I am a resonably proficient PHP coder, and I have a project to add a
shopping cart to a site www.worldartandantiques.com that I put together
previously. At this stage I have the product catalog online, with the admin
interface. There are about 1,000 items online.
I have written a shopping cart based on some object oriented code I got hold
of, and now am faced with doing the user authentication and tracing system.
I installed freetrade yesterday on my in house server, and I am looking at
modifying it for this site and scrapping my own code. However, there's a
couple of issues I am not sure about.
The Product ID, which is in the form of AFD01 or similar, I use is the
already alloted to the items and is not a sequential number, because I need
to use the ID number already alloted by the company. How can I intergrate
this with Freetrade?
In my catalog I name the pictures after the Product ID, e.g.,
/icons/AFD01.jpg, /large/AFD01.jpg, /images/AFD01.jpg for the three images.
That way the user does not need to give picture names. Can I continue to use
this, how can I have this into Freetrade.
Also, I want to have more than one image for each item, i.e., there will
only be one icon in the list of products, but when you go to the product
page, I want icons for each view. Art needs to have more than one picture to
sell.
I need to add a lot more fields to the items, width, height, etc.
How difficult is all of this? I can hack code fairly well, but if some of
this is just not practical, please let me know you thoughts.
Thanks for your help, and thanks to Leon for great work, your book got me
into PHP.
