I have a potential customer who wants me to redo their site to have a shopping cart (of course I'll use OSCommerce) but to also have the following ability on the shop. I am not a programmer, but I have designed quite a few sites that vary in their designs. All of my store customers use Oscommerce and I am at a loss of how to make this work. However, I really think I'm just having a mental block and that it's not going to be that difficult.
here's the scope:
This is for this site: www.undercoveralphabet.com -- they are a company that takes pictures of nature that look like a letter of the alphabet. People buy their Names, company names, slogans, etc... using a variety of these letters. the client would like for the site visitor to be able to choose his letters a catalog or gallery of images that once the image is chosen, it will show the letter images together so they can see how their letters all look together as a word. (understand? here's competitors that do similar ... www.letteryourlegacy.com and www.alphabetphotography.com when you look at their site, you can see that you can pick your images, etc...
If there are any suggestions as to how to actually do the picking and chosing of the letters to have them all show together, that would be very helpful and then to suggest how to integrate into Oscommerce would be EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you

let me try..
make product with name of the alphabet A -> Z
each product(alphabet) will have many picture(option value)
after you make product with name of the alphabet,
go to catalog -> product attributes, create "Product Option" name it "picture".
add every picture you got to "Option Values" example: option name:picture, option value:path/to/the/image/
add/combine the product with the option value in "Products Attributes" example :
product name option name option value value price prefix
letter "O" picture /path/to/picture/windmill 0 +
letter "O" picture /path/to/picture/wheel 0 +
letter "O" picture /path/to/picture/hole 0 +
this is how you set up your product/alphabet.
next at the font end is depend on your programming logic how to visualize this.
hope this satisfied you.
