Feedback & Suggestions / Additional Features for 4images

« on: November 10, 2002, 02:50:13 AM »

I would like to request the following additional features to be incorporated into 4images:

1. Category page spanning.  If we have dozens, or even hundreds, of subcategories, it doesn't make sense to list them all on one page.  We can span the pages and list 'x 'amount per page.  we decide what 'x' is.

2. Thumbnail Representation of Each Category/Subcategory. A new administrative function that supports the uploading of a category thumbnail image through our browser, to be displayed next to a category name.

3. Manual or Automated slideshows that give visitors control over the viewing experience.  Visitors will be able to control the delay between images.

4. Alphabetical linking in the form of pull-down menu i.e. if people choose to see the categories starting with "A", they will be taken to a listing page that only lists categores starting with "A"

Thanks and I hope that this feed back will improve 4images so that it can become the best gallery script on the internet.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / [Request] Thumbnail Representation of Each Sub Category

« on: November 07, 2002, 03:37:51 AM »

Actually I was thinking of a specific *static* thumbnail for each of the sub category.

I'm currently in the process of setting up a web site for stamps from different countries in the world. The thumbnail representation for each of the country *should be* the flag for each country. The content of each of the subcategory will be the relevant stamps published by that particular country.

So at the moment, the random thumbnail solution will not work for me as if I use that, the random thumbnail will display the different stamps of that country instead of the flag. Plus, using a random image for the thumbnail representation will put a lot of strain to my server as I intend to have 10000 images or more with 4images.

I prefer *not* to do this manually (by changing the sub category listing page to a static HTML file, use the flags as the thumbnail representations and link each country to their appropriate listing of stamp images).

I would like to find out whether anybody has a solution to this or whether this feature can/will be incorporated into the next version of 4images.

I was thinking of something in line of the following procedure:

1. Upload the thumbnail representations to a specific folder.
2. At the admin section, we can go to a page where we can organize the thumbnail representations. There will an HTML form with be pull down menus: pull down menus on the left will list the file name of the thumbnails, pull down menus on the right will list the subcategories.
3. Then we can just match the correct thumbnail representation with the right sub category and submit the HTML form once we are satisfied with the choices.

Of course if there is a better solution than this, it would be great!

Thanks.

At the moment, all sub categories are using a folder icon as the thumbnail representations.

Is it possible to incorporate *different* thumbnail representation for each of the sub category?

For example:

Category: Artist
Sub Category: Monet, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso etc

When people click on the category Artist, they will be taken to the list of the sub category, and  at this page, I would like them to see a different thumbnail representation for each of the sub category (such as a picture of Monet's face for sub category Monet, a picture of Salvador Dali's face for sub category Salvador Dali etc).

Thanks.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / [Request] Sub Category Page Spanning Just Like ImageFolio3

« on: November 07, 2002, 02:56:18 AM »

How do I create multiple pages for sub categories? For example:

Category: Artist
Sub categories: Monet, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso etc

There will be hundreds of sub categories under that category and in order to shorten the page load waiting time, I would like to split the sub categories in different pages (just like the images where we can choose whether we would like to view 5 or 10 or 20 etc images per page).

At the moment, the new ImageFolio 3 supports category page spanning and list 'x' amount of subcategories per page and we can decide what 'x' is. I am hoping that this feature will be supported by 4images as well.

Thanks.
