 * Dear support team,
 * I’m just making an initial enquiry into whether the plugin is.
 * 1. Reponsive – will it reshape when the user has a smaller screened devide?
    
   2. Connect to an external DB – can I connect it as a catalogue for an internal
   database we have for stock managment. I’m looking for something that can be used
   to integrate as a display of current stock in database we already have.
 * Thank you for giving the time to read my request. Here’s to hopping it works!

 * Hi there,
 * The catalogue is responsive, it should resize for all screen sizes, and the premium
   version comes with a mobile layout as well to make it more usable for visitors
   on mobile devices.
 * For the internal database, the catalogue uses WP’s built in SQL functions, so
   it would only work if your database was in the same place as your WordPress install.
   I know that a couple of other users of have created temporary copies of their
   internal tables in the same location as their WP install, and then have a cron
   script that updates the tables each morning. It’s a bit more advanced though,
   so it would really depend on how comfortable you are with coding.
 * Hope that helps!

 * That’s great, sounds quite advanced. Maybe someone has patched a script out there
   that only needs customising, might be worth the investigation. The main issue
   is that we have already built our staff database and the output is a little old
   and un-responsive. So looking into something like this that can use the old input
   staff system with all it’s intrecacy and output via a wordpress plugin. Climbing
   the mountain, slowly but surely. Thanks for your good support
