Graphic Display and Linking (standardizing)
Im using many of the mods to DBMAN including MATCHMAKER, Short and Long View Search, Email Security and some other ones... but my concern is that i would like to have all the uploaded pics displayed at the same size.. so if a pic is uploaded and it is say 120x70 pixels.. it is displayed at the admin requested size to keep page neat. (i know this will reduce quality of pic in some cases). To counter this...... how do i make this defaulted size pic a link to the full pic either in a new window or on a page with a return link to profile info?

YOUR HELP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED. Smile

I'm not sure exactly how the picture mod works, but you'd have to configure the record out put to something like:

<A HREF="picture" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="picture" HEIGHT="whatever" WIDTH="whatever" BORDER="0"></A>

The TARGET="_blank" will open the link in a new window.

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Nabil:

I have found it very useful to state the size requirements in both my faq/help files and also next to the text field to enter the graphics.

I specifically state the height and width allowed and also the maximum bytes. I find that most people do abide by the requirements, which makes the job of admin much easier Smile

Next to the input field I add:

(Max. 200 x 200 10K max.)

Just an idea Smile
