I'm not sure that this is the appropriate forum, but it didn't really seem to fit in the modd forum since I'm asking for help.

The hover image preview doesn't really work for me, because if you link to various pages/galleries on the same site, it only shows a cached copy of the homepage. What I would like to add would be an option for users to upload an image, then automatically resize that image to a set thumbnail size, and display that with the link.

How hard would this be to add/integrate? Is there anyone out there that would code it for a fee?

Thanks, in advance, for helping a noob out!
(I'm using Pligg 8.2.0 with the default mollio theme)

Is there possibly a better forum to post this in? Or could anyone point me in the direction of a pligg coder for hire?

I would love to learn how to do this as well

In submit step 2 .tpl

you put in a <input type="file name="image"...>

so this would allow you to upload the image.

and in sumbit_step_3.tpl you can put the code that checks if there is a image, moves it to a /preview directory and creates a thumbnail and stores the name of the file somewhere.

have a look at profile.php to see how it handles uploaded images and making thumbnails

On a similar project i just created filenames md5(randomseed) so i would get random names, but i also checked if the name existed.

good luck with the project.

Savant, thank you so much for your response and contribution. I am going to give it a go, and I will respond with my results.

are there any code examples that we can use?
thanks

I don't know php (I can cut & paste, but coding is another story). Does anyone have more specific suggestions of how to do this?

Thanks for your help, Joe
