Psiegmann Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Hello. I am developing right now a plugin for an existing software, so that it can communicate with oscommerce (retrieve/insert products etc.) I think the easiest way would be to connect to the MySQL database directly, and insert with sql command the changes. Is that the proper to do it? Is that how the OSC addons/contributions for accounting-software work? Is there a documentation, i.e. which tables do what exactly? There are mostly self-explationary, but some are problematic. As example, for what exactly is " products_options_values_to_products_options " ?

Psiegmann Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 Already been done. Read here Live edit Db Thanks, but this doesn't solve all my problems. You just linked in that posting to a software, with what I can edit MySQL databases. That's nice, but my original question was: "Is there a documentation, i.e. which tables do what exactly? There are mostly self-explationary, but some are problematic. As example, for what exactly is " products_options_values_to_products_options " ? "
Guest Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 There is a data base layout in pdf that comes with osC. It is in the extras folder when you download it. It might help.
Psiegmann Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 There is a data base layout in pdf that comes with osC. It is in the extras folder when you download it. It might help. OK, I have found tep_database-pr2.2-CVS.pdf. It's nice, although a bit confusing. Is there somewhere a page, with a more in-depth explaination?
Psiegmann Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Oh come on, people. I can't believe that a software, that is so popular, has as only documentation of the internal data base structure a confusing sheet.

Guest Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 I am developing right now a plugin for an existing software, so that it can communicate with oscommerce (retrieve/insert products etc.) And what is this "existing software"? Why do you need it? You need to explain because this looks that is going outside the osC scope. My recommendation is to use the osc framework to develop your plugins.
