Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Hi, I believe soho will only install into a root directory & has to be created IE:…..

www.mysite.com this = a route directory (your normal site)
www.mydirectory.mysite.com this = a sub domain which = a root directory. (could be the store)


www.mydirectory.mysite.com/newfolder/ = a sub directory. (Cant be installed)
www.mysite.com/newfolder/ = sub directory/. (Cant be installed)

Hope I have this right for soho..

Good luck.

Yes, for an addon domain you will need a new domain name.
Follow the steps in the cpanel for the addon domain, it creates the folder for you! No ftp there.

Then you would install soho into that public html folder in the NEW domain name and then you would figure out what you want your passwords to soho etc to be. You dont want to install it in just the public html as that would over write what you have as the main domain.

You dont need to ftp anything to do this if you use fantastico to install soho to the new domain, just tell it in the drop down where you want it installed to, and make sure its the SINGLE version of your domain and not the newdomain/maindomain one

Now I'm REALLY confused, as if I weren't already. Please explain the difference between NEW DOMAIN vs SUBDOMAIN and if I set up a NEW SUBDOMAIN NAME on my site, would I later be able to convert it to just a NEW DOMAIN at a future date. Thanks in advance.

The Term is the difference. And you can .com or .net and addon domain but a subdomain will always be www.subdomain.maindomain.com.

If you need more info do a search on google or wikipedia.com or the glossary or faq on voda host.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

My domain name is: thebestvacuumsiteever.com

I have my BlueVoda template page all designed and ready to be published, and I need to know how to upload it to work with SohoLaunch. What file format does it need to be in? Step-by-step instructions are needed badly.


Allow me to extrapolate.

I've designed a killer template in BlueVoda. What I really want is to take this template and upload it to the SohoLaunch template manager, but I have no idea how to do this, and the instructions on the SohoLaunch site are not of much assistance--nor are the tutorials. I don't know very much about publishing websites, so any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

You can't is the simple answer. You need to design the killer template to work with soho and to do this you need to read up on customizing the template, in the manual, on the soho launch forum, and the soho wiki. Ive posted the links in half dozen threads here as well.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

I think I've made a complete mess of things. I first created my web site using bluevoda. I thought that when I get soho I have to recreate the entire site, which I did. Now I have bv and soho on my computer. I'd like to keep my bv web site and somehow incorporate the shopping cart into it. How do I go about doing this? I'm at a complete loss now.

Well then use an addon cart like Cart Manager.. available at a discount thru Bethers or use Mals Ecart which are both copy and paste buttons similar to paypal but allow you to use a credit card processor and merchant account.

Also.. if you use Authorize.net you can now make buttons thru them that processes directly thru them.. for up to 100 products.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Will I have any problems doing it this way????.....
I would like to build my main domain using BlueVoda as a Free visitors half of my site then use links to Soholaunch to a membership signup page and the Soholaunch would be pages for members only. So basicly it would be sorta like 2 different areas of my site.
Will this idea work before I go trying it and find out it don't????

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Yes.. it can work like this.. no problem.. you can even do menu links on soho back to the main form. You just have to install soho on a subdomain..or addon domain.. they cant exist in the same folder.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Can someone help with this. Is Soho suitable for the ecommerce end of an online ticketing website?

[Karen Mac]

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

It depends what kind of ticketing. If Travel.. no.. theres too much involved and there is specific softwared developed for the travel industry.

If you are speaking outside the travel industry.. then maybe.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Thanks. I just realized one can install Soho on either addon or subdomain.
