I mentioned a few days ago that I was starting work on a simple file sharing site for photographers wishing to store their images so that they can maintain control of them as well as link them to forum or blog posts.
I kind of needed to do it for myself as well as the FileUpload Utility webpage script that I wrote many years - while working fantastically - - - did not allow me to view the thousands of images that I have stored in the directory, for managing them. So I have ended up with many duplicate image files in that directory, that are being used on different websites.
------
So a few days later - - - I have been working hard building a website application (hand coding from scratch as I always do), that will be pratical as well as relatively easy to use and manage (my motivation behind all scripts that I write). The look of the site is something that should appeal to photographers - simple - bigger thumbnails - key navigation - creation of galleries to store different kinds of content. The Pièce de résistance is the Info section (push the blue "i" button on the top right of each thumbnail) that has assembled code snippets for Sharing your image files - that simply need to be copied and pasted into your document.
DEMO HERE - http://demo.arwpic.com
(uploading and gallery creation and file editing are not activated in the demo - for security reasons. The final product has a secure login page to enter)
So what I am looking for at this time, are 2 or 3 troubleshooters to let me know of issues and offer suggestions - as I finish of the script over the next week. For your coopertaion, you will be provided with a FREE Gallery account that you can maintain as long as you like. The accounts allow up to 1GB of disk space - which will be good for thousands of web sized images for posting and sharing online.
A domain name will be provide for each account such as www.billjones.arwpic.com (doesn't exist so don't bother clicking it). If prefered, a real domain name can be attached to the account. There is no FTP access as everything will be accomplished through this File Manager that I have built.
I do not plan on making this File Sharing Website available to just everyone. I will be hand setting up the accounts so that I can control the type of people that I want using the server. That will be a safeguard for everyone - as people can't sign up and upload malicious files that cause havock with others.
I should have the initial build fully functioning by Monday or Tuesday and that is when I will set up the accounts for those 2 or 3 people who wish to help me out in finetuning the site. Please contact me through this forum or email me if you are interested in the $20/year value for free forever.
Anyone else is welcome to comment on what the Website looks like so far - - - I would be happy to take any suggestions into consideration.
