Is it possible to have a specific stock level in each Store ?

ie :

Store 1 – product 1 =>
Stock level of “product 1” in the store 1 = 200

Store 2 – product 1 =>
Stock level of “product 1” in the store 2 = 180

Magento – Configurable Product Errors

Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by mwehrly 0n March 28 2008

I am making a configurable product that has numerous options. I am receiving an error and wondered how I could remedy this situation. I am currently running on a testing server with the following properties. I have also attached the php.ini file for your review.

WAMPSERVER 2.0

PHP v5.2.5
MYSQL v5.0.51a
APACHE v2.2.8

This is the error that I am getting once the product page actually loads;

Product.Config(
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3145728 bytes) in C:\SERVER\www\magento\lib\Varien\Simplexml\Element.php on line 155

Also, no options have loaded in the product configuration drop downs.

Any help or explanation of why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Magento – The elusive Multi-Vendor option Can Magento do this?

Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by c0y0te 0n March 14 2008

I’ve been looking at opensource e-commerce solutions for a while and none have been able to meet my requirements yet. I was made aware of Magento for the first time today, so I’d like to pose you a question if I may to see if your solution will be able to meet my needs.

I’m basically looking for a solution that enables me to handle multiple vendors from the same platform and database. Specifically I want to have a single install/codebase which enables me to create online shopping sites on the fly as required (probably as subdomains) for clients, each subsite presenting it’s own front end (design/templates, shopping cart, taxes, products etc.) to consumers and backend (admin GUI, catalog, configuration items etc.) to vendors. I see the role of a central site as an aggregator (acting as a shopping mall if you will for each subsite), but it’s important to me (and the clients) that they are also accessible as individual shops in their own right. The idea of the single codebase/install is that it cuts down dramatically on support effort, and therefore costs. It also means I could get a dedicated server for all subdomains and just do the whole hosting thing simply, instead of having to setup seperate hosting contracts for each client that comes along.

Central to this working effectively is the database/security aspects (to seperate the data per shop/client) and the ability to present unique front ends for each shop as well as enabling each client to administer their own shop at the backend (but not having the capability to change anything site wide). Each vendor will be able to choose from a selction of given designs/templates so setup is a fast process.

I also need multi-lingual, multi-currency and all the usual trimmings that go with an e-commerce solution but I can see from the blurb on your site that Magento has all that, but the question is can you also do multi-vendor as described above?

Is Magento a fit for this? Will it enable me to create this solution using Magento as the base?
