Multi-Stores Multiple Shops Support

[lth98105]

Hi All:

 

I want to have one database and having several domains (websites) with different products to be displayed for different stores.

 

I used the contrib Multi-Stores v2.0: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1730

 

the installation took some work but things somehow are installed correctly:

I have my default and second store up.

 

 

 

what I dont understand was the configuration file? how do i make the second store read the second config file? Do i need to modify something in the database?

 

here what i have: after installing the multistore v2.0, i copy the full folder multistore to multistore2 and changed the path for in the config file for the store#2; same for picture and languages.

 

default store folder: /multistore/includes/config.php

second store folder: /multistore2/includes/config.php

 

store 1:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.com');

I figured out how to setup the config files. However, I still have an issue with category not showing up:

 

store 1: category 1, 2

store 2: category 1, 2 and 3

 

the category 3 did not appear for the store 2. I have to enable for both stores in order to appeared on store2 .

What do i miss?

Hi all:

 

I need your help: what would be the php/mysql command to allow query category and/ or products for a specific store? I plan to add the following contributions: "Separate Pricing Per Customer" : http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/716 and "Quick Price Updates for SPPC" http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3798, and "Main categories in front page" http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2125.

 

I installed the Main categories in front page but it showed up all categories not the specifics categories for the specific store.

 

 

thank you for any hints on where to find. :rolleyes: :lol:

 

 

regards,

hi,

 

I do not know if this contrib is the right for my wish/problem:

I want to have one database with all my products and brands.

Now I want to have a second store which only has one favorite brand but the categories are all the same.

Can I do this with this contrib?

I also want, that the customers can login one shop and after that they are already logged in the second store. so they do not

type in there data again.

is that possible too?

 

thanks and regards

Muecke

Is it possible with Multi-Sotres contribution to have for example 3 shop with the same products but different quantity for each shop?

[maartenvonz]

Hi All,

 

Has anyone used any Inventory Control and POS (point of Sale) package which works with multistores? Need not be an oscommerce contribution but something which will support oscommerce and Multistore especially.

 

Please let me know

Thanks

 

You can integrate your OSCommerce with either www.turbocash.net or www.osfinancials.org. The OS Financials has the advantage to also integrate with vTiger.

 

Both work with the multistore contribution. I still would like to work on getting the specific website each order comes from to allocate automatically to the "Salesperson" field.

No unless You modify the code.

Thanks Satish, but I am not a guru :(

Is there anybody who can do it?

I would have thought it be easiest just to create 3 different lines with the same descriptions for each shop. That way you can have different prices for each shop to. They will still be administered in the central admin area.

 

I would like different pricing for the same products in different shops. From what I remember having read a while back, this means changing a lot of code.

[satish]

If You create seperate products description table and change the defines for those in data base tables then to it will work.

Thanks for the replies!

Please tell me what exactly I have to edit - database, php files? :rolleyes:

[satish]

add tables.

Modify define tables related php file

 

Satish

[cannuck1964]

Why not simply copy and create three products and then keep the inventory managed for each. You should change the descriptions which would allow you to keep the SEO aspect (no duplicate content). Inventory is not managed well in osCommerce and needs work in several areas.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas, I cannot seem to get this thing going. I have installed 3 times, added the SQL fix posted by Kimmy, checked that the php.ini file is set to 4, PHP version is 5.2.5, MySQL version is 4.1.22-standard, but I'm still getting the 1054 error if I try to login with the default admin login, and a loop if I try to access it with the admin/admin login.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Violet

Hi there

 

I wonder if you can help me? I've got the multi stores contrib working great apart from one thing - all the orders that are placed are being assigned to the default store even if they are placed in other stores. I'm not sure if this might be to do with using Paypal for payment gateway?? Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Mike

[♥stubbsy]

Hi there,

 

I have a question someone might be able to help with:

 

Is it possible to install this and omit the parts relating to Admin Access With Levels and Quantity Based, Customer Groups & Store Based pricing? Or are they so integral to the contribution that it would be unfeasable?

 

The reason being I don't need that functionality and would therefore like to skip the parts relating to those parts

 

Thanks

 

Dave

[dydinadya]

satish,

i think there has nothing to do with the payment module.

because, it is all work properly.

Hello there,

 

Does this contribution allow to control inventory of a product that is sold in different stores?

 

Example: If I have 10 items of Product A and I sell 1 in Store1 and 2 in Store2, then the stock report should show 7 in stock for that product. Is this one of the things this contribution can do?

If so, will both stores show to the user "7 in stock" in the attributes menu?

 

Thanks

[Nexius]

Out of curiosity, has anyone been able to successfully get this contribution working with RC1? I have an existing, heavily-modded RC1 store and now would like to deploy a second store and utilize this modification, but even on a fresh install of RC1 I've encountered numerous errors in doing so. Thanks.

[Nexius]

^ Nevermind, I see all that was required was to delete the administrators table and then everything seemed to work fine. Gonna test it out in the next week or two, seems very good.

[stratula]

i've installed multi-store_v2.0 over a fresh and clean oscommerce-2.2rc2a and it seems it works good after some configuration settings.

 

BUT:

 

if i go on shop2 and click on TOP in the navbar it goes back to shop1, by click on the storelogo it stays in shop2.....?

[satish]

chek the breadcrumb generation code.

Satish

[stratula]

hi satish,

this is what is in header nave on shop2

 

	<td class="headerNavigation">  <?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(' » '); ?></td>

 

i never unstood what breadcrumb is - not the word but the meaning of this
