RE: multiple catalogs one checkout

[joe@cyberdyne.net (Joe Arcuri)]

******    message to minivend-users from joe@cyberdyne.net (Joe Arcuri)     ******

Please elaborate on that.. confusing enough as it is... how would you config
minivend to allow for 3 catalogs/databases to share a common checkout and
cart ? What would minivend.cfg look like i.e. : Catalog entry ?

Still foggy on this whole notion..

Joe

Mysql allows you to specify:
  SELECT db.table.field,db.table.field,db.table.field FROM db.table,db.table
so you can combine databases that way. It works out cleaner to keep
each catalog in its own database; then each catalog is symmetric
with any other.  Each page, eg flypage, has to deal with
whether or not a field exists.
