I would like to transfer our existing database entries into CS 2007. I need
some help with the concepts.
1) In the API to create a category you need to supply at bare minimum two
strings a definition name and a category name. I am assuming that the
category name is like the starter site; slepping bags, boots, etc. What is
the definition name? Do I need to create a root catetgory? What would its
definition name, category name, display name be? I am assuming that if you
call the overloaded functions that call for a parent category name this
will
create a hierarchy.
2) I of course would also like to maintain inventory on this newly created
catalog. How is that done? How is the inventory catalog associated with
the
product catalog?
3) Finally I would like to create several "virtual" catalogs to sell a
subset of the product catalog through various partners. Do I need to
create
an inventory catalog for these virtual catalogs? If I sell 100 items
through
this virtual catalog I would want the "main" inventory catalog to reflect
that there are 100 fewer items. Is this how it works?
Thank you for your help and patience.
Kevin
