How do themes/templates/pages work in a multi-site setup?

[grester]

I'm trying to understand how I should structure my sites... Do all pages/templates are shared between sites?
Because the homepage in site 1, seems to be same homepage as in site 2 if both homepages are set to "-default template- page".
If I duplicate a theme, will then the "-default template- page" vary, if each site as its own theme or do they still use same actual page file?
I was assuming that each site would only see its own pages and act independently from each other, otherwise I don't really understand the use case for this multi-site concept...

Themes in Vvveb are a static version of the site.

Homepage is rendered using theme's /index.html template.

Any change made to the template from the page builder will show on all sites using the theme.

To avoid this you can either duplicate the homepage from page builder and then use a different homepage for each site from site settings.

The other alternative if there are more differences between sites is to duplicate the theme.

@givanz I tried installing another theme and changing the site to the new theme, but when I go edit website I still see the same pages/templates from the default theme. Is this an unintended bug?
Here's what I mean. I changed theme, but when I edit website, the pages are still the ones from the default theme.

Thanks for the detailed bug report.

Edit website now opens the active site, previously it opened the default site.

The bug it's fixed in latest.zip update, you can use admin > tools > update > force update to update to the latest version.

I was on 1.0.7.3 setup from docker image, but during update process I got the following error post cleanup on add new collumn:

Unable to prepare statement: Cannot add a PRIMARY KEY column ALTER TABLE product_field_value ADD product_field_value_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => /var/www/html/system/update.php [line] => 352 [function] => query [class] => Vvveb\System\Db\Sqlite [type] => -> ) )

Permissions check on first step supposedly was OK.
Worst case scenario I could do a fresh setup as I'm still sort of exploring Vvveb, but if I'm looking to use vvveb on long term, updates need to work reliably.

And the failed update now corrupted languages I believe. On header I now have a error messsage:
Warning: Undefined array key "slug" in /var/www/html/admin/component/languages.php on line 64
And languages page now has error 500:
Unable to prepare statement: no such column: slug

Ended up doing a fresh install, forced updated and this time worked. But it still says 1.0.7.3 which is rather confusing.

Sorry to hear this, I will test the update tool using an older version to see why it fails on product_field table upgrade.

The slug column was added recently to language table to have shorter language code in multi language url, it's enough to edit the language and set the missing slug, usually the short 2 characters language code is used as slug.
