Working with 2 templates same static blocks name

Are you asking how you can modify your static block names within your Magento site files?

Hi Tom,

The static block identifier must changed because both template have the same identifier of position. Look at this:

The JM Dicento front-page uses 7 static blocks on Template:
Position-6
Position-7
Position-8
Position-9
Position-1
Position-2
Position-10
Position-12
Position-11
Position-13

The JM Mago front-page has 16 static blocks in the Theme:
position-2
position-3
position-4
position-5
position-6
position-7
position-8
position-9
position-10
position-11
mega1
mega2
footer_links
banner-catalog

As static block identifier is the same in both template i can’t duplicate "position-1". Then i mean "mago-position-1" and "dicento-position-1" but not only doing it working, of course

But aren’t these two different site installations? -- or are you trying to utilize both themes simultaneously for the same singular website?

That’s right: same installation different store.

I did in the past but i can’t remember how

That’s right: same installation different store

Just out of curiosity, why do it this way as opposed to simply two separate installations for each respective store?

I am researching a Mall structure with subdomains stores. Like: apparel.domain.com, furniture.domain.com, etc.

It work fine but want set different template each subdomain store. With non-jm templates is ok but with jm templates fails because static block of position identifier are named as same.

I created a Help Desk Ticket for you (for the JM Developers to take a look at this issue).

In the meantime, here are a few resources which may (or may not) be helpful/informative on this issue . . .

I get it Tom!!

I found my notes about it. Changes must be in:

1- layout/page.xml -> have the blocks
2- template/"#columns" html files -> have the HTML tags

Thanks you very much Tom!!

Not sure how much help I actually was . . . but glad if it was in some small way.

All the best with your continued site development !!!
