Photo Plugin Questions and URL Question | Forum

Hi,

I need to know a few things...

1.) Is it possible to allow people to name each photo seperately?

This is integral to what I want to use this script for. Without it, I'm screwed and probably can't use the install.

2.) Is it possible to add info to photos in general?

I'd like to have people able to upload ART instead of only photos... would like to have a space where people can say what type of art it is, IE: "Pen & Ink, Digital, etc."

(It's okay if both of the above can be done on 'edit' but not 'upload', if that's a problem.)


And then the URL question...

3.) Is it possible at all to change or mask http://domain.com/users/username TO: http://domain.com/username

In other words, dropping the "user/".


Thanks!

And now I somehow set it so guests can only see login request and not homepage.

Aaargh. -_- Sorry, just some dope trying to fumble around with this program...

Sorry, but currently you can not set title for any photos.

Yes, you can do it by setting description on upload photos page. Is it enough for you?

Not sure that this can be done, because how the system will determine blog's page ( http://domain.com/blogs/ ) from user's page with username blogs? :)

In any way, please, try to post a job on our market with such custom modification.



Let me know if you have more question!

Ah, darn it!! Unfortunately, can't "open" the site until I somehow add this or post a job. (See below.)

Unfortunately, no. For example, if someone wants to view "Vector Art" only, I'd like people to be able to... plus, for an artist it's kind of important to be able to classify an image by its medium, etc.



While putting it in desc or tags would be doable, it'd just be more user friendly (for my purposes, at least) to have people be able to specially define what their artwork is.

By setting "blogs", etc. as forbidden usernames. :D







Thanks for the answers. I'm not going to post a job yet because... well, funds... but also because I just started with OxWall. I definitely need to get more used to it and find all the possible problems with what I want to do with it before I start commissioning edits, etc.

Well.... I hope you will find what you search, may be some later. Oxwall is a young software, but it develops very quickly :)
