The e-commerce.

Two stores, one database, two config files?

Hi have two 'stores', actually one catalog with just productinformation (it isn't possible to order from this site, no add to cart buttons, no prices, just pictures and descriptions). This is a oscommerce store, but just very modified.

 

The other site (which I'v just set up) runs on the same database, but has all the oscommerce functionality and people can order from this website. But now I want to show prices, quanity in the product listing. Except that's not possible, beacause in admin I've set the configuration to not show these details.

 

It is possible to use a second, different named, configuration table in the database which gives the configuration for the second, new store?

 

I know that there is a contrib for multiple stores (which I have used in the past en is a great contrib!), but my first site is to heavily modified and I don't need different products in different stores, I need excactly the same products in two different stores.

 

How should I go about this?

 

Any information is very welcome!

Look for a contribution called Multi_stores http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ch,multi+stores - this allows you to have a number of stores working off the same database but you can configure each to your own requirements

yes you can use another table lets say configuration2 and make the code changes to use this table or add extra entries to the existing table again calling them with _2 on the end so as to differentiate then make the code changes to call these field entries.

 

The process is a bit involved.
