I've done the usual thing of trawling through other forums, but still no luck.
The Platform: Joomla & Virtuemart
The Brief: I have a client, he is a photographer, he takes 1000's of pictures at events and want to sell them on his website.
The Problem: I dont want to add each and every picture as a product - it would take ages.
The Desired Outcome: Within JOOMLA - Upload a directory of images. Images are added as a batch to the catalogue, thereby each picture has a unique product code with an add to cart button.
So Far Discovered: Shape 5 have a template called Photofolio which uses Tienda Ecommerce. I've also looked through the Virtuemart and Joomla forums but no luck
If anyone has any ideas then I'd love to hear it.
Many thanks
Garry
I believe that you need some custom component like this.
1. The component should allow you to upload images in a bulk as a zip file for example.
2. The component should unzip the images into a folder
3. The next step is the component reads down the entire folder for all the image files and create individual product records in the virtuemart for each.
This should be it.
Thanks - I found a solution, I purchased "Virtuemart Import Images as Products" - which, after a little while, works well
Thanks anyway
