kiosk Development

kiosk is progressing very well. I have started the programming some of the more significant portions of the project, such as, uploading Image, and creating Categories. Unlike cpCommerce images will not be handled during the Category, Product, Manufacturer, etc. creation. Instead, it is its’ own section. Why? This way you can upload all of your images via FTP, click a nice little link stating “Find Uploaded Images” and it will insert them into your database for you. Then all you have to do is assign them to a Product, Category, Manufacturer, or Both, or All Three!

Images are entirely reusable. So if you want to show a Product’s Image as the Category Image too, YOU CAN! And you can do it without uploading another file! I like to think kiosk is taking what cpCommerce started and taking it to a whole new level learning from its’ mistakes, and hopefully you all agree.

Well that is enough on that for now, I will update everyone once again, when I have these sections entirely done. Then you can pull it from the kiosk subversion repository and give it a try yourself.
