Cheers Kevin I can not see how this is easily possible. 3 different websites imply 3 different databases. If you have a lot of products that are common to the three sites then you can look into EasyPopulate contribution. This contribution allows you to store your data in a EXCEL file which you can import into your store. It will automatically create the categories and subcategories for you.

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You have the answer, why repeatedly post the same information. BTW, double posting is not permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You have the answer, why repeatedly post the same information. BTW, double posting is not permitted. I don't know how you can say I have the answer ... the answers I have received I have looked at and are not what I am looking for thus I added to the post... Cant believe you wasted my time posting your personal assumptions !!! If I was happy with the answers I would had just made the changes and that would have been that.... Obviously if I am not happy with the contributions that people has sudgested then I have to try explain from a different angle or some thing to try to get the correct contribution or idea out of some one.........

jermcel Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Are you trying to have 1 store with 3 different domain names or are you trying to have 3 different stores with 3 different databases and with 3 different domain names? I am confused as to what you are wanting. If it is just 1 store with 3 different domain names, then no contribution is needed, that is something you can handle with your domain name registar (ie: Godaddy, Domainsite.com, Enom). You will have to have a couple of CNames and ANames. Or if you are using Apache as your webserver then you can use a mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file, but you will need to google mod_rewrite. (search my other posts, cause I put the mod_rewrite script in one of them.) If it is 3 stores with one database, then the Multi-Store contribution is your answer. Read up on it and install it. If you want 3 different stores with 3 different databases, then you just need to install OSC 3 times and create a different database for each one. Also remember, everyone here, be it expert or novice is not being paid to help anyone. So follow the rules of the forum. No double posting, even if you don't get or understand the answer, don't repost. Just simply state that you don't understand how those could help and somebody here will explain.

sonictrip.net Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's really simple what he's asking, you dont need the Multi Store add-on or any contribution. What you need is one store hosted on one of the domains you picked there, prefereably the one with the hosting web space. Then you just need to setup the other 2 domains (add-on domains) and get your web host people to redirect the 2 domains to the hosting domain but tell them you want to keep the domain name in the address bar so if someone types www.mxbikes.com or www.bmx.com into the address bar, they will get redirected to www.bikes.com but it keeps the www.mxbikes.com or www.bmx.com in the address bar. (or you could have the address bar change to www.bikes.com if you like, either or...) You only need one store with one set of files for this and talk to your web hosting people, the changes need to be made at their end in order to redirect domains unless you have access to a control panel in which case you can do it yourself using an online control panel such as cPanel.

spooks Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 One possibility is if using two domains on a single shared server then just edit the configure.php so both connect to the same dbase. If on seperate servers then you'll need to set define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); accordingly. Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it. Contributions: Auto Backup your Database, Easy way Multi Images with Fancy Pop-ups, Easy way Products in columns with multi buy etc etc Disable any Category or Product, Easy way Secure & Improve your account pages et al.
