Re: WebCommerce: Folder organization ?

texte = >We're trying to set up our WebCommerce folder hierarchy so that it will be logical even as we add catalogs. What we're currently thinking is that we'd use the following:Probably the simplest place to put all your different catalog1-N folders is right at the root of your WebSTAR folder (to keep the URLs as short as possible). It doesn't matter where WebMerchant is located, because it's not a CGI -- the only important thing is to 'point' your WebMerchant preferences at the Orders folder of whichever store you want WebMerchant to watch.There's a licensing issue here: you only have license to run 1 copy of WebMerchant, so you can only run one store that has fully-automatic credit card verification. All your other stores may use WebCatalog2's email capabilities to send out purchase notifications, but they will not have the ability to 'run' credit cards. They can take the orders and place them into an 'Orders' folder, but until you get more WebMerchants installed you can't fully automate those stores.>Just writing that brought up another question; is the location for catalog references relative to the WebCatalog.acgi (since that's what we are using, not the plug-in) ?No, templates are all WebSTAR-relative just like like URLs are. Both plugin and CGI work the same, so you can switch back and forth.I know this licensing may be a little confusing here, so that's why I want to talk about it in the public list so everyone can hear about it.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
