I urgently need to merge *Multi Stores & *Master Products for me.

 

I am starting my site from scratch so there is nothing else to worry about.

 

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. :blush:

Hello are you trying to put about lets say 5 to 10 stores on one site?

No. Just two, but I want each to have the master products mod, and it is beyond my ability to merge the codes from both (ie multistores and master products)

Posted

Yes. And in some cases they will share products as well. So they need to have the same admin. It is because I am targeting two totally different customer bases, so I want to have customised stores.

Do you mean with a shared admin, or seperate? Multistores allows you to share one admin, where you can administer both stores. This is important to me

each store have its own admin for each database.

 

if you want to do a multistore with one database the main admin will control all other stores

 

For and example: on my website I have 2 different stores one is my computers and other is my gift shop but under 2 different databases

I would like the main admin to control both stores.

yes, although some products will not be available on both stores. In multi products mod, it allows you to choose which store you want the product to be listed in.

ok what you need to do this

 

upload store1 like this mydomain.com/store1 then upload the second store to mydomain.com/store2 then put your second store database samething as your first store is.

 

store1 to main database

store2 to main database

 

if you do that when you you add your products on your main store then it will enter in the second store. but first before you do this you need to this "BACK UP" your database

Thanks so much for all this help! I just don't understand what you mean by: "then put your second store database samething as your first store is".

 

Can you please explain it in a really basic way?

 

And then how does that work with including the master products mod?

lets say the name of your main database is "mysql76.mydomain.com

 

so you need to set the second store to "mysql76.mydomain.com

Both of them are already set up as msql3. I just don't understand the basics of this. How to have just one admin? Do I need to multi stores mod, or not?

Posted

No you don't need Multi stores MOD just like I said when you add products in your main database in your main admin. The second store will pull the products in that database that you enter from your main store admin.

But can I select which products I want in the second store? Can I add products to the 2nd store that aren't in the first?

ok, so in that case, i either need two admins, or i need to run multistores. which brings me back to my original problem...because I need to run the master products mod, but can't get it to work with multistores.

well the best way to do it is to have 2 seperate databases for each store the way you want to do it

ok. thanks heaps!

 

 

lets say you have this:

 

Store2 admin: if you add a selected item in the main database. It will automatically added to the main store.

 

Store2 admin: if you add a selceted item in the main database. it will also automatically added to the second store.

 

Why? becuase both store is sharing the same database

That means the same with customers,

If a customer registered in one store, he will be recognized in the second store, right?

 

If so, what is the benifit to have 2 stores instead of one?
