This extension allows a single Spree instance to run multi stores for different vendors (i.e. multi-store, mulit-vendor).
What this extension does is basically managing database connections, i.e. each store has its own database. This extension also add rake scripts to do migration on multiple databases.
You can have only one database in test and database environment.
Add the key database_prefix on database.yml (production environment) as below:
production:
database_prefix: ecommerce_
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
pool: 5
username: root
password: xxxxxx
When the request comes in, it'll make the connection based on the domain name (eg. example.com). In this case, it'll connect to the database named "ecommerce_example_com". If that database doesn't exist, it'll render page not found.
There are three rake scripts available to do migration on multiple databases:
rake multi:db:migrate (options: VERSION=x, VERBOSE=false)
rake multi:db:migrate:up (options: VERSION=x, VERBOSE=false)
rake multi:db:migrate:down (options: VERSION=x, VERBOSE=false)
