Hello. I am thinking about using CMSB for my customers web sites as it seems it can do most of what they usually ask. However, I haven't found how to create a Photo or Video gallery from the admin section. What my customers usually ask is to have a Gallery section where they can upload their images and videos. Some of them usually create a gallery for each event. Can CMSB do this? Is there a link you can give me to see how he galleries look?

Another thing many of my customers ask is a product catalog, which will usually also have sub categories. I currenly use osCommerce which has worked very well for us. Is it possible to use CMSB to create osCommerce-like catalogs? Where can I see a catalog made with CMSB?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi svsanchez,

Using upload fields, you can create image and/or video galleries. While CMSB doesn't have any fancy galleries built in, it's possible to integrate CMSB with any of the myriad of free galleries available. If you want help integrating things, we can help here on the forum.

CMSB has Category Menus, which can be used to create a hierarchy of product categories. You can then create a product section and add a list field which associates a product with one (or more) categories. Everything I saw the osCommerce demo do can be done very easily in CMSB with one exception -- there's no "add to cart" system, so you'd either want to have one custom programmed, or use an external cart system (such as Paypal's.)

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, please ask. :)
All the best,
Chris
