Quote:In this video we showcase one of the more powerful Magento features, the ability to manage multiple Online storefronts from a single administration panel. This functionality allows an online merchant to centrally manage all facets of a business from one location, while selling through multiple online stores.
The first video goes through the basics of creating a completely separate website within the Magento installation, to be controlled from the same admin. Below are the necessary steps to do this, carried out and recorded on the 0.9.17740 version of Magento:
* Step 1: Creating a new folder for second website, copying index.php and .htaccess, necessary change of code to index.php
* Step 2: Creating a new root category for the second website
* Step 3: Creating the website in the admin, along with a store and store view
* Step 4: Configuring the URL structure of the new site
* Step 5: Adding categories and products
* Step 6: Associating products with the new website
