The one product to one site approach is something that bothers me too. I was going to attempt a different approach by settings up a global store and having and product that belongs to the global store be visible across all sites (using some heavy template tags). I haven't had the chance to test this with products but I did it with categories and wrote a template tag to list the global categories. Not sure how well it is going to translate to products or what sort of impact it would have at this point, but if we ever get around to implementing it (the client has had some budget issues) I'll be writing up my experience with this attempt.
Unless of course the issue goes away between now and then... On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 8:27 AM, Stuart Laughlin <stu...@bistrotech.net> wrote: > I'm in the midst of this presently.
