Low Search & MSM - Collection Names

Alex Hobday 20 Nov 2012 05:47 question, complete

The site I am developing is running on a Windows IIS server and I was running into the invalid URL issue so I have the collection parameter set in the exp:low_search:results tag.

However I have 6 sites under the MSM and when I go to create a new collection I am getting this error :

This Collection Short Name already exists. Please choose a unique Short Name.

I would like to reuse the same template for all sites. Can I leave this parameter empty on the local sites and then name the collections differently for each site or do I need a template for each site with the exact collection names specified?

    Hi Alex,

    Same question here: what version of Low Search are you using?

  2. Alex Hobday 20 Nov 2012 08:12

    Hi Low,

    thanks for getting back to me so quick.

    I'm using :

    Low Search 2.1.0
    EE 2.5.3
    MSM 2.1.4

    When I created the local site I did have some issues with entry data not being duplicated. At the time I was running MSM 2.1.3 and was asked to upgrade by EE support.

    Can you try and upgrade to LS 2.1.2 and see if the problem persists?

    Hi Low,

    my client bought it and I don't have the log in to download the latest. Can you send it to me if I give you the serial number?

    Update to v2.1.2 solved the issue.
