pronane Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 i am creating a sister website, one sells tools, the others will sell nails/screws for these tools. I want to be able to link one from the other in a nice way. is there anything module out there that does this? Secondly and most importantly, I want single-sign on ( kind of ) i.e. is it possible to create the one user for both sites, so that a user doesnt have to give all his details again? and that he/she can have details stored in both DBs without having to enter them in again for each one? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help! install 2 instances of oscommerce on your server. edit each include/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files to connect to the same database. you'll need to add your own custom code to determine which products to display within each domain name. you'll also need to turn off the caching controls in the admin and store session files in the db take look at these contribs http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ch,Multi+Stores http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ch,Multi+Stores david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pronane Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 would it be possible to just share the USER related tables, rather than sharing everything? That way I dont have to worry about modifying code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way I dont have to worry about modifying code. how would you do that in the code ? you'd have to have two connection strings for each instance - and you would need to be able to tell OSC which conection to use.
