Hi!
Modefying the item table is not difficult, I have done that. Shawn has
an updatet how-to wich will give you the details. You shuld be able add
fields for extra images and add that to the propper page, wich would be
the item page.(Screen)
Also there is a ID # and an Extrenal sku field in the SKU table, making
it easy to use ISBN # or simular.
FreeTrade is cool. One of it's advantiges is the way it is disigned as a
tool kit, you can easely change the look and move around on stuff as you
please.
I suggest you do the swap!
Best regards
Bjarne
