phooey04 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 You've got some nice mods/tweaks in there waynex, but I'm not a big fan of your color scheme. I think if you change the color of your top and bottom header bars from the current green to silver (to match your buttons) it would be a nice improvement. I like your "Higher Resolution- e-mail" mod. Did you build that yourself or is that a contribution? I would suggest however that you move your "In Cart" button higher up on your product_info pages. You currently have to scroll down to purchase the product - it's just a bit of hassle. Before going live, don't forget to update in your Shipping, Privacy and Conditions statements. Thanks for sharing, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileSteve Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I can see you've not finished, but it's not clear if your products are copy paintings in oil on canvas, prints on paper, or what? Are they framed? What are the sizes - obviously not original dimensions - how would you pack and ship the Guernica? In summary, you don't yet give enough info to allow your potential customers to make a buying decision. But I imagine there would be a good market for this type of stuff if you can get a bit more info about the products onto the site. Good range of Picassos - but you might want to correct his name from Piblo to Pablo! Also, why only one item in "Abstract Painting"? A lot of the Picassos could be classified as abstracts. I think you need to think a bit more about how you want to group the categories in your database. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Make sure you spell the artist's names correctly. I have never heard of Piblo Picasso. And you should have Van Gogh as Vincent Van Gogh instead of Van Gogh Vincent. Should also allow people to search by artist name. If I put Vincent Van Gogh in the quick search box, there are no matching results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Thank you guys so much for providing me so many valuable comments. I will upgrade my site in the next few days. I hope you can like it more. I made the request high resolution image through e-mail myself, here is the steps: First, change catalog/includes/classes/email.php * change function get_file() From: while (!feof($fp)) { $return .= fread($fp, 1024); } To: while (!feof($fp)) { $return .= fread($fp, filesize($filename)); } * change function add_attachment() $this->attachments[] = array('body' => $this->get_file($file), 'name' => $name, 'c_type' => $c_type, 'encoding' => $encoding); Previously, it was array('body' => $file... Second change includes/functions/general.php, create a new function named tep_mime_mail(...), copy original tep_mail() function code, only one parameter and serveral lines are different: * add one more parameter $attached_filenames, which is an array, contains image names * before $message->build_message(), added function tep_mime_mail($to_name, ...,$attached_filenames) { // Send message $attached_num = count($attached_filenames); for($i=0;$i<$attached_num;$i++){ $message->add_attachment($attached_filenames[$i]); } $message->build_message(); Third, use this new tep_mime_mail like: prepare the image_names[] array while($product_image_info = tep_db_fetch_array($product_image_info_query)){ $image_names[]= DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_image_info['imgname']; } invoke tep_mime_mail(...) if (tep_mime_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_body, $from_name, $from_email_address,$image_names)){ $messageStack->add_session('header', sprintf(REQUEST_HIGHRES_SUCCESSFUL_SENT, $product_image_info['products_name'], tep_output_string_protected($to_name)), 'success'); } else { Please note, I have more than one picutres for one product, like products_id=29. Last supper - by Leonardo Da Vinci 28 Monalisa and products_id=30 another beautiful paints of Davinci. And I also used rte html WYSIWYG editor, I like it better tham htmlarea contribution. Because it's simple and works smoothly on both IE and netscape. Thanks for tolerance of my poor knowledge of oil painting, it will be improved soon. And I will arrange all my products_to_categories, put more descriptive text for each paints and re-take pictures of all my painting. Once the payment, shipping and inventory is ready, I will make it alive. Thanks again for all your generous help and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi there, It's a good start. I'm not one to generally critique logos, but given that this is a site for fine art I feel that I need to comment here... Your logo doesn't fit well with the content of your site. You've got all this beautiful artwork, but a rather, shall we say, amateurish logo. It doesn't inspire me to buy from you (I know, I'm shallow). I also don't like all the white space to the right of the logo. It looks very empty - like there should be something there - a banner or something (although I wouldn't recommend anything like that). Also, in the product descriptions I'd make sure that you include the Artists name very near the image. Right now the only way I know what Artist I'm looking at is by checking the breadcrumb (if I followed just a "new product" link from the homepage for instance). Also, check the length of your item titles. They're truncating all over the place and make things look strange. Any particular reason you've left the number of page requests at the bottom? Personally, I've never seen a good reason to keep that. Same with the Parse Time. Unless they add something truly useful to your site visitors I'd dump 'em. I'd recommend eliminating some of the white space in the product description page between the "Reviews" and "In Cart" buttons and where the image of the product displays. It feels like there's something missing otherwise (although this doesn't seem to be a problem for every product - not sure what's going on there actually). Also, in your footer, your site isn't copyright to OsCommerce. It's Powered By OSC, but not copyright to them - just a little pet peeve... I like the tan in your color scheme. Surprisingly, the silver buttons don't bother me with it. But the light green seems a little out of place to my eyes. Maybe a darker version of the tan? You don't want to compete with the colors in the paintings... Other than that, it's a fairly generic OSC site. It's not bad, but it doesn't stand out much. Keep working on it. It's probably fine to launch as is, but my philosophy is that you should never stop working on improving your site. It'll make things more interesting for your repeat visitors at the very least ;) I like your mod for emailing a higher res image. Nice job!

Guest Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Hi there, I just updated my web store recently, mainly on page layout and color scheme. And other features, like: * slide show * categories tree Hope you will like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodo Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I agree with Laura the operadiva regarding the logo. Perhaps a simpler font with no extra treatment. Also I would try changing the black header and footer to a charcoal grey and see if that is not more pleasing. The black fights with the eye for attention. And all attention should be on the art. Also drop the yellow text color for the same reason. 2 cents please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 You have no images on your site And while were at it what's the point of no right click when I can just view your source and see this directory? <img name="mainImage" src="masterpiece/Van_Gogh_Vincent/medium/autumn_landscape_1885_XX_fitzwilliam_museum_cambridge.jpg" align="center"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I just went to www.alisier.com/osc22ms2 and I see the much better site, the one I looked at first (http://www.alisier.com/alisierweb) was horrible but that is really really nice. However the right click is still useless as you can see below. I read your source code and found the image location at Pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
