When creating a Magento multistore, can the 2nd store not just use a directory

  • 0

When creating a Magento multistore, can the 2nd store not just use a directory under the following locations or do symbolic links have to be created (the 2nd store does have it’s own root directory due to being created as add-on domain).

/app/design/frontend/default/nameofskin
/skin/frontend/default/nameofskin

Thanks in advance.

    It depends on if your theme nameofskin is falling back to default/default theme. If not then just create your own package.

    /app/design/frontend/default/nameofskin --> /app/design/frontend/your-package/default
/skin/frontend/default/nameofskin --> /skin/frontend/your-package/default

    Then you can create additional theme within your package like

    /app/design/frontend/your-package/second-theme

    but skip creating a skin dir for it. In this case it will fall back to default theme of your package.
