Hello Everyone,

A simple way to do this would be to install the catalog in to a directory along side your current one. Edit the database_tables.php file to have a prefix in front on 1 catalog's database tables that do involve customers.

 

Example.

 

define('TABLE_ADDRESS_FORMAT', 'address_format'); //would stay the same for both catalogs

 

define('TABLE_PRODUCTS', 'catalog1_products'); //change for catalog 1

 

define('TABLE_PRODUCTS', 'catalog2_products'); //change for catalog 2

 

Then make sure you have both sets of tables in the same database. This way both catalogs will use the same users but not the same products.

 

I've not tried this but it should work.
