Dear friends,
I have been using Joomla and Virtuemart for a while. But they are php and not Java Struts based. I was very excited to find this software and I downloaded a copy to try. I read the user manual but I am still confused with some basic thing like add a product. I am posting some of my questions here and wish some people could help me to know the framework better.
1. Where can I find a step by step user setup guide? I have read the KonaKart_User_Guide.pdf file. Somehow it's not a step by step guide that I can follow to set up a web store.
2. When I add my first product, I uploaded just one image as Image 1. I went to the web store to search the product and found it. But the product image does not show correctly. The image I uploaded is rectangle (length = 2 * width). But the picture I saw in the research result list is square and it did not maintain the aspect ratio (a tall guy looks short and fat). How to deal with the issue? Then I clicked the product and went to the detail page. The product detail page has everything like price except the product photo. The picture place is empty and I expected my full size photo should be there. I do not know the reason.
3. I added my second product. I uploaded four pictures as Image 1, 2, 3, and 4. This time the images all showed on the product detail page. But all the images are large. So do I need to have an image edit software to edit all the photos first before I upload them? I thought Konakart can do that automatically.
Thanks a lot,
Mike
