Re: SHTML generator for image viewing

[Hero Zzyzzx]

Output looks great! I've done some similar work to this, available here. Hope you like baby pictures! This was one of my first perl/mySQL projects, and as a consquence the code is a mess! It has the ability to use multiple templates, picture comments, and a few other features.

In you code, what about using image magick to create thumbnails, then having the thumbnails link to a template containing the full size picture?

Hey that is awesome! You have an uber-image viewer thing...

Never thought of using a template like that. I kind of thought that I could change everything using shtml but now you have me thinking. I had thought about providing thumbnails using Image::Magick but I needed to get the code finished and didn't have time to look at the module - but its something I definately want to add asap.

Now that I see yours though...hahaha that is a fine menu and I like the "next" and "back" buttons.

Thanks,

Well, your system has advantages because of it's use of SSI, it's probably quite a bit faster than my "each page created on the fly" system. I'll make sure to watch what you come up with.

My image viewer is an abandonded business idea I had. I might revisit it just for my own fun. Randall Schwartz made a really neat image viewer here.
