Merging the products from one shopping cart to the other

[Ajeh]

This can be done, but it takes a bit of time to prepare the database ...

To merge to sets of database tables, the pointers such as:
products_id
categories_id
parent_id
master_categories_id
manufacturers_id
products_attributes_id
options_id
options_values_id
discount_id
products_options_values_id
products_options_values_to_products_options_id
reviews_id
specials_id
featured_id

These are very difficult to update if Sale Maker is used:
sale_id
sale_categories_selected
sale_categories_all

just to name a few ...


If you look at the Crystal stuff ...

How many Products do you have?
How many Categories do you have?
Do you use Attributes?
Do you use Specials?
Do you use Featured Products?
Do you use Manufacturers?
Do you use SaleMaker?
Do you use custom MetaTags for Products?
Do you use custom MetaTags for Categories?
Do you use Reviews?


If you look at the Art stuff ...

How many Products do you have?
How many Categories do you have?
Do you use Attributes?
Do you use Specials?
Do you use Featured Products?
Do you use Manufacturers?
Do you use SaleMaker?
Do you use custom MetaTags for Products?
Do you use custom MetaTags for Categories?
Do you use Reviews?

Holy moly Batman! *whack* That is just too much much .......LOL I have less than 100 products for the art stuff and over 500 for the crystals....Maybe I will just add a few products from the art site at a time to the crystal site. That seems to appeal to my step by step OCD nature much better. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! for taking the time to write this out for me. I will definitely keep it handy in case I do get brave sometime in the future. Ajeh, you rock!

It can be rather time consuming to do this ... and accuracy is important ...


Good luck with the update ...
