It seems like this must be a common design paradigm used across multiple real world domains, from retail to real estate: the ability to manage item listings that include photos and item details. The ability to search/browse through the items using any of the database fields.
So far the options I've come across, other than hand coding, are these:
-use a general purpose cms like Joomla or Drupal, customize it using plugins.
-use a general purpose e-commerce platform such as oscommerce
-use another cms like Gallery, or even Wordpress, customized using plugins
None of these seem especially ideal, and even the e-commerce systems have superfluous complexity like shopping carts, etc.
Anyone know of anything that's designed primarily for this purpose? Open source, php/mysql would be ideal.
