So there is no way to transfer ‘$image->pid’ as a hidden field of the product?

Say I want to sell 100 pictures, each with the same pricing and variations. All I want is the cart to tell me which file name it was, so it would need to add ‘$image->pid’ as a field which the seller can see post-transaction… Do you understand what I mean?

right, i know that much. But how do i parse the picture’s ID to the cart?

and place a “Buy Now” button underneath every image.

So it won’t be possible to have an add to cart button? Only a buy now?

(eStore will get this image link from NextGen Gallery)

Would you be able to share the code that makes this possible so that I could possibly work something out?

Thanks for your really quick response!

Hey Ivy,

Thanks a lot for your response. I have thought of this possibility, or like Darkmatter did, to confirm the filename, but ideally there would be a way to take the filename directly from nextgen and into a hidden field in the cart which would than return in e-mail sent to the shop owner. I was able to figure out today that

Code:

<?php echo $image->pid ?>

will generate the image id I need, but all I need to figure out is how to parse this value to the cart function. I tried adding the above php as a variation but just as I thought that didn’t work.

Any further ideas? Thanks again!

In my case it wouldn’t be a downloadable image but rather actual prints of the photos. The image would be displayed by nextgen. What we would ultimately need:

– Photographer uploads images through nextgen

– Only one product is configured in the store (with size and shipping variations)

– The filename of the picture is taken from nextgen and parsed through the store when the sale is processed.

Thanks for your quick reply amin and let me know if you can think of a way to implement this. I have yet to do so…

Hey Guys,

I basically building the exact same thing as @darkmatter for a client http://fellerath.com/wp/ and have yet to come up with a viable solution. She basically wants to sell hundreads of client pictures on her site, and clearly creating a new product for each image is not a good way to do.

I am wondering if there is some php magic that can be done to parse the file name (from nextgen) to a hidden (custom) field that gets sent to the photographer when the sale is processed?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Any update on this Amin? I am currently working on a client site that would need this functionality. I am trying to hack something together which might work as an alternative but if you are willing to come up with solution, even better!

I’ve got both the simple paypal plugin and I’ve purchased the WP E-Store plugin, so I’d be willing to make it work with either.

Thanks!

Any update on this? Would need to use this functionality?
