Hi there,

I have been working on a mall solution over the past year, adding in additional functionality to the system as well as making it secure and updating it from pre-MS to MS1 to MS2.

so, but if I use programmer to develop via by make some program frontend for automake store by install osc each individual [/quote]

Well what I have done is use the DB to obtain different stores under the mall system.  By creating new DB tables which each store uses, these tables are prefixed with unique names.  This allows for individual stores which can all run under the same DB, and use one copy of the OScommerce project to operate the store.

The admin side is done in a similar fashion.  With re-working of the code in serveral areas, the switching is performed to allow the clients to browse different store fronts...

If you are interested I posted a mall contribution awhile back which is the basis of this system.  While the code is old, the implementation is similar for all osc versions.  I would be glad to help out anyone who is pursuing this.  My new version will not be ready for a week or two at the earliest.

My test site if you are interested is

It might be up or not  since I am developing on this site as well.....
