photo upload tool

[John Smith]

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a
photographer an was looking to make my site so all I had to do was goto a
page on my site an have an option to upload my photos to the page. i would
like the photos to replace certain photos already on the page and in a
certain
size an format. so that everytime i upload images the page will remain
consitant. i have seen some free tools to do this but they do not permit you
to change the default software design to match your page.
something simple would be great as in a link button dropdown list or java
can anyone point me in a direction as to where i might some
helpful information or tools to do this. thanks

oddly enough I got into internet because of digital photography!

IMHO at first glance at your question, I'd make a subweb within FrontPage
just for your "galleries", then you could change the layout (you don't have
to use a FrontPage gallery you can lay the thumbnails onto the page and then
just link them to the large). after you change the layout sufficiently just
publish that subweb.

If you've got a layout you like you could even do it this way (it'll be
easier on the brain if there's not too many pix); name the pictures with a
tight naming convention such as 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg and their thumbnail
versions tn_1.jpg, etc. then if you upload just the picture files they will
replace the existing pictures in your gallery automatically by overwriting
the previous 1.jpg, etc. then you could just upload replacement pix.

You're describing a custom server-side web application. You have 1 of 2
choices here: 1. You can make do with what is commercially available. 2. You
can write, or hire someone to write software to your specs.

Thanks guys. This will something to think about. For a short fix I think i
will go with Chris's post for now while i think of how to attack the other
choice. Thanks

There is some limited functionality that comes with the FP server
extensions.

You can read more here:

Note that it takes files of 1 meg or less, and you would need to protect the
space from unauthorized use, and maintain strict file name usage... but it's
do-able.

Note: The FP upload component doesn't allow you to upload replacement files. Each file upload must
have a unique name, so it can't be used to replace existing files of the same name. This is a
"security" setting for folks using the component on a web site where the public is allow to upload
so that user A doesn't upload a file overwriting User B's file.

I "discovered" recently that some of this functionality is
built into Photoshop (I have Ver 7). It will
automatically create a slide show viewer in a variety of
styles, create the thumbnails, resize the originals images
to the size you desire, a build the subweb. Then all you
need to do is upload the whole folder. If you have
Photoshop, its under File->Automate->Web Photo Gallery.
You specify the folder containing the source images, a
folder for the destination, and it does the rest (except
the upload part).
jls.

frontpage uses the "file" input type - upload form component - if you're using
frontpage with a server with server extensions enabled (and this particular
function enabled) you should be able to accomplish what it is you're trying to
do.
