static product pages with powerstore

hi, i have a client who requires a separate page for each product instead of using a catalog system.

has anyone successfully integrated the features of powerstore, i.e inventory control and order tracking etc with a static product page site?

i own powerstore and the web developer suite and am trying to work out if i can utilize the prebuilt features of powerstore or if i need to build the site from scratch using eCart etc...

any advice would be greatly appreciated

You can use powerstore and add a separate page for each product if that is what you want. I would still store ithe product information in the database and then all of the other features will automatically work as well.

Just make a copy of the details page and hard code the product ID and you can have a different page for each product. Then you just need to add links to that page directly.

thanks, as i am new to php could you please advise how to hard code the ProductID. I have tried using

<?php
$_SESSION['ProductID'] = "2";
?>

but have had no luck

Right now the SQL statement reads:

SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ProductID = %s

If you remove the %s and replace it with a product ID it will only show that product instead of showing whichever one was linked in through the url.

You could probably add to the top of the page:

<?php
$_GET['ProductID'] = "2";
?>
