Dhananjaya Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Summary to clear things up: Realtionships: Many Products = Many Distributors = Many Warehouses = Many Qty = Many Skus = Many Costs Many Products = One Manufacturer Number The Warehouses also will be scattered all over so address information might be nice to creat distance relationship with the customer.

Right on! :thumbsup: But I think it's too much to ask of Ryan since the contribution does what he needs and he doesn't need it to do what we need.

Dhananjaya Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi all, just a quick qestion. can this contribution share one shopping cart? thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, the way it works is that you have two installations of osc in two different folders on one domain or two separate domains as you like and they both refer to the same database. Of course you can do this without multi-stores if you want both stores to be identical. i.e. mirrors. What multistores does is allow you to configure each store to have different store differently, i.e. everthing in the store configuration can be different. And you can also choose which products appear in each store and which manufacturers. The two things that are inseparable are customers and inventory. A customer of one store is a customer of all stores and when you sell an item in one store it depletes the common inventory for that item. If anyone sees anything that could be added to clarify further; have at it. Quote I have moved on from oscommerce to magento and no longer monitoring this site.

Guest Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 problems... 1. I copied the store files except the admin to a new folder called molly. I do not understand what I am suppose to do here: For each copy you make you will need to correctly re-configure /includes/configure.php and includes/database_tables.php's TABLE_CONFIGURATION value (to the value specified in admin store creation) 2. In the store admin when trying to create an administrator after I am logged in as super_admin I get this error: Error: Account not created. Must give access to an area and a store. Can you help please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the store admin when trying to create an administrator after I am logged in as super_admin I get this error: Error: Account not created. Must give access to an area and a store. Can you help please? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> problem number one.....you have to edit the configure.php file first several lines need to be pointed to right place for new store..... in the below example the main store is in the top level public_html directory and the new multi-store store is in a directory called "osctest"...just substitute your directories and paths in the configure.php file: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://ptah.us'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ptah.us'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'ptah.us'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'ptah.us'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/osctest/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/osctest/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/osctest/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/osctest/'); and change one more line a little futhur down..... define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/tahuti11/public_html/osctest/'); and i think you can leave the rest of that file unchanged? for prob 2 create a store first?

I do not understand what I am suppose to do here: and includes/database_tables.php's TABLE_CONFIGURATION value (to the value specified in admin store creation) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh and for the above part you need to edit the database_tables.php file changing the line: define('TABLE_CONFIGURATION', 'configuration'); to: define('TABLE_CONFIGURATION', 'thenameofyour2ndstoreconfigtablehere'); in install step 4 you "Create store by clicking on "Store" link on left hand side. Click "Insert". 'Store Name' & 'configuration table' are required fields." whatever name you used for the 'configuration table' above for your new store must be put in in place of 'thenameofyour2ndstoreconfigtablehere' later hope that all made sense.....

If you could help me with this one I would appreciate it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well i dont know anything about symbolic links but i have seen hobbzilla reference to them in this thread somewhere so you might check that you are applying the symbolic links properly.......or maybe you could just define the 2 "Images Path" lines in step five of the install: "Administration->Configuration->Multi-Stores. (this information used to be in admin's configure.php)" ... define them to point to your main stores images directory....thats what i do and works fine i think if you dont need different looks for different stores.....

soodanim Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Found out my problem If there is no image name included all the other details aren't uploaded? Is this just normal? I have just slotted in a default.jpg until I have images for now. Anyone sorted out the customers per store, ie they can't just log into any store only one they are assigned too?

Should I just remove the symbolic link on the server and upload the images to the molly store? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that sounds like it would work but what i meant is that your lines: Store Catalog Website Images Path http://www.designhosting.biz/molly/images/ Store Catalog Filesystem Images Path /home/httpd/vhosts/designhosting.biz/httpdocs/molly/images/ could read: Store Catalog Website Images Path http://www.designhosting.biz/images/ Store Catalog Filesystem Images Path /home/httpd/vhosts/designhosting.biz/httpdocs/images/ if thats where your main store is......if that makes sense......just pointing your whole molly site to the main stores images rather than the molly images directory......

hobbzilla Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Melinda, It appears that your symbolic link has not been setup properly. I went to the site and it was giving me permissions problems. You can alternatively put the images in the molly folder and double check that they work and then work on some sybolic links to try and troubleshoot that portion of the site. I personally don't use sybolic links on the images directory but the images/dvd & images/microsoft because each store has it's own unique look that has images stored in /images/ so my symoblic links are folders within images.. but this shouldn't matter.
