Shopping cart with upload
Hi all
Anyone used an 'off the shelf' LAMP shopping cart which can support the following workflow. I'm basically looking for a simple shopping cart to sell print canvasses online.
EG.
- User chooses the canvas size they want
- Upload the image they want to use
- Then follow through the usual shopping cart checkout procedure.
It's this upload feature that I haven't been able to find in any of the usual ecommerce packages.
Any recommendations welcome. I don't mind if it has to integrate with WP, Joomla or Drupal - but would prefer a stand alone solution.
Cheers,
serpico

I completed a similar project (DIY business cards), and went the complete custom route, as I did not find anything remotely suitable...
Sadly, another Shaggy post that is no help to anyone...
Cheers,

Awww, well at least you tried! And hey, you might be right.
I tried osCommerce a while ago, it was alright but apparently security isn't great and the templates are (or at least were, a couple of years ago) terrible. Lots of table-based layout, little ability for CSS theming.
Personally, if I were building a shopping cart now, I'd probably use Ubercart, which is a module for Drupal. You might find some commercial standalone shopping carts, which do what you want though.
Looking around, I found an Ubercart Drupal module, which seems to do what you need. There's also this blog post, by one of the Ubercart developers, that points to a site who use Ubercart to almost exactly what you're trying to do.
