Hi,

Let me help you,

for some users, transactions.gdbm needs to be exported first, to
transactions.raw, because this doesn't happen automatically sometimes.

However, you'll notice that in 3.X, this feature doesn't work for
orders with multiple items.

So, what you need to do, is export the transactions-database, and
rewrite the order-history-page. I advise you to make two databases,
in one you set which user placed which order, as the default is, but
now: create another db, in which you set the information about the order
itself, item-qty etc. You can accomplish this by just slightly rephrasing
mike's original code, simlpy use seperate db's and you'll get it to work:
I have, and it works beautifully.
However, you might find this a little tough if
you're not a experienced Minivendor.

Ciao,

-Gideon
