A week or so ago I set about rebuilding my galleries with a better shopping cart system. In my trials I used a great piece of software to create my Galleries and tweak them just enough to work within my site design. That worked well, and the Shopping cart I added at the time worked perfectly with thegallery template as well.
I was trying to avaoid having the site guest track down the Image ID# so I would know which image the guest wanted. It worked ok, but I found that my limitations of images print size and finish types that would work together to create a cognative pricing calculation.
With the suggestions that poured in I purchesed and downloaded another software to make a better shopping cart and it was great, but the only hang up was that it would not work with my galleries and I found loads of code conflicts making the entire thing daunting at best.
So I finally resigned to the idea of creating my galleries from scratch and coding the image pages with the shopping cart code as created with the Software Rick Dunn suggested.Pay Pal shop Builder from http://www.ntksoft.com
Here's what I came up with http://www.naturephotographynaturally.com/galleries/GG/garden.htm This page is not yet public as I plan on waiting till I have the other three galleries built first before I change the public links. By the way adding options I found a nice little short cut when I need to update the options I can offer such as Panos, and other printing surfaces and finishings.
All of this came about when I started using WHCC for my printing services and all of the options they offer to expand my product line to Greeting Cards, Posters and Proof Books for galleries to display.
I welcome any thoughts and suggestions.

It looks like it all works well. The button "continue shopping" in the payment window does not do anything, but that's not a problem. Nice photos BTW!

wow that is just gorgeous! You can call me quite envious, and I am also in the midst of redoing my own site. I do have one comment, the borders on the right of the images, the very outsides aren't even. The rights wider. At least here in FF 1.5

Jim, there are some bugs maybe, on some photos there is no "order prints here" underneath.
At least that's what I found.
eg http://www.naturephotographynaturally.com/flora.htm the first little fox pic on the flora and fauna.
Bill I only have the two Galleries Made as i stated in my original post, these are not yet fully public that is why I didn't put up a link to the main gallery page, yet.
