  1. This Weekend's Goal

    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.
