selling photos using EShop was created by Greg
Hello, I am considering if I can use EShop for selling photography as downloadable products (photos in electronic form with different type of licences) and as physical products (prints with different size) and I have following questions:
a) Is it possible to show the products in a photo gallery way (for example visualization like stock.adobe.com/pl/search?load_type=sear...ntent_id=&k=new+york ) ?
b) Is it possible to allocate to one photo different type of “products” – for example one photo will be sold as licence type A – price A, licence type B – price B, print format C – price C, print format D – price D – it means if I push “add to the Cart” certain photo I should have possibility to choose relevant product based on selected photo
c) Is it possible to add predefined watermark on presented photos for selling ?
d) Are they thumbnails are created automatically or there is a need to import separately small size photo (for presentation in the shop) and full size photos (for download downloadable product) ?
e) Is it possible to manage downloadable options - to limit number of downloads and setup time limit access ?
f) Is it possible to tag / categorize photos for extended search (for example: by Category: Landscape, by Place: Rome, Italy, by format or by other Tags: Trip, Vacation, Navona Square, etc.) “
g) What kind of product search (on our case photo search) is possible – by categories by other tags ?
h) What type of sorting method is possible after search results are displayed – for example most popular author ? best sell ? fresh ? how photos can be sorted after search ?
i) Is it possible to manage photos by the author ? for example the author after login should have access to his photos and should have possibility to modify categories/tags or to delate photos
regards,
Greg

A) If each photo is a product yes, there is a built-in menu item to display all product in the store on a single page and this can be assigned as a menu item in your joomla menu system.

B ) yes the options system is pretty robust. For instance, i have products with a dozen options, "assembled, assembled and painted, size l/m/s, color red/blue/green etc.

C) I dont think Eshop has that built in, but this is something best handled with ImageReady or Photoshops batch function anyway.

D) thumbnails are created, with on-click popups for full size images

e) You can limit the number of downloads, but not base don time limits. For instance you can slect to allow it to be downloaded X number of times, but once purchased that product remains in the customers "downloadable products" list and will only stop allowing downloads once the "download X number of times" limit is reached.

F) Each product has a "tags" field to add tags for your products. These tags are searchable

G) Currently is will filter by price, category or keyword and tag

H) It gives the search results in an alphabetical list either in grid or list format.

I) Short answer No. This can be done with Joomla permissions however, but thats a whole nother forum post.
