Is prestashop team silently KILLING Multistore option in 1.6.1x? because...

[ronelgon]

Hello,

Is prestashop team SILENTLY KILLING Multistore option in prestashop 1.6.1.1x? because in the prestashop1.6.0.14 and below, you could easily enable the option to display a drop down of all shops and could easily switch among when you want to make some editing to a particular shop as seen in the screen below;

BUT In PRESTASHOP 1.6.1.1, This option is No where to be seen. If am wrong about this, please correct  me with the exact steps to enable this option

 

Another issue is that in prestashop 1.6.0.14, you could easily select a group where you want to have a specific shop created to be for example; you could have GROUP A AND Group B and when you create a  new shop, you could easily select to have that new shop to either be created under Group A or B. But now, all shops you create, reside  under the default group as there are no option to select a groups in prestashop1.6.1.1. as it was in prestashop 1.6.0.14 as seen in screenshot below

 

So, is prestashop KILLING MULTISTORE OPTIONS SILENTLY OR ITS ME NOT KNOWING HOW TO ENABLE THOSE FEATURES?

 

KINDLY HELP US AND ENABLE THOSE FEATURES AGAIN

 

Thank you

Ronnie

Hello,

I have seen the image and surprised to see.So, what are the steps to configure my shop to show the ALL SHOPS DROP DOWN? I have tried several times but without success and even made new installation of prestashop but still could not configure it. But with prestashop 1.6.0.14.its very easy. Your help will be highly appreciated

 

Thank you

Hello,

Kindly help. how do i make it visible?

If you upgraded to 1.6.1.1 it's screwed, I had this before, too.

The PS admin is quite shitty, try to do it in the database directly and see if that helps.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Kindly let me know how to configure it in the database directly. But also, i made another test site of prestashop1.6.1.1 on a different domain just to see if it would be activated after enabling multistore. But the Allshop dropdown still failed to show up.

 

Then i made another test site of prestashop1.6.0.14  and enabled multistore option and the Allshops drop down showed up or displayed.

 

Kindly help on how to over come it

 

Thank you

So in the database:

ps_shop_group for groups: needs to have 2 rows if you have a custom group

ps_shop contains all sub shop naming, id category, theme: 1 row for each shop

ps_shop_url contains the configuration for each shop: 1 row for each shop

 

If these are correct then there's something else going on.

Note that the dropdown will only show up when the sub shops have effectively been created and are active.
