Hi all,
We want to create a product shopping portal that has 8 separate categories (that will be styled like separate rooms).
For example, the Jewellery Room, the Beauty Room, the Fashion Room, the Technology Room etc.
We want to create the rooms based on groups of merchants. So, for example, the Technology Room might have Currys, The Gadget Store, PC World etc etc.
At first glance, it appears that the best way to do this is by setting up a separate instance of Price Tapestry (within a separate folder and with a separate database) for each room.
It seems like this would work perfectly. However, I can see a problem with the search, as each search will only search the products within that room.
If anyone has any thoughts or ideas I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Arya.
Hello Arya,
You're thinking exactly along the right lines. Have a look at the following thread for lots more on this, and code for creating a top level search box with a drop-down to select which shop you want to search...
