For each separate vendor, I create a new folder and place it in the same folder as the WebSTAR application as well.All the database files and template files for a particular vendor go directly into that vendor's folder, not into any subfolders. Other files related only to that vendor are placed in separate folders which reside inside that vendor's folder - example, all the image files for a particular vendor are placed inside an images folder which resides inside that vendor's folder.Using this technique, it is very easy to keep almost everything related to a particular vendor inside that vendor's folder. The only exceptions are the Shopping Carts and Orders folders which reside inside the WebCatalog or WebMerchant folder and are used by *all* the different vendors on my site.Sincerely, Ken ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------
