Trade accounts and seperate logins...

rainbow_pixie_star:

Yep, had the CEON thing but could not get it to work with my plugins so gave up on it. I turned it off but now just goes back to my main page when I try the link

Sorry to but in... but why couldn't you get CEON working Amy? Out of interest and offer to help if you did want some to get it working?

Yes it does have a .htaccess thing. Is that it? Would I need to delete it?

As for the CEON thing. I added a mod relating to it that let me choose the names for each of the web pages so when people see them it says mydomain.co.uk/charms rather than /edkjfskgj3934909 or whatever. I installed it but then noticed that my Ezpages would not work and I think it was the atributes that wouldn't either. No one on here seemed to know what the problem was so in the end I had to remove it as it prevented me doing things. I tried merging files etc but it didn't work and it started getting hard for me as I am not that experienced with this sort of thing.

Thank you
Amy

Save the .htaccess file to your local computer just in case, then delete it from the server.

Hi,
That worked and am now able to install. Can I ask for some help with the install as I cannot remember what I put and also what to put to have this shop in a seperate place.

Database Host

Database Username

Database Password

Database Name

Store Identifier (Table-Prefix)

SQL Cache Method

Session/SQL Cache Directory

Host is usually localhost

You'll have to set up another database, so the DB name and login credentials will be whatever you specify.

Leave the rest as the defaults.

Hi,
Tried that and I get this error...
Connection to Database failed
Access denied for user 'craftjamtrade'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Left database host as it was and re named the login, password and database name

That means one of those things isn't correct (DB name, user name or password). Most shared hosting prepends the CPanel user name to the database name, so if you call the database zencart and your CPanel user name is craftjam, Zencart will need craftjam_zencart as the DB name.

This really isn't working,
I put...
Database host: localhost
Database user name: The name for my cpanel login on my host website
Databasse password: My cpanel password on my host website
Database name: zencart_(The name for my cpanel login on my host website)

Is that wrong? If so I must have completely miss understood what you mean.

Thanks
Amy

Sorry, forgot to add the error message for you. This is whwat it says now...

Database does not exist
Access denied for user '(cpanel username)'@'localhost' to database 'zencart_(cpanel username)'

Database host: localhost
Database user name: The name for my cpanel login on my host website
Databasse password: My cpanel password on my host website
Database name: zencart_(The name for my cpanel login on my host website)

Usually the other way around. Try: Database name: (The name for my cpanel login on my host website)_zencart

Hi,
Tried that and it still didn't work. Not sure if I pm you what I am actually putting in as nothing seems to work.

Thanks
Amy

hi, got it to work, went into host and re checked all database stuff and hadn't created a new database!
Thank you
Amy

Sorry, another question...
It is all sorted now, however I would like when people link to this page for it to ask them to log in so none of this part of the site is viewable by anyone until logged in.

Thank you
Amy

Glad you got it working. Admin - Configuration - Customer Details - Shop Status to 1.

Excellent.

I was just wondering, to save me having to make the adjustments to the template so that it looks the same similar to the other site and has all the products there but I just have to make the price adjustments, is it possible co copy that site over to the trade one and just delete and adjust the items that I do not want? That will be quicker than re adding all the products. Is that possible?

Also, do you know where I go to to edit the text that now appears on the trade login page? So I can put things about this type of wholesale and who can apply for it'?

Thank you
Amy
