oscommerce syncing

[ianr19]

I have just purchased the oscommerce manager and have an existing store. I would like to download my oscommerce store to the manager. Can you say how i go about doing that?

You don't need to download your store to ordered software.
You should setup the Database connection. See this for more details - http://support.magneticone.com/1/1/s...scommerce.html

Hi,
Few more words to add...

Actually being connected directly to Store Database you do not have to download something - after program started it will show allow your products and allow to edit them. All changes will be applied immediatelly directly to your store.

If you want to use PHP MySQL bridge connection there are two procedures to retrieve (download) data from store to local computer and post (upload) data from local computer to store.

For more information about bridge as well as direct database copnnection check our support website http://support.magneticone.com, use search function to find required article.

Also use this connection troubleshooter:

I am having a problem in that case. I am connecting to my database in the configuration but i am only seeing the sample products which came with the software....computer supplies, mac desktops, pc desktops etc.

how do i get to view my products?

Since you can see some data I assume you are connected to embedded database.
In order to retrieve (download) your data you have to run "Get Data from Web" command, see in main menu Tools -> Database Bridge

But remember that bridge must be configured properly in preferences.

In short you have to upload bridge.php file to your store home directory, change login and password in it and configure bridge url, login and password in preferences (Tools -> Preferences -> POHP MySQL Bridge)

For more information on how to configure bridge connection check that connection wizard - see my previous post
