Download presenting Multiple Resolutions?

[Chowny]

On my wallpaper site I want to be able to present multiple resolutions for download without having to add them as individual seperate entries in the database. So if you view a picture, instead of "Download" at the bottom, you could have a "1024x768", "1280x1024", "1280x800" button etc.

I only want the appropriate buttons to appear if those resolution variations of those pictures exist.

Anybody know how I would go about this?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like an interesting addon to build. However :

instead of "Download" at the bottom, you could have a "1024x768", "1280x1024", "1280x800" button etc.

does this mean that it would still be on buttons link or it would become text links instead for those replaced links ?

Either would work fine... Given what 4images does, I'm surprised that nobody has come up with a modification of this nature before... I have tinkered with the code for 4images to put banners etc into my pages, and I *am* a web developer (in ASP .NET though) but I feel my knowledge of PHP itself isn't really up to doing this job.

Hum ... maybe I am up to it Chowny ... maybe I am. 

Seriously, how about a dropdown list from your ACP - > Add / edit images so that you could specify - from each uploads - the size you'd upload ? From there, it would be far more easier for 4images to figure which size needs to be active from your details page.

Please advise.

Sounds good to me...

Excellent then. Your suggestion has been added on my list. Please take not that this MOD will not be done instantly but your turn will come soon.

Thanks...I'll probably take a stab at it myself in the meantime. Stand well back. It could all go wrong.

I'll look forward to seeing your solution that'll probably actually work.

I adopt a vigorous policy of

a) Backing it up
b) Fiddling with it till it either works or breaks

That's the one - let me know of your results.
