hi
i need to create a dynamic catalog (categories, sub categories and
products).
each product will have several fields and foto.
the catalog will have to be updated via internet interface. (not locally and
then uploaded)
what's the best reccomended way?
is there a behaviore / command / add-on / script / commercial product ?
thanks

Thanks Nadia. I retained the default username/password for demo purposes
only. As you can see I greatly restricted the functions that can be
performed in the admin backoffice. But yeah it's a fantastic product and the
more I use it, the more I like it.

No problems, some people are not aware that they should change that as soon
as they have a site online - so was just making sure :-) Yes, it is a
great package - lot of functions for the $s

check your www.yourvirtualstore.net
It's got everything you might need.
I created a demo catalog
www.tid.org.uk/YVS500B/
which converts to a shop at the click of a button.
good luck

I totally agree with you, YourVirtualStore is a very good recommendation.
Can be used as a catalogue product only or a full ecommerce package.
I have more details on this product at the ecommerce link in my sig, that
explains a bit more about the package with an aff link for a bit of a
discount if someone wants to purchase the software.
Spiky, I would recommend changing your admin password asap on your site -
good start with the package btw :-)

You can use the built-in Insert/Update/Delete behaviours to manage the
records in your database.

hi
i'll be using asp
i created several dynamic sites so far, but catalog with sub sub sub
categories and image uploads, ... seems a bit too much for me, i was hoping
to find a helper (utility, add-on, behaviour, script etc.)
Or at least a good tutorial, because i'm confused with multiple tables in
access in order to create sub categories etc.
thanks

I've got a free (and commercial) product cart on my site (links below), if
that's what you're after. v2 is free and v3 is 50 odd bucks.

Haven't got the time to go into too much detail, but this should point
you in the right direction. It's not simple though.
You only need one table for your categories, regardless of whether they
are categories or sub-categories. To make one category a sub-category of
another, do a self-join eg. the table is linked to itself - a category
contains the id of another category.
This should be enough to get you going.
Another example of a self join could be an employee database. You only
want to have one table for employees, but to show a manager/subordinate
relationship, a subordinate stores the id to his/her manager's employee
record. Managers also have managers, and so this is exactly the same
relationship as categories and subcategories.
