yeah... it currently opens in the top of the page and from there it give you extra options (including opening in a new page etc)... The private galleries has more features like 1) importing from your favourites or from a csv list 2) exporting the generated thumbs into a zip file 3) multiple galleries for specific purposes (like people that have directories and want to generate thumbs for them.. If you want to be in the trials for the private galleries just let me know, its free for dp users!
What do people think of my use of slidders in the "digg in pics" section. Thanks people for you feedback And a great thanks to the small group of heavy users of my private galleries, keep the feedback comming.
Hi I tried to submit using curl but didn't seem to work and didn't have time to debug... I'd like to have this scenario - submit via curl or fgets or whatever - get an id back - then either link using the id or collect the image using the id after a pre-agreed delay (to give the generator time) - link back to you using approved seo link might that be possible? because your service so far is just what I need. (although the squidoo page didn't work...)
Thanks Sarahk... im investigating curl now (actually looking into libcurl) ill get back to you when ive developed what your asking for. (doesnt sound hard what you want).. l8r
Hey sarahk... I just added a new way to import urls via using cURL. In the private galleries if you go into the "import a list of url's" theres a new option called "use cUrl to submit URL's". It gives you information on how to import urls using cURL into your private gallery. Let me know if that doesnt meet your needs
hope that was a compliment coolme took me a minute to figure out that name, straight and to the point! Im adding a new feature next week that makes thumbs for your rss feeds and its called "RipThatFeed"
Added a "home" tab that people are defaulted to. Is it a nice landing page that explains what the site is about? And does it load in a reasonable amount of time.. Also added a "secret projects" tab with a list of projects im working on, is there too much graphics on there? does it take too long to load up? Also worked on getting it to look good across Firefox, IE and Opera.. Thanks again for your comments guys.. ps. if anyones interested ill be releasing alot of the code that generates thumbs and the site itself as opensource in a couple of weeks. Mind you its all .NET running on msaccess database using .net2.0 and webservices Liquidboy
Hey guys, Im half way through building a new piece of functionality around online file storage, like word/pdf/powerpoint documents, clips whatever. I know everyones doing it but i thought id have a go at doing it differently.. Its in the "secret projects" area and its called "megaupload ripped"... I rekon im about 60% done on it but im looking to get peoples opinions.. Anyone that has time please feel free to go in and create your own free gallery.. Thanks again to those that continually give me feedback.. ps. next week ill start releasing the code behind the site and all the secret projects under open source (including the thumbnail generator and the digg like forms) so stay tuned for that... Regards liquidboy
by hotlink do you mean link to the generated images from your websites (steal my bandwidth)? If so then yes.. I dont mind at all, create yourself a private thumbnail gallery and start thumbing all the websites you want ... l8r
Thx... ive been building sites for years all with the goal of revenue generation... This is the first one im doing purely for enjoyment.. Im taking a break from making revenue generating sites and im gonna spend most of my energy on this site, building cool free tools for webmasters and making the web a "beautiful" place.. Too many ugly sites out there.. ps.. my first open source submittion is going up this weekend (aussie time - 3 days away) , in the open source section im gonna show people how to 1) build "Digg" like forms - all the forms on my site are "digg" styled forms, i loved them so much i ripped them and im gonna try to get other webmasters to use the templates. 2) the source code to how i store a sites visitors and translate them into regions/flags - a demo of this can be seen on the top right a page , it shows my recent 5 visitors and there flags of origin 3) the source code form my comments widget - across my site i use the same widget that lets vistors comment. Its a cut and paste widget that any webmaster can install in minutes (given the right hosting setup) and have running.. All the widgets i create can also be hosted by my site and iframed in another webmasters site.. If you have websites and you want "comment" features or "last visitor flags" features then i can host it for you and all you'll need to do is iframe the code into your sites.. check back in a couple of days to see what source code i release.. l8r l8r
Hey, just thought I'd share a screenshot of a site I'm working on - internal site monitoring but the screenshots add as an extra window and using the curl option (but infact fopen worked just fine) I get the image too. Very easy, very cool.
Cool. very nice... i was thinking of building a site monitoring widget as well.. Guess i dont need to anymore.. If your providing that as a service to other webmasters, ill be happy to put a link on my site to it.. That will definetely be useful for others! ps. thx for using my service...
Yes, I will be offering it but on a free and lowkey basis. I have some work to do on some of the scripts first and I'll be moving it to a new server (purely to have it separate from the sites I'm monitoring). Right now you can sign up, add your sites but the emails will be a bit wonky but the basics are in place. I want to add more functionality though. Sarah
Ive just ripped the yahoo "quick tours".. Ill be putting it up in the open source area this weekend.. If anyone has some time for reviewing please goto my site and on the home page the "quick tours" panel will drop down letting you take a quick tour.. Its just a concept demo but would like to know what people think.. ps. i think its awesome and id like to see it on alot of other peoples sites (just like the digg forms i ripped early last week).. pss. thanks to all those that are giving great feedback.. Regards LiquidBoy
looks good and I'll be interested to see how you have it working for us quick note: there should be their plus how do I refresh a thumbnail in my private gallery (or from a remote site). I don't want to have to keep requesting it - your db will get chokka
let me get back to you tonight (sydney time) with a solution for refreshing... both from the private gallery and via url request.. And thanks for the pick-up with my spelling... (ps. trying to package up the "quick tours" is harder than expected) ps. i also subscribed to your service, let me know if you ever plan on offering it to the general public and ill throw a link from my home page.. ... liquidboy
