2 mini shops in one ZC install?

hi. i am new to this forum but have searched extensively on how to accomplish this in ZC and cannot find how to do it.

Here is what I want to do:

I have a graphics section of products in my store with several different categories.

I want to add another section for printables which would have their own NEW PRODUCTS, SALES, and so on.

I want to have 2 separate Categories sideboxes--one for my graphics section and one for my printables.

Is this possible?

Have you looked at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=563?

I don't use it and I'm not sure it's going to accomplish what you want.

Re: 2 mini shops in one ZC install?

I have seen that and i am not sure that is what i am wanting to do here.

I don't have multiple sites. Just one site with one ZC install. I just want to seperate the products into 2 different mini shops. I hope I am not confusing you. I saw a thread last night concerning the same thing but didn't see that the issue was resolved. Let me search it and I will link it up here.

OK here it is:

Re: 2 mini shops in one ZC install?

I am attaching a screen shot to better explain what I want here.

I have only 1 site, I only want to split my shop into 2 mini shops with their own categories. Both mini shops will use the same database, log ins, checkouts. Customer can shop from both. Each shop will have their own NEW PRODUCTS and so on.

Here is a look at what I am hoping to accomplish here.

That's what that mod supposedly does.

Manage multiple sites from a single Zen-cart Install of Zencart.

Re: 2 mini shops in one ZC install?

OK I will look into that one more. It mentions linking several sites to one install of ZC. So i thought that definitely isn't what I want. But I will dl it and check. thank you for your help afo!!
