sharispinz Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 We're getting ready to work on a site that has been prototyped with a very specific database structure, etc to keep track of it's products. We've started looking at osCommerce for other sites and we're trying to figure out if we can use it here. Is it possible for us to have a separate db, or set of tables, that contain our products and write our own methods to get the lists of products as appropriate, then as the user selects them, put them in the osCommerce shopping cart and continue from there for checking out? TIA, Shari

TIA, Shari All the code of osCommerce is available so any change you have in mind can be done as long as it is possible within the limits of PHP and MySQL!

Grtz, Arjan Gelderblom Well, yeah, I do know that... I was kinda hoping that someone might have some pointers of where I need to be looking. I'm not much of a php developer, so whatever pointers I could get would help.

Most of the retrieving of products will be done in producst_listing.php and products_detail.php but really the code is probably all troughout the shop. So you should change a lot to let osC work with two database... or extra fields/tables for that matter! Grtz, Arjan Gelderblom I think computer viruses should count as life.
