Has anyone merged projects
Like lets say the portal example and the bookstore example?
Can you just open 2 ccs and then copy and paste like cc205 or does anyone
know a better way.
I would like to take the book store and portal example and make it al under
one project is all.

make sure before you merge two projects, for example Portal and Forum
that
1/ you take the time to open each project and make the db connection
names the same,
do not delete the existing db connections, just highlight right click
and rename
2/ any same name pages have to be renamed. what I did was rename the
portal 'Default' page to
Index (that's what my host servers first), then I opened the Forum
project and renamed the Default page
to 'Forum', I also renames Header and Footer from the forum dir to
'ForumHeader' 'ForumFooter', as
these have links in and the portal also has these 'named' files
on these renames , remember to say 'Yes' to rename all the links within
the projects.
Create/publish the files then I exited CCS saved all files/changes etc
etc, and made a copy of the Portal Dir
named for e.g. : "Combined' ,
open that, and open the forum example, and copy over any unique names,
you need not copy the common files
just the page files *.asp *.php *.ccp *.html but not the sorter, common
mysql adodb stuffs, the ones from the
portal dir will do just as well.
then you need to copy the Forum images dirs and theme dirs into the new
Combined dir.
after you have done this, open CCS , open the Portal.ccs file in the
/Combined dir , alter the project settings to
reflect any new publish dirs etc, and save the project.
publishing as normal now will publish everything into a single dir, but
there are no links from the portal to the forum pages..
so you just need to add links into the portal header / footer to the
'forum.ccp' page, publish again, and it will all work.
this will make the forum work but with its old header/footers showing,
if you need to make it all uniform , you need to add the forum 'home'
and 'new thread' links into the portals Header.ccp
hope that's all making sense
