Can a customer upload their own photo??

[brighteyedbambam]

Hi Everybody,

I was hoping somebody could help me - Is it possible for me to set something up where my customers can upload their own photo to see what it would look like??

The reason I ask is I print canvases to go on the wall. I offer a service where people can upload their own photo to me so I can put it onto canvas for them. I was just wondering if there is a function where they can upload their photo to see what it would look like on the wall to give them an idea of how it would look.

I have a mock living room set up already - just need to know if it is possible to add this function in?

Many thanks in advance.

Anything's possible, but you may want to seriously reconsider this idea.

Firstly, no module exists in ZC allowing for this feature to work, so you will either have to write the code, or get someone to do it.

(While there is a feature in the product info display - via attributes - for a customer to upload a file with their order, it does not facilitate the display of that file (image) prior to the order being confirmed.)

Secondly, the system is open to abuse. You may find people uploading unsavory images, or consuming huge amounts of bandwidth as they fool about with 2mb image files.

Thirdly the process will be too time-consuming for customers - what if they want to test 6 images? And furthermore, your "virtual" sitting room will be nothing like theirs, so will bear no relevance to reality.

This seems then to be a "quaint" concept, but one which in reality is likely to be a costly white elephant for you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick response.

Think I will leave it simply because I wouldn't have a clue how to write the code & don't know anybody that would.

Thanks for your help though
