Have a look at the link below

This will show you a photo - one of 413 in this folder alone, making cutting and pasting the information too time consuming. Pleviously I have constructed the XML file yusing the command prompt and dir > filename.txt to construct a list of the photo names, and then pasting this into excel to produce the Bulk of the XML file. Exporting this as a txt file, opening this in notebook and removing the unnecessary ,s. It works, but only because I have some experience in programming. It is too cumbersome and too easy to make a mistake.
What I want to produce is:
<file name="SPW_8003.jpg" purchase="/acatalog/Photos.html?photo=
http://www.thephotoman.co.uk/Our_Photos ... t/Weddings and Wedding Evenings/994 22nd May 2010 Wedding of Shelley to Peter/09 Des Erin and Family/SPW_8003.jpg#38;name=SPW_8003.jpg" title="" description=""/>
for each photo.
In oder to do this I would need anothere section in admin/config called purchase
There would be one entry required in this - Path to catalog page.
In my case, at present this is
/acatalog/Photos.html I have included a page name here for my own purposes which may or may not be necessary in the future.
The program needs to construct the entry for each photo in the XML file.
<file name="SPW_8003.jpg"
purchase="/acatalog/Photos.html? (path entered in admin/config)
photo=
http://www.thephotoman.co.uk/Our_Photos ... t/Weddings and Wedding Evenings/994 22nd May 2010 Wedding of Shelley to Peter/09 Des Erin and Family/SPW_8003.jpg -
(COMPLETE path to the Photo incase the catalog page in reached via another web site. Please not that this can also be used as the return after purchase parameter)
#38; (Connecting & to begin second parameter)
name=SPW_8003.jpg" (Actual Name of photo is the cecond parameter)
title="" description=""/>
I hope that his explains sufficiently what I am trting to do. If it does not please let me know. Once I can make this work then I will be developing one of the free shopping cart programs to interact with the system here proposed.
Any developments that I make I will be more than willing to chare with the community.
Thank you for you interest.
