Text With Images in Photo Gallery

Hi, can anyone point me, a newbie to WYSIWYG web building, in the right direction.

On the site I am building for a Local History Society we have a require for photo galleries with several text items displayed along with an image , ie Title, Description, Date, location etc.

I had previously achieved this using the Serif Webplus web building program which has a data merge facility. All the data for each image, including its path name being maintained on a spreadsheet.

As we have several hundred images re-keying this data into an Objects properties box such as that in the Unite Gallery extension is really not practical. Other Gallery extension such as the On-line Photo Album where a file of images can be uploaded and maintained independent of the page go somewhere to what I want but don’t have the option for the associated text.

So, is there and extension or an option whereby I can install a Gallery to which I can feed the data for the images from a speadsheet?

Or has anyone alternative suggestions, the functionality required must be similar to holding a product catalogue for an on-line shop.

Derek

I'm sorry there is no standard option to feed the data for the images from a speadsheet.
This is not a commonly requested feature. This will require custom code.

Did you look at the "demo" Lucknowweb has good support. As I wrote I use the CMS shoping cart which you can strip down to photogallery if you want.
But if you know that you not will use the advanced functions in this, Go for the "CMS photogallery" I'm sure you will be satisfyed.
:D

Hi Bluesman
I am looking at this The simplest shoping cart extension (the one which doesn't need a database) or are you using something else?
1) Can I somehow add to it Credit Card payment? Not everyone has a PayPal account
2) Can add pictures to the items?

I intend using it for an online restaurant order page

Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex I will leave it to Bluesman to reply on what extension he is using. Regarding the use of PayPal it is a misunderstanding that the end user requires a PayPal account to be able to use and pay with them. When paying you can simply use a credit/debit card with what is known as "guest payment" this works as the seller/recipient will already have an account to receive the money/payment to there PayPal account. Hope this helps you.

Hello,
I didn't know that.
So, if I go to checkout and don't have a PayPal account, I can opt to pay with a credit card ?
If so, i am now in the process of setting up a membership payment page and am going to use the services of a Payment Gateway provider...
Do it mean, that i could use instead the PayPal object in WWB?
Thanks

Yes.

With this you will need to check with whatever PGP service you intend to use and will it work with PayPal(accept payment) Probably the easiest way is for you to get the restaurant (client) to setup a PayPal account to receive payment.
Do it mean, that i could use instead the PayPal object in WWB?
Yes using add to cart.
