Cool new image hosting site with custom script

Im selling this site for my friend this is what he says ...

"Site for sale: www.Image4You.org

Information: Okay well as you know the domain up for sale is Image4You.org. It comes with the full site which includes a custom design, ad rotator script, image hosting script (pre-made) and some traffic. There is no revenue, and the ads currently on the rotator are just placeholders.

The domain expires in May of 2007. If you buy the site, you’ll also get this completely custom and unique hosting and watermarking script as seen here: http://24.76.19.131/img/image.php. The watermarking image can be completely customized and changed for you. Note that this script was created by me and is not used on any sites on the web.

About the traffic of the site, it’s minimal, as I haven’t really advertised at all, but it averages around 15 – 25 unique hits per day, and I will keep advertising it even once it’s sold. Here is a screenshot of the stats since the day it started (the site has only been up for six days) www.image4you.org/images/85386405.jpg.

The domain is registered at www.NameCheap.com , and I will give it a free push to your account.

Bidding Info: Okay we’ll start the bidding for Image4You.org at USD$45.00. The BIN (buy it now) will be USD$75.00. Note that the BIN is a great deal, since it comes with everything plus a completely unique script that you can use on whatever you want!

Payments will be via PayPal only. Thanks! If you have any questions just ask!"

 

Yo I'm the owner.

 

is there a way to alter the preview size for pics after they are uploaded? They dont display correctly

 

There's no algorithm set up to check for a maximum allowed width and height and set the theumbnails height/width proportionately.

@Stefan:
You can use something like what I wrote for prntscrn.net

function ResizeMath($maxW, $maxH, $img)
	{
		$imageW = imagesx($img);
		$imageH = imagesy($img);
	
		if ($imageW <= $maxW && $imageH <= $maxH)
		{
			$thumbW = $imageW;
			$thumbH = $imageH;
		}
	
		else
		{
			if ($imageW >= $imageH)
			{
				$thumbW = $maxW;
				$thumbH = $maxW / $imageW * $imageH;
			}
			else
			{
				$thumbH = $maxH;
				$thumbW = $maxH / $imageH * $imageW;
			}
		}
	
		$thumbW = round($thumbW);
		$thumbH = round($thumbH);
		$thesize = array($thumbW, $thumbH, $imageW, $imageH);
		return $thesize;
		
	}

PHP:

 

Thanks for the pointers, but is there any actual buyers?

 

I might be interested if the script was altered with greg's suggestion and also a fix for the preview display (if thats not the same one Greg mentioned)

 

Yes, that code is what you're after. Using that function you can create multiple thumbnails that stay within a predefined bounds while keeping their original proportions.

 

Well I'm not even like a PHP guru so I can't edit anything cause' my friend did most of the work on that custom script. But if you buy it I'm sure Greg-J will help you.

 

Hey now. I have no problems helping somebody out, but don't offer my help for me.

It really doesn't take a guru to figure out. If you know any programming at all, you know how a function works. If you know basic math, you know how to multiply fractions.

You know the old saying. ...Teach a man to fish...

 

ill have to lowball you and offer $25 since it needs work

 

@ Greg - Sorry, just wanna sell the site. Yeah I'm not really a programmer, I just edited the code a little bit to make it better for a site but my friend did the main programing.

@ v12kid - Yeah right. $45.00 is starting, as stated in the first post.

 

Anybody yet?

 

Stefan, this isn't an insult at all. Just advice.

The problem is that this type of script is nothing new. domains are still easy to come by, and it is quite easy to obtain a more advanced script of the same variety for far less than $45, so this is a hard sell no matter which way you look at it.

Once you become acclimated to the environment it will become easier to predict what people want and how to deliver it to them in a manner that is benificial for both you and your potential customers.

My advice would be to learn a bit of php and implement the change I suggested to bring it up to par and then relist it. If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM.

 

Okay I've lowered the BIN to $35.00 and I'm accepting bids $25.00 or over. So pretty much just go BIN.

 

This is still for sale. I'm only asking $20 for the lot.

 

Anybody at all?
