Error: two shops sharing the shopping cart

[HIPPY]

Hi magicpants, glad you are all go. Are you using the same admin for both shops? Don't have to have this for mine but helpful.

Can you and others please direct me to exactly what steps you did.

Assume you:

• Duplicate shop folder and rename.
• Duplicate DB and rename + import | or create new DB
• Change URLs +amin user in Includes/configure.php Amin/Includes/configue.php
• Alt folder name in Admin/Configuration menu/Sessions
• Have a coffee
• Change templates as see fit for alt URL
• ummmm

Hi Hippy,

No, I'm using different admins for each shop. I wouldn't have a clue if it's possible or recommendable to share one admin for two shops. My guess would be it could cause some weird problems here and there.

You've got it concerning the steps to do this. I had to go through and adjust a few links on my site, because I had a few hard-coded paths in there (probably not the best way to do it, but my skillz lack). The only other thing is I'd suggest tea over coffee, but that could just be a personal choice.

Best of luck! MP

Thanks MP

I have the same issue with my skills.....or lack of. If you were at all interested there is a thread dealing with the 1 Admin wonder. Seems like a Module is in the pipeline coded by Absolute, though still no time as to when it's to be finished. Worth a read...
