Hi... one of my hobies is a photography and i have a range of photos. Some photos i have had published in newspapers and used by friends of mine for website and in adverts etc.

 

what im thinking of doing is putting my photos online in a photo gallery type site where people can view and download my images. Id like my images to be chargable abd payable through paypal. Also ill do some free royality free images etc also.

 

id also like the site to add a watermark auto aswell.

 

Anyone know of a piece of software / code thats opensource??? im used to zencart but would take hours to list each pic 1 by 1.

something like

 

http://www.ktools.net/photostore/

http://www.pixaria.com is another good quality script.

yeah but its like £100

 

dont think ill make that back TBH

 

looking for some like that but free or alot cheaper

clikpic.com offer a ready made yet customisable photo website - ok it costs arounf £35pa but that is very good value for what you get.

you only get 100 photos for that and it doesn't allow for auto download after sale of photo. its £177 for 2000 photos!

It doesn't seem to be a simple task to ask this.... there plenty of stock image site so the software is out there... just need to find an opensource one.

 

zencart can do it but id have to add each image one by one so would take hours but thats one free way. Maybe with the easy populate it might be faster but im not sure if it adds the image as downloadable.

the gallery here is perfect but you cant download the images after sale it just for printing and selling and shipping close but yet so far.

this is a little over kill as well

Sorry I didn't read your post in its entirety.

 

Yes there are many sites that do this already but don't assume this means there are any open source ones. They have probably paid tens of thousands to get theirs built and customised.

Hi have you thought of using istock or a photo site thats allready made they may take a percentage but its probley cheaper than hosting your own site and also has added bonus of having millions of users in site traffic...

 

U could have a simple site with a few images and then a link to your account on the photo sites you use.

 

Other than this u might be able to set one up using wordpress and a few plugins .. But this will mean a little searching and teething problems and manuly doing whats needed to set up each image..

istock looks good like might do that as well as my own site! cant hurt TBH

istock is the cheaper.. I prefer this one..

i stock is good but im looking for my own site just to sell my photos i have taken.... ie go to an event, take photos of people there, if they want to view the photos come to the site and see them and if they want a copy of the photo of them selves of friend then they can choose to buy and download the image just by clicking the buy button and pay through paypal, only looking to sell the photo for like 50p nothing special but it will help pay for the server cost etc... but as you can imagen after a feu events and shows i could have 1000's of photos in different galleries.

 

looking at gallery 3 but not managed to figger that out yet but i been told that it will link in with zencart and i know zencart very well
