Hey everyone! I'm new here as you can tell, but wanted to give a little something to the community for starters. What I'm offering to a few select users here is the option to have their own online catalog or store. I will do the hosting for it, and the coding for it - and you will manage your database via a Google Docs spreadsheet. It's actually extremely simple to do.

I'm not even sure how many of you would be interested in this, but I thought I'd just offer. To show you an example of what it would look like, I have a screen shot below and you can also see a live demo and visit my personal catalog.

Basically after looking at the picture above, these are the options you have. I can change the background image for you to a repeating pattern, a color, or just a picture. You can set up the columns how you like and add as many as you want (obviously not too many though because it would screw up the formatting) depending on your ultimate goal, such as if this is a store you could add a column for the price of which you are selling the item for. I can also add a bit of a description at the top and some links that you may need up there.

As I said, I will be hosting this for you (unless you have your own host, then I could just give you the PHP file and you can host it yourself) so your URL would look something like this: xdxc.cc/ac/username/

Also considering I'm hosting this, I must limit how many people I can offer this service to.

**************************************************​

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
  • Purpose (Store / Catalog / Other)
  • Background (Image / Color)
  • Names Of Columns
  • Color Scheme (If you're not sure, I can just leave it black and white)
    • Odd Row Color
    • Even Row Color
    • Hover Over Row Color
    • Selected Row Color
  • Description For Header Information
  • Any Additional Contact or Site Links

Note: Please list all colors in #hex, unless it's just a simple "black", "red", "green", etc color.

**************************************************​

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
All you need to do is create a Google Doc spreadsheet, set it to public/sharing, and get me the link to it. It should look something like the below:
Code:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar00H_UP25acdGR2Uk1VeUE1a2NTQVVMYXl6S1NIcXc&usp=sharing

Once that is created, all you need to do is make simple changes to the Google Docs spreadsheet and it will instantly update on your online database!

**************************************************​

I'm not requiring any sort of payment in return, but if you wish to transfer some of the site bells to me the I'm not going to stop you! That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I have forgotten something and will need to add it to this original thread, but for the time being I think I covered everything. Anyway, just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
 
Soo would I be able to order anything from your catalog?

You wouldn't really be able to "order" anything via this. It's more of just an online display of all the items you currently have. And then via other methods of communication, you could work out the delivery method and such. There's like no shopping cart type thing, though that would be cool :)
 
I just made an excel sheet of what I have and input anything new. Rather not remake it, haha. But nice way to give to those who haven't gone to such lengths!

Actually if you have it in an Excel spreadsheet already, all you have to do is upload it to Google Docs and it works perfectly :)
 
I'm interested! I will make a basic sheet tonight and give you the url.
Or I could just host it myself, whatever you prefer.
Thanks a lot!

Sounds good Mira. I can just give you the PHP file since that's probably easier? Just let me know when it's ready :)
