How do i have more than 1 store on one website?

Hi all,

I am new to zencart.

I am using v1.3.9h and it is a brand new install, I was just about to start using it and came accross this issue. I basically wish to create several different templates on one website.

For example:
Restaurant template
Scaffolding template
Furniture template

It is probably really easy to do and can be achieved from the admin panel as seperate databases or something like that but as i am new to zencart i am not sure.

Could somebody please help me.

Thanks

You're going to sell restaurant supplies, furniture and scaffolding from the same store ?

Re: How do i have more than 1 store on one website?

No, i was just giving these as examples of different Template websites offered from my site

I have a friend who has given me the answer to this. To have more than 1 shop on 1 website all you have to do is when you go to download the zencart it asks for a "install in directory" which it then in turn creates.

So for this example if i wanted separate shops i could just put the separate shop names in here as in

Shop1
Shop2
Shop3

but i would have to install zencart 3 times in these different directories but at least it keeps everything separate as i would want.

Thanks all

I don't know if it works with the latest version of Zen Cart, but take a look at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=563
