4.20.7 Multi-store Layout Manager

If you have setup two or more sites using the same database (using product matching), then the Layout Manager will automatically display a section to manage each store layout.



You can view this section in the Layout Manager page of your VPCART control panel.

For example, If you have setup two sites, site A and site B using the same db, you may wish to manage each site layout separately.

Default Multi-store section will only have one list in the dropdown menu, which is “SITE 1”. If you want to manage layout for site B, you need to enter a new name for the first time, e.g. SITE 2.
Note :layout store name, must be the SAME as xshopID



After you have entered SITE 2, you need to add some boxes to the new layout manager for SITE 2. Click the “Add Box” anywhere in the left column, center or right column that you want and select which components you want to add.

Since this is a new layout, you will also need to turn on some of the containers below :



You can see that the “Header Logo Container”, “Header Top Right Container” and “Header Sub Container” are in red. This means that these containers are turned off by default because they have no data. You will need to edit these containers and enable them (set to Yes).

Then after you have added some boxes to SITE 2 Layout manager and modify the containers, SITE 2 will then be displayed in the dropdown list after you reopen the Layout Manager page.



If you are in Site A, then you need to select SITE 1 to edit the layout.
If you are in Site B, then you need to select SITE 2 to edit the layout.

Make sure to select the correct layout for each store before you edit the layout for a certain site.

With this Multi-store layout manager feature, you can easily manage the layout for each store by selecting which layout you want to edit.

Note : Only user with User Type “SUPER” can manage the Multi-store layout manager.
