hi there,

when creating a slave using a template (only the step of creating the site; no J!installation ect yet)

if in the template - folder and files tab I set the templates folder to copy and leave the from folder field blank all is well. the folder structure would be:
/multisites/slaveX
/multisites/slaveX/cache
/multisites/slaveX/installation
/multisites/slaveX/logs
/multisites/slaveX/templates
/multisites/slaveX/templates/mytemplate
/multisites/slaveX/templates/system
/multisites/slaveX/tmp


since I'm using different templates for master vs slaves I'd rather copy the dummy slave's template folder. only if I enter {multisites}/dummy into the from folder field the deployed folder is being created in a weird way. the folder structure would then be:
/multisites/slaveX
/multisites/slaveX/cache
/multisites/slaveX/installation
/multisites/slaveX/logs
/multisites/slaveX/templates
/multisites/slaveX/templates/cache
/multisites/slaveX/templates/installation
/multisites/slaveX/templates/logs
/multisites/slaveX/templates/templates
/multisites/slaveX/templates/templates/mytemplate
/multisites/slaveX/templates/templates/system
/multisites/slaveX/templates/tmp
/multisites/slaveX/tmp

what am I doing wrong?

If you want to copy a template directory, you have to give its path and not the one of the slave site root directory.

Root = {multisites}/dummy
Template = {multisites}/dummy/templates

okay! thanks for that
