That's pretty darned creative! Great idea. The only thought I have is that it looks kind of cramped - maybe one column less. Beyond that, I like it. Is it searchable?


thanks. It's not searchable - at least not yet - the idea is to get things grouped in the right categories and have the better designs float to the top over time. I'm going to focus on getting that right before i worry about searching.

One thing I've done is linked things from the same store designer together - so once you find one thing you like, it's easy to find other things from that same person.

And I have plans to add the ability to let visitors leave comments and rate individual designs and have the user ratings be one factor in the ordering.

Thanks for the tip about it being cramped - is there a way to know the width of the user's screen while generating the html? Or is there a way to output html that will automatically adapt to what fits? 4 wide, 5 wide, 6 wide, whichever will fit best as the user resizes their display?

Check out my new XOOPS based shopping site that just went live

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/

It's built with XOOPs v2.0.13, a modified flowers theme, a custom written module that uses a modified piece of the cafepress module, and has I also wrote some custom desktop applications to build and maintain the database.

10s of thousands of items online now, this will grow into the millions.

Just to clarify, I can run the scripts to build and install imagamagik, the problem I'm running into is all graphics formats are set to off because the jpeg, gif, etc libraries it depends on are apparently not installed in the shipping version of the MacOS. Where do I get those from and how do I install them.

And note that the Macintosh is now unix based. I just can't find anything to explain what libraries ImageMagic is assuming are installed or how to install them so ImageMagic will do the right thing. Scripts that build/install the libraries would be ideal so I can get Intel native versions that will run faster.

Thanks for any help.

I managed to get this working on one machine, but it was much harder that it should have been and it's been a while.

ImageMagic isn't installed and when I went to install that I discovered the graphic libraries it depends on weren't installed either. And it was extremely difficult to get things installed because everything pretty much assumed it was already there.

Can someone explain how to install these on an intel mac or point me into the direction of documentation that explains it?

Thanks!

I would like to enhance who's online. I would like the administrator to be able to see the page on a module the users are on. I have a new site that's pretty much only 1 module that has a ton of different pages, so more doesn't do me a lot of good in terms of seeing what my users are up to.

Images on Google?

I'm using xcGallary, which supports meta data. And while my site is now in google, none of my images are. I don't have meta data in all of my images yet - it takes a while to do all of that editing, but I do have it in some.

A search on "Cavalier Girls" should now bring up lots of photos from my site, but it doesn't. I'm using sitemap to tell google the layout of my site. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Note that I just recently moved my albums into a category. Could that be the problem?

Also, is it possible to have a copyright notice automatically inserted into the meta data either as the files are imported or as the images are otherwise edited?

selling prints of photos

I have posted over 400 photos I've taken during hte playoffs on my site -http://www.cavsworld.com - a few of these are high enough quality that I think I could sell reprints of them. Standard photos, posters, mouse pads, etc.

I tried as an experiment setting up 1 page with 1 photo on cafepress, but they took the page down. It is my understanding that I own the rights to resell copies of photos I take at public events and that there was legal precedent to support this. I thought I finally had found a solution to how to generate some real revenue from my site.

What I'd really like to do is give people the ability to order prints, posters, etc directly on the page they view them and have them collect in a shopping cart and get routed to a 3rd party to print and ship them.

Alternately, I would like to be able to pick a dozen or so images and crop them to the sizes needed to generate the various sizes of prints/posters/etc instead of doing it for my whole photo library. Those could be done off site through a service similar cafepress.

Is there a viable solution to either of these approaches given the content on my site. It is all my own original photography of public events.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I did some of the things suggested and was still getting slow responses - I then took a look at the mac mini I am running my site from and found that classic was running on it - that was killing my resources and causing me to get 7 to 10 second page loads. I'm now at about a second. It makes my site much friendlier to get that performance back.

I then put my XOOPS environment (with all of the PHP processing) onto my intel iMac and things get even faster still.
