Multi-Store Setup But No Store Button!

[Michael_A]

I installed the oscommerce package a couple of times for several reasons. For one, I found the multi-store package after the install and wanted to set everything up differently. In any case, on the last install, I extracted oscommerce to a directory named multi-store off the root dir of Apache2. Then I overlaid the catalog and admin directories with the multi-store catalog and admin directories. The I created the database. Then I manually created the tables using oscommerce.sql and then the multi-store tables using update.sql. Then I executed the install script. I unchecked installing the tables as I did that manually. I finished the rest of the install successfully. Then, as the install.txt instructions say, I went to catalog, categories, products. Then instructions state that I can select what products go in which stores by clicking on the store button. There is no store button there.

 

Any ideas where I went wrong and what I should do?

 

Thanks.

I dont think that the button shows up until you have stores defined...

My post said that the instructions said it would be there. From the install.txt file:

 

By default, after you run the update.sql, there is one store created from the default "configuration" table. After updating the new code & runing that query you should have a store with 0 products & categories enabled for it.

 

Then you can go to Catalog->Categories/Products and check which stores you want that category or product to be listed under by selecting the "STORE" button.

 

I have no Store button. What did I miss?

Problem solved. VERY CAREFULLY followed the instrctions at

and it worked. There is not a button. There is a word in a header and a dropdown listing of stores.

 

In any case, it works.
