Questions

Thanks for the great script. Got my first bookstore operational at

http://www.sagetips.com/FREEBS/index.php

Two questions:

1. I seem to be getting links back to you on all pages, not just the index. Is this a change?

2. Can multiple bookstores be operated from a single MySQL DB? My current ISP is a free service that provides only one data base. I'll likely upgrade in the not too distant future, but for now just wondering if you know whether it's been done.

Again thanks. I fiddled with the other bookstore program way too long.

You may change the footer to the code posted in the release thread and that will put my link on only the main page. There are instructions how to change the footer.html template code.

If you want more then one bookstore, do all the install the same, but use a different TABLE PREFIX in config.php. That will allow you multiple unique installs on one DB.

Good luck and thanks for checking in.

Oh and your folder does not have to be called freebs, it can be whatever you like. I suggest a releative keyword or something along that line.

Thanks, noppid.

As I was getting ready to modify the table prefix in config.php, I noticed the following comment in the code:

// table prefix (If you use a custom prefix, you must edit the freebs.sql file too.)

But there is no "freebs.sql" file that I can see anywhere. Is this comment valid or do I just ignore?

Ignore it. It's a remnant from the earilier versions when you had to add the tables yourself.

Just changing the prefix name will do the job.

Thanks

Noppid-

Another question (or possible enhancement idea): Is there a good way to delete results? For example, I've been building my bookstores a little at a time with keyword overrides. But a couple of times the results were a little disappointing in terms of relevance. Is there a mechanism (for the layperson)to readily delete these results?

Thanks (again).

I can whip one up rather quickly if you can be more specific. Do you mean dump everything and start over? hehe, 6 minute rebuilds are handy huh?

Or, do you mean for a specific run? That would need the timestamp of the run to work.

Holler back.

Either would work for me...my stores aren't that large yet.

The easiest thing to do would be to login to your server admin and look at our database
and trancate it. Usually phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/demos.php) is used/installed in your server admin (cpanel/plesk/help)

That's a good idea, do all three tables though. Then just repopulate with p3.php.
