Hi Paul,

We have an FAQ on how to set up multiple sites to run from the one database.

In version 650 we will also have the ability to have a product appear in multiple sites or all.

Currently it works so that a product can only appear in one or all sites.

http://www.vpasp.com/helpnotes/shoptocdetail.asp?id=602#788

Basically you create 3 folders for example and call them shop1, shop2 and shop3. You can name these whatever you like, these are just for example.

In the database you need to make a copy of the configuration table for each site you will be running and update the shop$config.asp file to point to the relevant config table.

In the shop$config.asp in each site in xproductmatch you insert the name of the folder.

Make sure the xshopid is different in all folders as well.

In the online set up switch xproductmatch to Yes for the sites you wish to limit the display of items in.

Now when editing products and categories you need to insert the name of the folder into each record.

This will now hide items unless they match the settings in the admin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Cam
