Hi,
I have 3 questions about problems I am facing with "Picture Manager"
I like to display New Products, Best Sellers, Featured Products and Featured Categories.
To do that I will be using DataList or maybe Spry or Flash.
Problem 1:
I used DataList + SqlConnection to call Featured Categories based on a separate table called "FeaturedCategories" where I specified CategoryID which is joined with the CategoryID on Category Table. This way I managed to call all data except the Image URL. Even tried Object Data Source to call the "Picture Manager" within the datalist to display images ... still no clue how to do this :(
Problem 2:
To display New Products & Best Sellers etc I plan to use Spry or Flash. To do so I will be needing XML database. Again the problem is with Image URL. I have no Idea how to work with "Picture Manager". Please guide and provide info. for me to understand this way of working.
Problem 3:
I already have a huge database which will be imported to NOP Database. The images in my database have different names. They are based in ISBN or bar Code numbers i.e. ISBN.jpg or Bar Code.jpg
Changing file names of 4000 images is nearly impossible. I have no idea what to do.
I am really new to codes and with my past bad experiences I only feel satisfied with NOP. With some guidance I will be able to reach my goal of having a great online store based on NOP.
