hi,
thank your for your message. do you have any experiance or are you using CPG yourself. sorry for the question but i am aware of programmers who want to charge xxx$ for just having a look at CPG to find out how it works .. :-(
last night i wrote a quick note for myself:
• user puts images in Basket (user is NOT logged in! Login not necessary)
• user orders images
• fill out form* → system is waiting
* name, company, VAT#, adress, zip, country (D,AT,CH,FR,UK) email, phone
• receives email with auth-code (valid once for actual order)
• user takes auth-code from email and enter into waiting form (alternate: link in email to activiate final order process)
• system opens ftp connection to fotospeed; new folder with order#; new subfolder for each size and subsub folder for amount
i.ex.: root/ 20081105-003/ 20081105-003.txt
(contains details
adress, name, IP, ...)
13x18cm/ 004pcs/ image001.jpg
image002.jpg
image003.jpg
016pcs/ image004.jpg
9x13cm/ 001pcs/ image002.jpg
100pcs/ image003.jpg (<- this should be a folder tree)
• if ftp is completed send email to fotospeed, oreste, customer and write info into database and calculate fees (monthly provision)
this is the main and most importrant project, i tried the plugin Photo Shop v1.3.6 wich is absolutely what i need, it makes the ZIP file finally ... only the mentioned mods have to be done. and everything should work in behind, i do not want to touch anything. people should order and the files should move on to my photoshop where they print and send the images out.
and finally the template refinement. last night i found some tools Final_Extract v2.2 and Add thumbnails to Lightbox v1.2.5 and CPG MiniCMS v1.6 wich are solving a lot of my problems.
i tried EnlargeIt! v2.11, wich needs some mods for me too.
finally system should keep open to further updates of CPG, but if i have a running stable CPG it could run for the next 2 years without updates?
thank you, oreste
