. I checked the website and looks like you got it working properly!
