Pre-Order Procedures - Photo Album

[Terence Ng]

Hi,

What should I do if I need an photo album to show the new products from the suppliers to the customers? Let the customers pre-order the products (prices are not determined yet, just tell the customers the prices roughly.  Do I have to install other CMS to support it?

Regards,
Terence

would require some customization.
are you a end user or developer?

Hi BJ:
A while back I was thinking about integrating some image manipulation
packages into OFBiz so that it had some dynamic image sizing and
conversion capabilities especially for catalog images. Something like
ImageMagick and/or NetPBM. Don't know much about Java tools to do this.
Have you looked at anything like this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ruth

There was a service that let you put in one size product image and it
will rescale you images.
you can see it at the bottom of the page, where you upload the "original"
https://demo904.ofbiz.org/catalog/control/EditProductContent?productId=WG-9943
I suggest you can work off of that.

or external image processing I use GIMP.
You can do scripts for bulk processing.

Hi BJ:
I use GIMP & Photoshop often. The problem is that the average Catalog
Manager user wouldn't have a clue where to start with GIMP. I was
thinking that something more user friendly built into the Catalog
Manager, would be nice. Something similar to what the (PHP) Gallery
software has. A Gallery user doesn't need to know anything about photo
imaging - just that they want to have a list of photos on the Gallery
web page. Something that would automatically do thumbnails and all the
kinds of formatting necessary, based on the number of images per page
and other store and catalog settings.
Thanks
Ruth

yes my first suggestion is that. It has to be expanded to fit more pictures.
