Postpone adding content to 4images
« on: August 17, 2005, 12:35:43 PM »
Hi.

I would like to suggest that someone create the possibility of being able to postpone adding content. For instance, 1-6 months ahead.
The great thing about being able to do that, is that your site will always look fresh and updated if, for example, you get 4images to automatically upload a new picture every day.

Let me hear what you all think of that, as I think this is something we could all use.

That might not be useful to all users as some might use HTTP Auth which would failed to accept automated upload pictures.

It would seems so. However, like I said, this function might not work for everyone since not all web hosters tolerates automated uploads.

Personnaly, I think it would be worth the try. Althought, I'm not the one who's going to code it. ;)

I dont know if this is the same, but coudnt it be written not to activate untill a certain point.
You can go threw and upload the file, have it create the thumbnail and everything. but it would become activate for a certain amount of time.

just a thought

The only way to do so would be by setting your categories by GUEST levels. From there, everybody could upload pictures for a certain time. The problem is, since 4images is being used on many different countries ... how could we determine on which time exacly will the timeout be active ? ;)

hmm.....

it really wouldn't matter what the time it is at a certain user's place - just x+ days from time of upload.

So, as I understand it, an Admin could add an image like normal (this would be an Admin job only, where images can only be added - or images in certain categories could be added - only by an Admin. Otherwise, users would wonder "where's my image?")

An extra box in the Admin panel, near "Activate Image" could have a box telling the db to "activate the image in xxx days" - 3 days, 10 days, 160 days - whatever.  It could be subroutine of the activate function.

....but I'm not gonna code it....   :wink:

Actually, it works from the level you choose from ACP - > Categories for your uploads. If you set it on guests, everybody could upload some images.

As for the activate image, I do not use this feature personally.

i don't either - I just leave it ticked on all the time.   For a MOPD like this, though, it could be a place to start looking... :?:

Sounds like there's some valid ideas here. Could work with everything being uploaded like normal, but just with the "Activate in X days".

Could work, could work...

Now; Who's up for it?  :wink:
