Carl,  I am just beginning to understand multi-store setup myself.   But I do know that you can set up users for each store and restrict those users to what they can access.

It is found in System > Users   and then you can setup User groups and/or users.

That gives the Master Admin control.

Additionally you can control any of the categories, products etc  by either having the checkbox for the store on or off.
So if you have product 1 and select Store A and Store B,  both will see product 1,  but they can each set their own pricing.
If you have product 1 and only select Store A,  Store B won't see it in their products listing.

Now what I am still looking to figure out is if Store A sees there is  Store B in the dropdowns.  I think they do,  but haven't tested completely yet.

Hope this helps a bit.

In regards to  "Google Translate API 2" extension, Google says it is only available as a paid service.  Important: Google Translate API v2 requires billing information for all accounts before you can start using the service. To sign up for billing, sign in to the Google APIs console and click the Billing tab.   Seems like that detail should be disclosed in the extensions description prior to purchasing.

There also seems to be a Google Website Translator which is free.  Is that what is installed in Abantecart currently?
If so,  why would one want or need to move to the paid service? 

Ok  I've attached a screen shot of my settings:

Note - that there is nothing in Text Translation Box except 'Copy Source Language Text'

I tried editing
Home :: Languages :: Edit  Language - Español
I tried loading (button at the bottom)

I don't see where to get the Google API for Espanol,  it doesn't appear in the extensions store - so maybe directions to how to do that will solve the issue.

If I put something in fresh (not edited)  I get both English and Espanol,  but edit doesn't seem to function correctly.

I am missing something -  I just don't know what

Thanks for keeping at it.

By accident  I actually clicked on the graphic rather than the "view larger Image" link under the graphic. 

All is well if one clicks on the graphic.   I have reported the issue to Algozone in case they want to fix it.

Thanks for trying to help. 

Ok,  I found the language settings,  it looks like some things translate - others do not.

For instance,  I changed the Testimonials Block (on the footer of the html5 template) on the English -  to Events and changed the text. but when I switch to Spanish it is still Testimonials, but in Spanish.

On the Categories -  I changed one on the demo cart,  the English is presented on both languages?
I added some description in the category -  it shows up on the English home page,  it shows up in English on the Spanish Edit pages,  but doesn't show at all on the Home page when Spanish is selected. 

How to I get all those places to translate?  How do I get it to be consistent in where it translates?

I seem to be having difficulty getting the correct settings to get edits to work across selected languages or perhaps I don't understand what exactly the language translator works.

  Do I have to edit everything in both languages?  Is there no translation that is done automatically?   English is my primary language and that is what I want on the site to be grammatically correct.  But if the language can use a translator for the Spanish, pulling from the originating English input is what I am looking for.

I have version 1.1.7 and am using the html5 default.  I installed the demo info, thinking it would be easier to edit while in the learning phase.   It has English and Espanol installed and that is what I would like for the final site.

In changing the categories -  I can get the English to edit correctly.   But I can't get it to change on the Spanish side.

I have Autotranslate Status:  and  Override if source language text was changed: both set to ON.
I have tried various combinations, but can't get it right.

Thank you.

Small suggestion:  perhaps it would be good to add that information to the documentation at

Home > Documentation >Admin User Manual > Catalog menu > Multistore set up

Hello,  I know that the extension store is "managed" by Algozone.   But here's the issue I am finding,  I can only find Templates on Algozone.com.   So if I want to explore additional extension - it has to be by going thru the Dashboard to the extension store.  That is okay,  BUT  once one clicks on more information about an extension  it's impossible to enlarge an image to determine what it might be able to do.   All browsers,  FF, Chrome, IE  give same results   

I've a attached a partial screen shot so you can see. The same results occur on all places for enlarging the image.   

There are some extensions that I have interest in,  but am hesitant to purchase as I can't determine by the extremely small amount of information rather it will do what I want to do.   I am reporting this here since this is the preferred avenue to get to the extension store - thought you might like to know.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide here.

I tested adding a mutli-store location.   Now I need to delete/remove a store from the line-up in the admin panel and all of it's associated info within the databases.    But can't find any way to do that on the admin panel.  Directions please.

I did find another question on this from early Sept,  but it remains unanswered, so there's at least two of us who need help.

Thanks for your help -

Didn't think about that as a solution.  Will check it out.  Thank you.

Yes!  that got the spell check working in the editor boxes.   

Thank you.

Here's a screen shot to show what I am asking here.   You can see that the Description box does in deed use the the browser spell check.   But the Content box with the Ck Editor   doesn't pickup any typos -  I have purposely added several with the box.

Interestingly,  this board  does use spell check within this box 

Here's what I need to accomplish:   
Let's say list A is ALL customers (ones who signed up themselves)
List B and C are further refinements I have added to various List A customers for specific marketing purposes.
               list B is customers designated for Monday
               list C is customers designated for Tuesday

I want to send newsletter to only List C customers today,   tomorrow list B,  sometimes List A.

Is there a way within the existing 1.1.7 product to further separate the customers list?  Is it possible to make a subcategory within the customer groups?   or perhaps to add a customer to two categories?   If I add extension for customer attributes will that help accomplish what I want?

Or do I just add all those customer groups as I wish upon approval,  and then choose ALL the groups when I want to send to LIST A  -a bit of a sledgehammer approach.

In testing the new Newsletter signup  there is a grammatical error on the /index.php?rt=account/subscriber&success=1  screen
  It says -
You has been subscribed successfully!

Correct grammar would be
  You have been subscribed successfully!

This was found in 1.7.7,  html5 template

In running ckeditor in other applications - I have found there are several ways to install,  but under the latest stable version of 4.2 and maybe one or two earlier versions,  spell check within the editor is only available on standard and full or with a customization option, which is pretty easy to do.

Or as your citation shows it seems to disable the native spell checker by default. 

Where is the editor installed within Abantecarte?
