Hi,
My programmer is developing a *GENERIC* server-based gallery generator tool.
The main function being semi-automated thumbnail gallery creation...
I am hoping to make this software generic enough so that I can use it on a variety of webservers and O/s etc...
I know there are already tools available that do a similar task but I have tried all of them and none of them cut-it for me....
I am attempting to create the ultimate tool for webmasters and I am hoping to offer it as freeware - self-installing and all
)
Here are the basic features/requirements :
The system will facilitate the construction of multiple thumbnail
gallery pages
Thumbnail gallery pages can be configured using different colors ( user specified color-schemes )
Thumbnail gallery pages can be configured using different page layouts ( user specified templates )
Thumbnail gallery pages can be configured using different number of images ( user specified number-of-thumbs )
Images contained within gallery pages can be of varying sizes.. ( user specified image-sizes )
Thumbnail gallery pages can contain external text links or banner
links ( user specified link-choice )
Text links or banner link URL can be configured by user during
creation ( user specified link-url )
Each Thumbnail gallery page will be saved in a seperate directory on the server ( user specifed directory-name-location )
The system will obtain images from a location on the server ( user
specified image-location(s) )
Image source should be user configurable for multiple possible locations, a random function for lazy users, a choice function for best images etc
The system will save thumbnailed images in the same directory as the gallery URL ( e.g. ../gallery01/index.html )
The system will store a history of all gallery creations and locations on each particular server.
The system should facilitate existing gallery editing ( rename,
delete, change template, URL's etc )
There should be no FTP involved. All server based.
Template/gallery layout creation should be performed through choice menu's on web admin
Color choice creation should be performed through chouce menu's on web admin
( this is just a snipet of the requirements spec )
NOW.... input please.... what have I missed out? - what features would you all like to see?
All those who make positive input in this project will be given a beta copy of this software months before it is realesed...
Let me know your thoughts please...
Regards
Terry
