Actinic Extranet

Hey Everyone

I'm working on a project at the moment and was wondering if any Actinic Geniuses out there had a suggestion for me. I am trying to build an image directory so that our suppliers can log in and download hi res images for their catalogues, websites etc. Does anyone know how to build something like that?

Cheers
Shannon

Have you had a look at some of the online applications already there?
e.g. Google Docs, ZoHo etc?
One of these may just do the job for you.

hi Fergus

I have had a look at them. Ideally it needs to be within the actinic login area.

1) Put your big files into your Site folder.

2) Create a dummy product called e.g. "Product Images" that only your logged in customers can see. This is standard Actinic functionality.

3) Disable "Can be ordered Online".

4) Now in the product description field enter a block of HTML that links to these pictures. E.g.

!!<
<br/><a href="bigpic1.jpg">Right click to download Big Picture 1</a>
<br/><a href="bigpic2.jpg">Right click to download Big Picture 2</a>
>!!

You can make it easier for them to see what's going on by also making thumnbnail images of these pictures (also save in your Site folder) and using:
[/code]
!!<
<br/><a href="bigpic1.jpg"><img src="thumb1.jpg"/>Right click to download Big Picture 1</a>
<br/><a href="bigpic2.jpg"><img src="thumb1.jpg"/>Right click to download Big Picture 2</a>
>!!
[/code]
[/code]
