Hello David!
Perhaps this is a bit overkill, but I'll give it a shot.
I'm creating a multi-lingual site for a client, but to avoid duplicating all the files for each language I'm using domain aliases (.en and .it for english and italian version sites) and extract the "en" and "it" into a PHP variable that I then can use to call the translate.php files (I made two. translate.php and translate_it.php. When a user visits it.website.com the translate_it.php is called).
It works wonderfully! BUT, I also want to use the technique so that different feed folders are used depending on which "fake" subdomain that is visited. I created an extra feed folder (feeds_it), duplicated all database tables and renamed the new ones to "pt__itproducts" "pt__itfeeds" (double underlines) etc, and modified config.php so that different table prefixes are used depending on which language that is used.
$config_databaseTablePrefix = "pt_".$lang;
I've also modified feeds_register_step1.php and feeds_register_step2.php so that the correct feed folder is used.
There:) Now I can put the italian feeds into the "feeds_it" folder and the english feeds into "feeds" and handle them separately through http://it.site.com/admin/ and http://en.site.com/admin/.
The feed registration works like a treat, but when I try to import the products on the Italian version site, only the "imported" date is updated. No products are imported into the database.
Any clues? ;) In worst case, I'll have to duplicate everything and make real subdomains but it would be cool to keep the site light using this neat trick:)

Hi,
You mentioned that you have modified feeds_register_*, however you didn't mention includes/admin.php which would also need modification in this case as the following line (393) references the feeds directory:
MagicParser_parse("../feeds/".$admin_importFeed["filename"],"admin__importRecordHandler",$admin_importFeed["format"]);Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
