Multiple stores with one checkout ?

[monkeybus]

Actinic is not needed but the customer is still using this Ecommerce system. Really it's just an extra step I needed to work around which took ages.

To achieve a custom category list I edited category_tree.php in includes/classes/

I changed the original sql query by adding this

and cd.categories_name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'

where KEYWORD is the word that appears in your category names that you want to show on your shop

Like this

class category_tree {

function zen_category_tree($product_type = "all") {
global $db, $cPath, $cPath_array;
if ($product_type != 'all') {
$sql = "select type_master_type from " . TABLE_PRODUCT_TYPES . "
where type_master_type = '" . $product_type . "'";
$master_type_result = $db->Execute($sql);
$master_type = $master_type_result->fields['type_master_type'];
}
$this->tree = array();
if ($product_type == 'all') {
$categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id
from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
where c.parent_id = '0'
and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
and cd.language_id='" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
and c.categories_status= '1'
and cd.categories_name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'
order by sort_order, cd.categories_name";
} else {
$categories_query = "select ptc.category_id as categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id
from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd, " . TABLE_PRODUCT_TYPES_TO_CATEGORY . " ptc
where c.parent_id = '0'
and ptc.category_id = cd.categories_id
and ptc.product_type_id = '" . $master_type . "'
and c.categories_id = ptc.category_id
and cd.language_id='" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] ."'
and c.categories_status= '1'
order by sort_order, cd.categories_name";


This is just an example of one way you could accomplish this.

Hope the info is of use

I'm trying to implement multistore on Zencart 1.5.5d (Westminster New template) using this method.

All goes well until I try to edit category_tree.php

All stores display all categories. I cannot make it work. Can someone help me?

@monkeybus, have you set the categories for each store using Tools->Multisite Tools?

[monkeybus]

No, I haven't, is Multisite Tools a module?

My bad; I was assuming that you were discussion the Multisite Module ... and that tool is part of the installation.

[monkeybus]

I went and installed the multisite module, now I've gone and broken my cart.

I'll have to rethink this.

Sorry its taken a while to reply - but I may have good news. I'm currently putting the final touches on a test store which does exactly what your after, and it should be completed by tomorrow.

I'll let you know how I get on.

I'll second the fact that the existing mod is working great on ZC 1.5.1 through 1.5.5e!
