Email with image name
« on: May 08, 2005, 12:03:26 PM »
Here's a mod that I'd really like to have available.

I use 4images for a simple photo library site (cfgphoto.com) and I'd just like a basic email system that operates from the details page so that viewers can request image usage quotes. The image name would automatically appear in the subject line or as a title and there would be fields for the sender's name and email address. The mail would always be going to the same address so the recipient email address could be hidden. It would also need to have a message field to record the usage details. There would be no need to actually include the image, though if the thumbnail could be sent with the post that would lessen any confusion over image ID. No changeable fonts, background colours, etc. required.

I've been working on the postcards files and have been able to achieve something like waht I'd want but it's a rather cumbersome way of doing it, especially as the message is stored in the database rather than being sent directly. I can also do it by inserting standard HTML email links in the image caption, but that means a load of unecessary and repetitive information cluttering up my image database.

If anyone could help it would be appreciated, but it's really just something on my wish list.

Thanks, I haven't the time to try to implement it right now but that seems pretty close to what I'm looking for.
