Multiple Lightboxes or Customer Defined Categories ?
« on: November 16, 2002, 08:16:28 PM »
I am new to this forum but have been working on customizing 4images for some time.

I would like to be able to create multiple lightboxes each with a differnt name, thus enabling another way customers could potentially organize photos.

What we are doing is keeping all customer accounts private with no sharing rights. But we would like our customers to be able to organize their images into categories. We could create 5,10,15 etc... categories for each customer then only give viewing and editing rights to that individual. This, however, causes the list of categories to become extremely large as your customer base increases.

So, what I would like to do, is enable the customer to choose to add an image to one of several different "Lightboxes", maybe called "Family", "Friends", "Special Occasions" ...etc. It seems this would take considerable coding, but perhaps it can be done by duplicating and renaming some of the php and or html files.

I have a programming background but am not really familiar with php, and have been able to figure out how to do most of what I need.

Any help or guidance with the creation of multiple lightboxes or customer defined categories would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
