Okay been waiting to request this for ages so a little abuse of mod powers in sticking the thread
I want to be able to
1. select per forum to convert attachments in database to files in and specify a specific server directory i.e. /public_html/attach_images/forum1
2. be able to using the template system browse this server directory containing the converted attachments and call each image and display them on a gallery page like gallery.php?forumid=xxx&perpage=xxx
3. the gallery page will order the attachments in sections links alphabetically displayed by user who posted the attachments (text linked username would do fine or better yet optional to show one of their attachments as the link to their gallery i.e. linked to gallery.php?forumid=xxx&perpage=xxx&userid=xxx
shorter urls would be nice or using modrewrite so gallery.php/fxxx/pxxx/uxxx or something
4. attachments viewed via gallery are counted in the number of views to the attachment like in posts
5 optional: member bookmark favourite attachments so they can view them at like gallery.php?action=bookmarked&userid=xxxx
Admin
- Admin side for admins can browse, edit, remove and backup pipe/convert directory into zip file containing directory's attachment images
- Admin can add optional captions under each attachment on gallery.php
Mods
- Can only add optional captions under each attachment on gallery.php
