Hello my Smith Cart friends!

I am interested in purchasing the Smith Cart Search module, as I have found the dnn community edition search functionality will not be sufficient for my store.

I have one question though.

 

My store is structured in a parent/child relationship. I have 1 parent store, and 40 child stores, to cover the wide variety of product we offer. I tried to search for a product in my parent store, hoping that it's search functionality would include all the child stores. However, this does not seem to be the case. I also noticed in the settings of the SmithCart Search module that it requires you specifiy a buynow page name. This leads me to believe that I can only tie a search module to one of my child stores, and it will not be able to search products from my other child stores.

As it stands - unless I am missing something, it would seem that I would have to share every product on my site, so that all products are available to every child store. Then the search would function as I require. However, this would be a cumbersome task, as there are already over 3000 products in my store.

That being said, is it possible for the Smith Cart Search module to somehow have access to all products on that portal? If not, is it possible for me to somehow "mass share products" across all stores? I need the search functionality to work across all the child stores. Is there a better way to go about this, than what I have thought up?

 

Thanks - Alex

Hi Alex,

If you would like the SmithSearch module to have access to all products on your portal you will need to enable the "Share Between Catalogs" feature in the Product Setup screen.

To enable the "Share Between Catalogs" feature for all you products, use the following SQL statement:

UPDATE Smith_Products SET Share=1 WHERE Share=0

Hope this helps!
