Olivia Fermi Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 OScommerce looks like maybe the tool for me? I have a few domains, all pretty basic. Currently they are more like brochures. I want to add e-commerce. Even more important, I want a nice photo gallery as I am a professional photoartist. And I am a writer and executive coach. So communication is tops - easy to use e-newsletter function, easy to change posts, easy to create, rename, upload to, publish and destroy galleries. Whatever I choose, I need wysiwyg to see the images I'm working with on the server. What do you think is best cms for my situation? -Olivia Fermi, M.A. A.B.S., ConRes Cert

Because if just showing your portfolio of photos, you can think about gallery2

Thanks in advance :thumbsup: Gallery 2 is a standalone open-source gallery system distinct from oscommerce. It contains it's own checkout and direct-to-print systems for print ordering. http://gallery.menalto.com/
compultion Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I am looking at the doing something similar, selling photographic prints but the slick look of the site is all important to me and i would like to use uk paypal payments pro so my options are pretty narrow. Hence oscommerce seems like the right shop but figuring out how to get a cool look has not been any fun so far, i have downloaded sts a html template system add on, but beware it creates a whole lot of new problems too. i just took a look at gallery 2, it is simple but not so "buyer" friendly and it does not support uk paypal pro.... has anyone done this already? i would love to see some top class running photo-galleries in oscomerce maybe i could get some ideas of what is poss, i took a look at the showcases but there are no previews and most of the ones i looked at were very ruff or standard(ish)... I wish you well Olivia, but i have put 60 hours into this right now and am not looking at anything pretty.... Chris
