Hi and thanks for the code and support. It's unmatched ~

Would anyone know this:

Is it possible to let users upload images via the web and sell them w/ the ecommerce module?

I know the e-commerce/file.module allows users to upload an image via ftp and sell it, but is there a way to have just a thumbnail of the image be displayed and then the product for purchase be the full version of the image?

Any sort of answer would help --

Thanks again for all the code and helpful support.
Drupal's (rightfully) taking over the web. :-)

You can turn any node into a product... For instance, create an image node with your thumbnail. After creating it, you will see a tab that says 'product'. Click that, and turn that node into a 'file' product. When you get to the appropriate screen you will have an option for adding the url of the file you want to sell.

cheers..

q0rban, thanks for your speedy reply.

I did what you said and it works as you said.

It seems that to convert an image to product, the user needs the "administer products" permission. But this allows them to also administer any product on the site, if i am correct.

Can one limit the user to editing his or her own product? without giving access to administer all products? At the moment, I don't see how this would be possible, but I might be overlooking something.

Thanks for any additional thoughts on how this might be possible.

the 'create products' and 'edit own products' should give the proper permissions to do that... what happens if you just enable those two for the role, and then instead of starting with the image, go to create product, and insert the thumbnail with img_assist or something.. that might be an alternative solution...
