RE: [mv] how I can dynamically generate "Routes" for each item?
****** message to minivend-users from "Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com> ******
I think do what you are asking all in data. I am not sure what you mean by
routes, but if you treat each vendor like most stores treat catagories it
show work. For example, in the simple demo replace renaissance,
impressionists, americana, surrealists with vendor1, vendor2, vendor3,
vendor4. Each vendor could even each have their own ProductFiles.
