HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Desires for the next version

« on: December 11, 2004, 10:00:16 PM »

I've just discovered that this has an undesireable effect on the hit counter. Every time the page is refreshed the hit counter increments, I guess if you are not really keeping track of it then it's not a big deal.  I may have to go into the template to implement the thumbnails.

Here is another bit of html that will turn the thumbnail into a link to the original image. <a href="433.jpg">
<img border="0" src="/pictures/tn/tn_433.jpg" width="65" height="38">
</a>

Anyway - a beter way will be changing the icon for a file to this link...may be in the next version we'll be able to have use defined link-icon...

I agree!

By using this as the comment I did not get the thumbnail to act as the hyperlink <IMG SRC="/pictures/tn/tn_433.jpg">.  Here is another bit of html that will turn the thumbnail into a link to the original image.  <a href="433.jpg">
<img border="0" src="/pictures/tn/tn_433.jpg" width="65" height="38">
</a>
You can even eliminate the thumbnail creation process with this one and use the width and height numbers to display the image smaller than normal.

Of course you must still replace the path I've used for the path where your image is stored.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Thumbnails in HFS 2.0 B7

« on: December 11, 2004, 12:43:25 AM »

I just tried this today and since a few people would like this feature, here is what I've done.

The comment field of a particular file is capable of accepting html so, use this line <IMG SRC="/pictures/tn/tn_433.jpg"> (example path and filename) as the comment of each picture you wish to display a thumbnail of.  You may have to make HFS aware of the folder where you store the thumbnails, just hide it so users can't access them.

The dow side to this right now is that you have to create the thumbnail images with a seperate program (there are many free ones,  Google it) and then you have to individually edit the comment lines.

I will work on automating it somehow maybe with some suggestions from others.
