I need a solution for putting our flyers into osC

[yatahaze]

We run 10 page flyers once a month, and so far we've just been converting them to html for online viewing. I would like to somehow put them into osC so customers can shop through the flyers online and add items to their cart instead of going back and fourth looking up items from our flyers.

 

Can anyone think of a way I can do this, like a contrib that can create a custom page of items, or one that has something in it I could use for the same purpose? I've looked through the contributions and I can't find anything for specifically that purpose.

I guess I could make a copy of the specials page and try and make my own query that shows only items in a flyer. I know almost nothing about php so this would be hard.

Had an idea - how about creating a new category "current flyer" (or probably something snazzier) and then copy the relevant products into the category? From what I remember, you can have an item in more than one category, and that would give you a quick fix without any coding.

 

Second thought - there are contributions for "featured products", mabye they can be adapated to your needs. Would involve some PHP/MySQL though.

 

all the best, Terra

Duh! A new category! Not sure why I didn't think of that. Probably because I import all of my items from another database and never manually create anything.
