Wow, blazing fast responses. I hope I can keep up. I'm up in Calgary, Alberta. You know, 2" of snow last night just north of us. I have successfully set up and have running an ecom site (industry specific) using commerce.cgi. Sounds similar and has an Mysql interface, however I have utilized the flatfile approach in my first application. Uses html templating for clientside. Now if I can just schedule a couple of evenings to do the install. 10 minutes, maybe with the excellent overview that will happen. Thanks for that.
You may like to look at http://www.diyhosting.ca/ as an IP seeing you are in Canada [not that that matters as we use it fron here] Has some interesting open source programs including agora ecom and unlimited dbs but also recently included "fantastico" which installs the stuff [including OR] for you - here is the list:   Blogs  b2 b2evolution Nucleus pMachine Free WordPress  Content Management Drupal Geeklog Mambo Open Source PHP-Nuke phpWCMS phpWebSite Post-Nuke Siteframe Xoops Customer Support Crafty Syntax Live Help Help Center Live osTicket PHP Support Tickets Support Logic Helpdesk Support Services Manager  Discussion Boards Invision Board phpBB2 YaBBSE  E-Commerce CubeCart OS Commerce  F.A.Q.

Hi need to know all about OR 1.1.0 to 1.1.5b plus all the mods. Just let me know .. regards Al http://www.awddesign.co.uk
Oh.... I can bring him in kicking and screaming into the real world hehehe Seriously though he's good
Hi ResaleBroker Thanks you. Lots happening with my version of OR soon. Foxy it's just time very bussy at the moment. I am changing mambo 4.5.1 stable to be AAA standard via bobby. It's getting on very well with the advent of DDA october 1st. Supprising about this as soon as people know that I was doing this I got 3 more orders regards Al
For all of you out there who need his home page it is not the one he listed in the member profile it is awddesign but he also has some sites running as OR at Spanish Property and Ski France There is some clever stuff on one of them .....but I can't find it - it is about a site map in php and a listing with thumbnails....ask him
I am trying to change Dynamic URLs in Open Realty to static URLs. At least in "listingview." Do you have any ideas on how to accomplish this? I just added a post for this: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=3662
Just want to say thank you for informing the world (& ME) of this software, it's what I've been after for a while...... ...Have been doing my own d/b on Access (Hmmmm, yes it's what I know!) but looks like I'll give this a go, of course need to spend a bit more money on the upgrade to include Mysql.... No doubt I'll be back here and on the open-realty forum for a long time before I get it working.....10 mins Foxy.....! It will take me that long to upload it on 56k!!!!! (the dark ages) Ian
Its relatively easy - certainly not frightening or insurmountable mysql - you should have a look at www.diyhosting.ca [rather than paying extra] as they are cheap [ca dollars] and have the openrealty as a fantastico instal [by coincidence] which would make it easier still.
Thanks for that.....I'll stick with my hosting company and do some testing first on another site (see below!) the charge isn't much but I'd rather test first before I shell out any more money. On OR do the pictures have a link from the database to location on my server or reside in the mysql database? For testing purpose I'm now looking for free web space with php and mysql available. Anyone know of one? Ian
The pictures reside in "listing_photos" in the "image" folder in the root. I have space on DIY, with OR - for how long?
Hi Foxy, Thanks for the offer, very very kind of you....less than one month or even just one week...long enough for me to set up a template and test it to see how I get on it. Will be for www.costaandsierra.com website should I get it to function 100%. Ian
