[ic] Newbie: Wholesale vs Retail

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Ian C Melville)]

Thanks Dan!

I think I will keep the same catalog but I'll certainly experiment a bit
with at least a different color scheme for dealers...

Thanks!

I think it is better to keep them on the same catalog, but conditionally

modify the site for wholesalers.  If you login as jdoe/test in
Foundation, 
you'll see the wholesaler pricing in effect (I think).  For looks, you 
could modify the recently posted URL manipulation examples to give 
wholesalers a completely different pages/ and templates/ directories
(i.e. 
a new look and feel).  Alternatively, one could just conditionally ([if 
scratch dealer]) modify the current look-and-feel a little 
bit.  TIMTOWTDI.  :-)
