Ok.. I want to make a website that allows a registered user to upload pictures and leave discriptions of the picture..Granted the picture is going to be something he/she want to sell...I plan to have different catagories and what not...I want to allow them to be able to search as well by different product types..What is the best way to accomplish this...

Pay someone to complete the site for you, then manage the business side of things (advertising etc.) yourself.

Any other way and its not really viable, to many issues with security etc. which you cannot account for if you do not have a background in this (in my opinion)

This can be achieved by a "simple" (read very complex if you cant code) php (or other coding type) e-commerce site with a login, upload, shopping cart, features.

There's a plugin here that you can use to do this.

because meatspin is the answer to all lifes questions, especially those where the question is indeed something unrealistic

[realmccoy813]

Ok security should be an issue because its more so gonna be listings....you know like craigslist but totally different design....I know of porgrams that could get it done I was just wonder if anyone knew the best way of getting this done....

[marksk01]

Again the best way of getting this done is to pay someone else (a web developer) to complete this project for you.

To complete this competently it would take months (years?) of knowledge of the systems involved.

Personally I dont know any programs that could realistically do this job

[marksk01]

why are you editing your original post?
that just makes things confusing.

It would take months to learn to impliment a 'simple' upload section as it is not simple in the slightest if you cannot do it.

If you want any personal information you will need security, you think craigslist has no security?

No programs complete this easily.

And if you want the design layout, then again paying for it would be the only way to get a proper layout, or learning yourself, if you want to learn it will take months -> years

I've never looked at meatspin. I really don't want to start now. The original post contains too many + signs. It hurts my eyes...

[realmccoy813]

no not as difficult as you think...really is simple....

[marksk01]

you really are clueless

If it's so simple why are you bothering asking for opinions, fuck off and do it.

Your latest edit makes it sound like you want to make Etsy :: Your place to buy and sell all things handmade

[realmccoy813]

no not clueless....have you ever built a website

I think the most pertinent question is, have you ever built a website? Do you have any coding and development skills?

[realmccoy813]

yes....my question is in others experience how would they go about this...in the simplest way..with doing it thereself....

[solarisedesign]

no not clueless....have you ever built a website

I've built many websites, and I can tell you the answer to...

What is the best way to accomplish this?

...is - Spend a long time learning about the subject matter. When you are ready, perhaps in a year or two, you will be able to easily answer your own question (as well as answer several thousand other web design questions, most likely)

[realmccoy813]

ok...I was asking has anyone had experience with the porgrams scripts you can purchase

[Shiro]

Build a php serverside script that takes in the contents of a form, including all variable input, including a filepath to the image in question, then use an image library to save the image, resize it into thumbnails, and store the file path in the databas along with all the other variable input. Then build a script that parses the URL so that you can add category IDs, letting you have different pages for different categories.

Make sure to sanitize all input, preventing injection attacks and email header attacks.

There, that's not so difficult is it. Now off me lad, and quit wasting our time pretending you know how to build sites, when you obviously don't, seeing as you don't even know the correct term is 'web developer' or 'web designer', and not 'website builder'.
