lancaster_unik Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Hello, I have set up and been running an Oscommerce website for several months now and i have found it simple and easy to use. In my attempt to maximise exposure i have created a second oscommerce website with a different look and feel but the same catalog contents. I find myself repeating a lot of the data input from one database to the next. What i am looking to do is have a central database and then feed the two skins with the same data. (Same principle as current but less repeated work :) ) What i would like to know is 1) If i use two seperate databases is there a contribution to syncronise the key data? such as products etc....? This would possibly be the best solution as i could then set up different special offers etc... I have a sycronisation script running via an XML feed to my supplier... this updates my stock levels according to theres so i guess its possible its just how do i create it / where do i get it from? Anyway... Any help appreciated
