I am looking for someone to do some work creating an XML feed, and possibly some modifications to osC.
I had been messing about with a flash slideshow for a photographer, and it dawned on me that it could be a nice little earner if I could combine osCommerce and the slideshow to allow for sales from the gallery itself – see [login to view URL] for the slideshow (its actually SlideShowPro from [login to view URL]) I have also purchased the Director package from that same company which permits easy uploading of images and dynamic creation of XML.
OK, I found an osC contribution ([login to view URL],905/category,all/search,xml), hoping I could integrate the XML feed it generates directly into the gallery component (there is a parameter in the Flash file for the feed address).
I require someone to:
Create an XML feed which is easily run as a CRON job but does not impact on the running of the gallery unduely (or an alternative which generates the XML whenever a product is added/edited/deleted from osC)
Format of the XML – see [login to view URL] and the Director generated XML at [login to view URL]
SSP needs to have the link to the product page - there is a place in Director for a link so there must be a way to integrate it into the XML - the link will need to open in a simple popup without all the extraneous osC page info.
The products will be hi-res images, I need them to be dynamically resized and/or cropped to fit the pre-determined SSP stage (this must be easily editable for each client)
Each category in osC will become an “album” in the gallery
I am basically looking for someone to do this work for me, quickly – I have clients interested in this already and need to get something to them pretty quickly to demo it.
What do you think? Make any sense at all? Questions/suggestions via PMB please.
Preference will be given to anyone who provides a link to a similar type of ecommerce site - DO NOT post CVs, lists of non-relevent sites, if you do your bid WILL be ignored.
Thanks
