Multi stores with one central database

[Serial]

Hi,

 

I would like to have a mall style multi stores which uses only one central database.

 

I have tried with hobbzilla's contribute (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1730) but I am having troubles with set it up. I am confused even though I followed his install.txt guide. This is what I have done so far:

 

- I created new configuration tables for each new store (ie: configuration_store1, configuration_store2,..)

 

- I added define('TABLE_CONFIGURATION_store1', 'configuration_store1'); in "database_tables.php" files for both Admin and Catalog directories.

 

- I set the unique Stores_ID number for each store in their configuration table.

 

It is still not working.

 

* Please help me. If you know how to make it work, please explain me step by step. I would appreciate you.

 

If this contribution is not work well, what else shall I do to have a mall style (multi stores) with one database control for OSC MS2?

 

If I have multiple catalog folders (same catalog files with different folder names) under my web root, what should I do to let them share the database?

 

Please help me out as much as you can.

 

Thank you.
