English and French languages.This site doesn't follow the example store provided by PCS. I was designed>from scratch.The main differencies:as we had to deal both with separated items and sets of items, we had tothink of a way to group items when you see them, when you select them, whenyou choose their various characteristics for ordering. This implied workingwith items groups and with different characteristics all the time.When you select items, you don't choose any characteristic, you just putthem apart for further drawing back. It is only when you see your selectionthat you choose the number of items ordered, their shapes, colours, sizes,etc.I would like to thank the people of this extremely useful mailing list,particularly the chief ingeneer Grant Hubert.I found the database/searching part of WebCatalog extremely easy to use,powerful, versatile, fast. I found that dealing with shopping carts andorders was a little more difficult because of the inherent models you canhardly override. Web Catalog is really excellent. Congratulations.Any advises, criticisms, suggestions will be appreciated by froufrou.com.About this problem of grouping items, this is how we resolved it :an item (with unique sku) is the smallest stand-alone buyable product.Stand-alone products can be bought grouped as a set, so the set has to beregistrated as item itself with its unique sku. The separate items and thevarious sets grouping them are affected with a common family number. Soyou can list things either by requiring the whole category, either byrequiring a stand-alone sku, either by requiring a family product number. Ithink you can go on sub-categorising the families for more complex itemsintercourses.If you have a family-photograph of three jackets for example, just givethem a common number and give this photograph this number as a name. Thenyou can perform a separate search on this family number summarizing theresults, or a lookup on the first jacket to get its family number anddisplay the corresponding photograph.I am not sure I have been clear enough...I apologise for my probably numerous english barbarisms.Thank you for your attention.-----Gilles Renoulpan@calva.netFrance> >>In doing a search for a specific category, I need to accomplish twothings,> >>I need to show the category once (which I could use the [searchTitle]> >>outside of my founditems to do this) and then show the different[Titles]> >>associated with this category, Now..some of my titles share a singlephoto,> >>so I need to group those with that photo.> >>> >>Example: I have 3 Different Jackets, all of same category yet with> >>different names[titles], but all three are depicted on one photo.> >>> >>So..
