statusbar... does it work?

[Colin F]

Hi

I'm coding something like a gallery and am currently working on transforming the pictures into thumbnails.
A directory is searched and all pictures in it are *thumbnailed*.

Since that can be a lot of pictures, I want to make a statusbar that updates, while i'ts working... Is there some way of doing this, while still using the template system of vBulletin?
I can't really come up with a way...

Thanks

Have you looked into Flash? You can go to www.flashkit.com and check out what they have...

I didn't think of that....

On the other hand, I don't think Flash is a great option, because:
-That would mean, all the uploaders need flash. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for them...
-I have no idea how I would do something like that... woudn't I have to then be resizing the pictures etc. all in the flash script?
I'm not showing the pictures, I'm just uploading them and then reformating them to the right size with GD. Oh, and overlaying my Logo on the bottom.
-I don't really like flash

Thanks for the suggestion though...

If anyone knows the batch upload utility of coppermine, something like that would allready be great, but I don't know how to do that....

Solved this in an acceptable way

I just made the page output a row of green images, each of these was linked to a php file which executed the actual code and when finished executing, displayed the image.

Now my only other problem is, how do I make the Link to the next step only show up once all the images are loaded??

rather hard that one.... help is much appreciated
