Whats the address to the Transfans picture site thingi ?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Hey friends,

I'd love to update the picture site, but perhaps it's time to convert it to a database driven page. Especially since we have a solid structure for it right here at Transfans.net already.

Strafey, could you help out? I'd enjoy getting a bit more experience with MySQL and php, but knowing me, I won't be able to commit myself to this at this moment in time.

As I'm unaware of any Hatters within the Transfan community, I will have to be offended on their behalf... :oops:
Grrr. Argh.

What gets me about Sixy's pic is that it's not updated to simply be Sixshot.

My Transfans pic needs updating; the Archive pic is only about five weeks old, so if anyone's curious, that's the one that I really look like right now. Cropped out to my left on said pic is G91. 8)

I envy all who know Best First in person, therefore know his face... ...or does he wear that box all the time?

Man, I gotta find a scanner. Get my pic in there.

Mmm... ditto.

Bringing the page onto the site (now that there is one) mightn't be a bad idea...

What implied nonsense is this? Do you people actually change over time?

Rubbish!

And Mr. Denyer: that's kind of rude, suggesting that any of my ideas might not be bad. ;)

Well, we've offered to bring the TFArchive photo page onto the main site IIRC, but people seem to prefer having it at a slight distance...

I'd say it's as simple as create another field in the user profile table, and an extra .php page that displays all users with a picture.

We often think giving power back to the people is a good idea, but most of the time, people want to be controlled.

Yeah, but people also want to feel that they could change things if they wanted...

Adding a field also requires adding that field to any and all pieces of code that create or modify records in the user table. That's why the custom rank hack is so needlessly complicated.

However, the tables could be crosslinked—have a single-field table with the field "board_id" in it. Name the files according to "board_id" and stick them together in a directory. Then query the forum tables for any additional information required.

yeah it would be cool if in your board profile page had an option to upload an image to the board photo page... etc...

it would then be in gallery form with a hit counter onit, so u can search by most viewed etc. - the members page also has thumbnail link.

messages and ratings can be added to each picture much like other BB message boards gallery pages...

yay lots of work!

The page auto-generated from a separate but index-linked table is a damn sight easier to do... it just calls for someone to rename the files first.
