I've got an idea for a photo themed site that I'd like to build and I like the setup that cognitivedistortion.com uses. He uploads a photo and the system makes the 640x480 and 800x600 available free, while the higher rez stuff requires a subscription. I'm assuming that when he uploads the largest photo, the system takes care of creating the smaller copies, creates the database entires, etc. I'd like to get a system similar to this where I could offer small photos for free but require a paypal/ccbill/whatever subscription to access the big photos. Can anyone offer tips on how to cobble together a similar system to this using commonly available tools (Gallery, plugins or ???) or is this something that's likely best served by having a custom script made (and if so, about how much do you think it would cost)? Also, if you have a script that does this kind of thing for sale, let me know Thanks!
I was reading some other posts and heard of hotscripts and indeed, it looks like there's some products there which will do what I need, so sorry about that. However, I would still be interested in hearing about any recommendations of solutions if anybody knows of any. Thanks!
