[ic] one store DB - multiple store frontends

Heh, your absolutely right.

Its my experience from mail lists, that asking the same question in three
different ways, will give you a complete answer.

And so it did :-)

I have now a good portion of material to work out a good solution:

Yours,
Mike Heins and
"Jerry"s

With these inputs I now see it possible to create the same shop in a couple
of languages, with the currencies stick to the locale and possible
convertions for prices with the calc method. In this way you can be a german
affiliate who likes to pay in euro and reads german, or you can be a danish
end customer, who likes to pay in kroner, but(!) wants to read in english.
Ofcourse being a german, reading english and paying in mexican peso, should
not be excluded!

Namely, as Joachim shows it, that a currency should not be forced by a
specific language just because the belong to the same category called
locale.

Thanks a lot guys! (I like this product more and more!)

I saw your "same" question in another e-mail. Why not using one store
for all different locales?
Create the demo shop "foundation"!
Create a IC page like

-------- snip testlocales.html--------
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>locale test</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>

[seti pricetest]100.00[/seti]
The locale is [scratch mv_locale] and the price is <FONT
COLOR="RED">[currency convert=1][scratch
pricetest][/currency]</FONT>!<BR>
<BR>I have 100.00 in my price field, but I see <B>[currency
convert=1][scratch pricetest][/currency]</B><BR>
But I want it not converted to other locales at that moment.
<BR>
[setlocale de_DE]
1. [currency convert=1][scratch pricetest][/currency]<BR>
[setlocale en_US]
2. [currency convert=1][scratch pricetest][/currency]<BR>
[setlocale fr_FR]
3. [currency convert=1][scratch pricetest][/currency]<BR><BR>
Switch the language:<BR>
<A HREF="[area
href="process/locale/en_US/page/testlocales"]">English</A><BR>
<A HREF="[area
href="process/locale/de_DE/page/testlocales"]">German</A><BR>
<A HREF="[area
href="process/locale/fr_FR/page/testlocales"]">French</A><BR><BR>
<A HREF="[area os28068b]"> see the item os28801</A><BR>
with L tag: <FONT SIZE="+2"><B>[L]January[/L]</B></FONT><BR>
</body> </html>
-------- snip --------

in your foundation store and try it to see what you get.
Look into locale.txt in your products directory beside the file
products.txt too.

I hope, you get a picture!
