What files/folders can be removed

Can anyone tell me what files and folders can be safely removed from the ZC 1.3.0.2 upload, so as to leave a complety blank site, if the demo features are not going to be used i.e Hewlett Packard, Microsoft ?

Best Regards

Keith

Re: What files/folders can be removed

all that can really be removed is the product and category images

other than that all the demo information gets input into the DB

Merlin

Thanks for your reply

This seems to make the Store Setup choice

If you would like to install the demo data, select yes.

pretty pointless if it is going to put everything in the database anyway. Or am I missing something here ?

Best Regards

Re: What files/folders can be removed

if you tell it no it will NOT add the demo user,
products and categories,
attributes and such

the images get uploaded automatically for the simple fact that if they tried to use php to determin the images that are uploaded you get into the issue of NOBODY

the demo sql is in the install folder and you will delete that as soon as install is done anyway

Re: What files/folders can be removed

Thanks Merlin

I get it now, reason for asking was that I have (after advice from DrByte), set up two seperate instances of ZC, 1 for demo which I have completed installation of and 1 for Live products which I haven't yet set up.

And when I looked at the Database and the storefront for the Demo, there is tons of stuff that I will not need or want on the Live Site.The site owner only has 6 downloadable Products currently.

Best Regards
