Known Bugs:

There is a string in the checkout_process.php at line 282:

//For some reason this code causes database errors on some stores, it cant recognize the info from the database, further research needed.
// $store_info_query = tep_db_query("SELECT store_owner_fname,
//store_owner_lname, store_email_address FROM " . TABLE_STORES . " where
//store_id = '" . $store_totals[$si]['store_id'] . "'");
// $store_info = tep_db_fetch_array($store_info_query);

I could not troubleshoot the error so I removed it from the query with //. As stated "futher research needed".

Virtual Mall 2.21 with updated install instructions and files.

This is for a new installation of oscommerce and is designed to integrate with the new installation of oscommerce on your site.

These files are not a contrib to a working site.

The install and management of the site are in working order, but there are some bugs and wishlists.

Please direct questions to the forums and the support thread here: http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=244086

you should note that this contribution is for new installs only

This release aims to integrate the virtual mall with the Admin Access w/ Levels contribution ( http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1 ). The goal is to allow for admins who can only edit products for their own store. This integration is currently beta.

Note: developed on an MS2 site.

A new support thread will be started for this version.

Fixed a couple of minor typographical errors in the install file, and changed it to a text file to avoid the .doc problems under *nix systems.

Second iteration of the virtual mall. One minor fix to the admincategories.php page, to automatically pull the store_id for previously entered products.

This is a contribution to allow a site owner to run multiple shops in a virtual mall setup. Stores are set up in the administration section. This is version 1.0, first release. Future plans include more administrative functions regarding split orders, etc.
