Downloaded and installed all the parts for running a very simple store of downloadable files (house plans). Wanted to create a store that would aggregate products into nice little page that shows a thumbnail and description. Users can click on either and get a page about that house plan and then buy it.

I looked at the example sites listed but some of them are simply too basic.

Any thoughts? Am I going about this wrong or do I need to use something else?

Thanks,

James

1) Use CCK to make a custom node type
2) Use imagecache to generate the thumbnails for your custom node type
3) Use the product transform module to set your custom node type as a filestore item

I'm not sure if there's a better option than using product transform, but it's what I'm using for development at the moment..

For that functionality look into the Quickfile module.

I took a look at it first, before the ecommerce module, but it seemed that the ecomm module had more to offer. I'll keep flipping through it.
