A front end GUI (gnome) for Oscommerce

[gatuus]

Hello everyone,

I want to announce you that i'll work on a front end for
oscommerce, well, I'll try as hard as I can...

The front end will be programmed in GLADE/GNOME/GTK/GDK/Python/MySQL,
that will give us a near and fast release date for an stable version program.

The reason for this is that I have some customers that have thousands of products that need to be uploaded to their "oscommerce store" in (let's say) minutes or at least hours and that can't be possible with the "Admin" interface of osc.
Another solution to this is may be to import a "CSV file" with PHPmyAdmin but this is still being a very complex solution to inexperienced people or without knowing in databases.

From now I'm working in Glade to build a friendly interface
and solving the mysteries of the organization of the "catalog" database any help'will be precious

(I'm adding an screenshot of what i want in the GUI)

I'll have some news next week and i''l tell you if sourceforge give us the hosting.
Ahhh ohhh I almost forgot... It'll be GPL (free)
(pardon my english)

This looks interesting.

I have used excel and csv files (I needed 5) it was pretty easy for non programmer types to bash in the data (except for the categories as I seem to remember which I did myself). After the data was ebtered into th csv I "edited" it into the correct csv (I only asked them to fill in the essential information) then uploaded the data with phpmyadmin. There is also a contribution called Easy Populate available.

Goodluck, I'll watch this space for updates.
