https://popmanga.theretailerplace.com . I know its ugly and not user friendly or all the other stuff the gurus say, but its necessary evil do to the nature of my business. I sell books and the product catalogue/hosting is more than Magento and most servers can handle. Plus reintegration of the product database into a another system would cost me thousands of dollars in man power and would all over be a ugly experience. What I would like to do. Is use Magento create a small splashy website on a select group of books. Highly Niche and then link them to my products on my ugly site for sale conversion and payment processing. What I would like to happen is when I click the product you would be redirected to the product of my choosing. Currently my link hierchy on the old site is built on ISBNs and I know how to make the links but I need a place to stick the code to make Magento go to my other database. Any clues?
There is no way to do this in most cases. There is normally NO external access to any database as it becomes a serious risk to security for the entire hosting site.
