Linking Shops


multiple shops can be linked to single products database

in this example SHOPA is main shop with source products database and SHOPB is linked shop (will use products database from SHOPA). Also we will create new price field in SHOPA to use different prices for same products in SHOPB (this is not required, both shops can also use same prices)

 

follow this steps to link SHOPB to SHOPA:

 

1. Make sure both shops are on same directory level (either both in ---root--  or both in 2nd level folders)

2. in SHOPA, go to shop settings, data and add new field of type 'price', (in this example we will give it name price2)

3. in SHOPB, go to shop settings, settings and define LINKED ID property, Linked ID is internal Ezgenerator page ID of SHOPA, you can find this id on status bar:

 

status bar

 

4. to use price field, set 'Linked Price Field' to 'price2' (name of field we created in step 1), also you will have to replace all %price% macros on pages of SHOPB with macro %price2%

 

5. do upload and login to SHOPA first (to apply database changes), then to SHOPB

 

end...

 

how things works:

both shops use their own databases for orders/settings, but share products database from SHOPA

some things you have to know:

- all shop settings defined inside EzGenerator and in online administration are not shared between SHOPA and SHOPB (except for data)

- if you visit administration panel of SHOPB, you actually edit products from SHOPA

- stock information is shared between SHOPA and SHOPB

 

 

since version 4.0.0.459 you can limit products/items in shopB by using "limit by" option:

 

1. in SHOPA define new field (let's call it : "linked") of type boolean

2. in SHOPA set for all products which you want to use in SHOPB, value for field "linked" to TRUE (or YES)

3. in SHOPB settings select "linked" as "limit by" option

Make borders rounded


If you like given template, but don't like the square borders - don't worry! You can fix this.

 

First of all - it depends on the template you're using. Most of them are using images for this.

 

If there are no images for the borders, do following:

 1. Open Template Editor

 2. Open CSS tab.

 3. Find and change the two properties: box-radius and box-shadow

 

For more info, check
http://www.css3.info/preview/rounded-border/
and
http://www.the-art-of-web.com/css/border-radius/

 

Note: These two CSS properties are not new, but they are only supported by IE9 and up (and of course by all other browsers).
Most of the templates are made before IE9 was available, so they were made with images, not with background colors.
That's why in many templates You will have to first replace images with colors to make this work and, of course, it will never work for IE8, IE7 IE6 users. They will see square borders instead.

Multi-user page content


Have You ever needed a place, where every site user has it's own content, and You don't need to make hundreds of pages to achieve that?
In that case all You need is an Online Editable Page. Something pretty familiar if You've used the program for enought time. But how to make users able to use it for their own purposes?

Here is the preparation process:

  1. Add an Online Editable Page
  2. In Online Editable Page Settings (tab) check "User-Dependent Content". 
  3. If you wish, You can check the other two options as well.
  4. Add from macros EDITABLE AREA. It's the key (and main page tool) for entire idea to work.
  5. You can use the macros to put some extra info, like the USERS macro that will allow all user pages to be accessible.
  6. Again optional - you can protect the page so users see only their own page and content (in this case the USERS macro won't work).
  7. Once the Online Editable Page is prepared, go online and log in as Admin. 
  8. Give the users you want to be able to edit their own pages "Edit" access to this page
  9. Enjoy (maybe better test before that to be sure You indeed will enjoy).

 

 Some extra info about the admin:

  • As admin you can edit other users editable areas. Just log in to the page and select the user. Page content will change to selected user's one.
  • Default (all users) option will change to all users, that haven't changed their content to something else, but use the common one. For the other users changes has to be done per user.
