This mutli site solution works brilliantly. There is a learning curve and the issue of core file changes but the extension manages this for you and will return your core files for you. The list of compatible extensions is huge and the support is top class too.



You do need to know how to point domains to folders and its a bonus if you have knowledge of managing your databases properly. Its complicated but not complex. Power comes at a price and the learning curve is well worth it.Where else can you launch 40 sites in a day!

First, let me say that this "extension" does what it claims. With a little more research on my part I might have realized that this is ahack of the core -_ something I avoid for many good reasons. it also does not do what I was wanting it to do. I wanted to syncronize some of the content tables between different separate joomla installations.



After a short review of the website, I had thought that by making the sites I wanted to share data on a master and slave, that I could then sync data.



That is not the case. You can indeed create multiple joomla installations, but given the core hacks and the extensions limitations - a slave can only have the exact same extensions as the master - it is not usable for my needs.



But if you don't mind core hacks and can live with slave sites that can only have extensions replicated from the master, then this will do the trick. The installation is well documented and went without any problems.



I rated it as "average" because it does what it says it will do, I should have spent more time researching. I would have rated it higher if the advertising had been more upfront about it being core hacks.

I am a novice Joomla user with just enough knowledge to get me into trouble and not enough to get me out of it, but when I bought some support time from Edwin, I was amazed at how quickly he responded and was able to go through the site with me, find out exactly how I wanted it to be set up and was able to make the templates for me so now in just 3 clicks, I can duplicate my site over and over again onto as many domains as I like. This is my first review so this should show you how much I am impressed with the program and the support. Thanks Edwin!

I needed a solution for multiple sites running for one organization, with some unique backend login and sharing needs. I found the basic installation and setup of the extension to be quite straightforward and troublefree, by following the tutorials on the JMS2Win site, and I'm not a Joomla pro. But, because of my sites' unique login and sharing requirements, I needed some extra assistance from the developer. Edwin was wonderful to work with, coming up with a superb solution to exactly meet my needs. Highly recommended.

The extension is good and bad.



The Good: It seems to be a powerful extension. It preforms as described. I received a quick response on the forum to a specific issue.



The Bad: It's very expensive, almost $80 USD. This is not for beginners or even intermediate users, it has a steep learning curve. I would say I am a 6 out of 10 in terms of joomla skill level, and I found it somewhat difficult to get fully operational. After 10-12 hours of working with the extension and watching tutorial videos, it does perform as described.

First time to use Multisites and just to say, it did exactly want I wanted. I used the extension to create a web portal for a group of companies. The documentation and video tutorials are excellent and I fund my way around these quite easily. I also used direct support from JMS2WIN and was very impressed by the expertise and willingness to help. Great extension, great service. Thank you and well done.

I was feeling afraid of managing several joomla installations with the usual hassle and burden of sites administration. Well, this extension is a relief as it does the job for me and does it well. Reading the manual carefully and watching Edwin's tutorials helped me a lot to understand the logic behind the scene, but once it was done, I was on my way. Furthermore, support is awesome and blazing fast. Thank you guy for the gorgeous work!

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.

This is the first component i write a review on, which should describe just how much I love this component. It's really powerful and got all the features I need (and anyone else too for that matter).



This product is very complex and affects large parts of the Joomla Core. Therefor i recommend you to read the documentation before you get to work.



Again, great component!

This extension is so powerful once you get it up and running on your site, it makes creating similar sites easy as hitting a button from the front end or back end! Sharing data like users or SobiPro data from a master site is a simple way to create new sites that have different purposes and share the same base information.
