This Weekend's Goal
« on: January 14, 2006, 09:06:41 AM »
Putting this here so I will be embarassed if I don't get it done. Nothing like shame as a motivator I always say!!

1. Submission Notifications
---Email options on notifications for new submissions and comments.


2. Search Script / Page
---See if I can incorporate some of the suggestions and make the search a little more useful

3. Images In Submissions
---This is actually a bigger deal then what you may think.

4. Index Page Redesign
---Try and get more information in there without being too cluttered.


Have a list of quick bug fixes and improvements as well but they don't get a point of their own.

Feel free to add more ideas!!

3. -> I got easy php code for using images with php. You need to provide the storage space and do the parsing of the text though.

My requirements:

- Ability for user, with submission, to upload graphics to a dir of my choice (from computer or through link)
- confirm they are graphics (not just by extension)
- check image size (possibly resize them on the fly if they are too big)
- create a thumbnail
- Only shows thumbnail in the actual submission linked to the full graphic
- Larger graphics may be stored offsite but shown as a link
- No hotlinking

I will probably give the choice in user prefs whether or not to view full image, thumbnail, inline or popup window displaying graphic, no graphics at all.

If I am doing it I am not just letting an imageget displayed in its original resolution by default. I want to have control over how it is displayed because  I, as a user, do not like having to download large images without a choice.
