texte = Hi, I'm bringing a webstore online (http://www.rdi.nl) for a computer distributor in the Netherlands. It has to go online thursdaymorning.I have everything working with WebCatalog, but have a few questions left. Maybe someone would be willing to share his experience with me, so that I will be able to implement some more things before the deadline. And maybe some of you would like to go in coming thursday to have a look and give some suggestions how I can change things for the better (sorry! text will be in Dutch, but you can get a general picture of setup by visiting).Questions left:(1) This customer would like to change his online databasefile every x days. I would like to setup a 'maintenance webpage' for this customer on which he can give a command to commit/close the database(s), so that he can upload another file. Is there anything I should think of and is there anybody who has any suggestions on how to do this the best way. What about people coming in to the website just after closing the database and before uploading the file. Is there a best way to go.(2) Dealers will be allowed in on a special site 'for dealers only'. I would like to give the customer a possibility to add users to a specific group (with access to the restricted site through the [protect groupname] tag) through the same maintenance webpage. New dealers can then be given permission on a per dealer basis. I know this should somehow be possible, but I don't know how to go about. Again, it's one of my first websites with WebCatalog.(3) I'm still having problems (while testing) with the Emailer application. I get error messages number 151 with a timeout on the connection with the mailhost. I'm running Emailer on the same PowerMac 9500/200 as EIMS and have no (performance) problems with EIMS whatsoever. A suggestion was given some time ago to write directly to EIMS and not to use the Emailer app, but this has not worked out to a working setup and I have no idea if anybody got this working. Any help would be appreciated.(4) Last question is that this customer would like to use cookies. Is there anybody that has implemented cookies with WebCatalog 2.1 (Mac) and would like to share some of his code with me or give some tips on how to set it up. It's new for me and I would like to get this running like the Amazon.com website where customers who return are known and don't have to fill in any customerinformation. Through 1-click shopping they can order easily.Thanks for the help. John ter Welle ter.welle@lettrix.nl Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
