Multi Sites
This is a product that I hope works for the project I am using it on. I wanted to run our other 40 or so sites on this but I am afraid that if I make the move to this buggy beta test module it will crash everything I have live, as it did several times today, and ultimately I will lose my job. Luckily I backed up all the data that this product blew out and used it on a sub domain that needed sites below it, not on one of our main sites that needs to stay up to make us money.

First, in the process of adding the subsites, in following the tutorial (http://www.jms2win.com/en/tutorial#jms12x-0d) it randomly blew out my main user for the master site and I had to recover that in the midst of me adding this module.

I had to add this module back into Joomla 3 times in the process of adding 6 sub-sites, I haven't added the information I need for the pages for each sub-site, I am hoping that it doesn't blow out again, will update when that is complete.

It is not difficult to set up and use, at least on the basic way I used it today. I had one existing master site and added 6 sub-sites at least the shell, and need to add back in components and pages that I have backed up to make them work accordingly.

The best way to describe this component is hinky...or buggy. I emailed Edwin and he suggested I pay for support, or check the forums. I am pretty sure I brought a few bugs to his attention from his code and he suggested I pay him more.

If you need this it does seem to work to some extent but its buggy, at least in 1.5. We will see what happens when each sub site is complete and if we can link everything up. It seems, this is the only solution to this issue, so hopefully Edwin will take some constructive criticism and fix the disappearing act that his module does randomly and work out the kinks.
