Shopsite websites up and running finally

Finally!
Our three shopsite 5.0 websites are online and accessible to the world!
I have a few questions that I know have been answered before, but I don't
have the time to try and find them in the hundreds of posts that have been
made since I read them...

First - How does one change the order number starting points?

Second - how do I get a list of the product numbers, instead of trying to
search for each product on the site and looking at the code for the link
(since the jump tag is the product number, at least on our sites)? (Might
be a handy thing in the future to allow listing products by the product
number in the shopsite admin...)

Thanks!
Ben

1) There is a file called 'ordernum' in each store's ShopSite data directory.
It contains a number. The next order will be one number higher than this
number. See the ShopSite Knowledgebase at http://support.shopsite.com/kbase
and search for S02469.

2) There are several ways to do this, see solution S04174 in the
Knowledgebase.

Note also that in v6 you can get OrderAnywhere tags based on the SKU of the
item rather than internal itemnum so that if you have to wipe out the ShopSite
databases for any reason and re-create it, or move to a new server, as long as
the SKU stays the same (and the storeid and the shopping cart URL), the order
buttons will be the same.
