Quick Question

[Meilad]

Hi there everyone.

I have a pretty quick and probably simple question.

I run a site at the following address:

http://www.gamma.co.nz

Basically it's a computer shop selling computers, parts etc. I'm basically in search of a script, if it exists, that will basically allow me to completely change that site, backendwise not graphically etc and just make it so that for all of the product pages, all I needa do to add/change/remove products is login to an administration section and click the category eg. software, and just go from there.

I know there are a lot of commerce carts etc but I'm not really after that. I just want something that will allow me to edit, update products with minimal change to the actual user interface of the site.

Thanks.

search content management systems, might be a bit tricy though depending on your database schema

Unless we have a better idea of how the site currently works we cant really give informed advice.

Anyway it is currently setup it will may be difficult to keep your look etc, (not impossible)

Any CMS system that you find will not have the look you desire so will need changing also that CMS will have a different database schema than you already have (if you have 1).

Heya

I found this script and dloaded the free version. Fulls like $300 !!

http://www.siliconsys.com/content/applications/phpcatalog/

Only problem is I can't get the products onto the next line! Like I can list the products going down the page but if I want to list them like this the | | on the sides represent the visible page limit ->

| product - product - product - product |
| product - product - product - product |
| product - product - product - product |

Thats how I wanna list them but I can't because in the template file you can only specify the layout of one product listing and it then repeats that for as many products as you specify per the page.

Like in the template file it has {product_img} {product_price} & {product_name} If I could just specify like {product_img_1} etc I could then create one template file with like 5 column table and put the product_1 etc in each field to achieve the above thing.

Is anyone able to edit it to achieve this??

Thanks.

I should imagine the best way to sort it out would be to have an if statement each time it runs thru the if statement have a variable that increases by 1 when it reaches 5 have the script reset the count and start on the next row.
