Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Thumbnail Link & Require Registered User

« on: August 25, 2002, 11:05:48 PM »

I would like to make my 4images gallery so that users need to become registered members in order to see the full-sized images.  This is easy to set up by changing the category properties, but when I do this it takes the links away from the thumbnails.  What I'd like to do is make it so that when a non-registered user goes to a category page, it shows the thumbnails and makes them all link to a page that says "you must be a registered user to see the full sized image."  I have done some hunting in the code, and it looks like the variable $show_link is responsible for this action (in functions.php).  Could someone give me some advice on how to make it so that non-registered users see thumbnails that all link to one place instead of the full-sized images but registered users see thumbnails that link to the full-sized images?

Thanks very much for the help!

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Upload From URL

« on: August 22, 2002, 11:20:49 PM »

I have a question about the upload process from that takes place when a user uploads to my site and uses a URL as the location instead of uploading a file from their computer.

Right now, the URL just gets put into the database and the image loads from the remote folder each time it is called from my site.  Also, no thumbnail is generated.  Is it possible to make it so that when a user puts in the URL for an image, the server uses wget (or something) to download the image to the server and then make a thumbnail?

I've searched the forums for an answer to this problem but have not been able to find one yet.  Could someone point me to a post that shows how to fix this or give me instructions in here?

Thanks so much for your help!
