Upload Bulk files (images)

[jmacdoug]

I have a photo lab in NJ and I would like to make zencart my primary interface. I hear that it is quite configurable and there is one main thing that is holding me back from doing the switch.

I am going to be offering all of my products online that I print and sell. Canvas prints are the big one but there is one main feature I really need to work. I would need a customer to click on a category called "EXpress Proof Prints". Then they would pick a sized product (4x5, 4x6, 5x5 etc...) and then choose any attributes they need for the order (borders, imprinting, etc..) as you would any other product. Now, I would need them to click a button called "Upload Your Images" and this would allow them to BULK UPLOAD multiple large amounts of images. I'm talking anywhere from 300-800 images. I currently run a site here on my server http://www.myphotostogo.com/photoservice just for this purpose but I can't integrate into my main site. I want to use zen cart for this. I already own a bulk image uploader that I paid for. It is active X and runs beautifully with PHP.

Is anyone interested in helping me out with this?

My main website is www.newvisioncolorlab.com

I would appreciate help from anyone.

Zen Cart has a default uploader but I believe that only one image an be uploaded at a time....

Would requesting that your customers zip there images into one zip for upload be a path that you could use?

Checked your linked site and it loads slowly and I am on a T-1 link - you need to optimize your graphics for the web

thanks kobra. which site is loading slowly? If it is www.newvisioncolorlab.com it is because i threw a png up there.

i am essentially looking for a solution for a print ordering site like http://www.mpix.com

in my case the less steps the client has to do the better.

Both sites...

Yes to create individual online albums as in the other site, you will have to code an adjacent routine for this

I am just checking back in here to see if maybe anyone can help me out with my bulk uploading request. If I can do this with my zencart I will be golden and soon release my site.
