Looking to hire

Hi,

I would like to use TBS to fix a page on my website.

The current webpage looks like this:
http://www.dianfurniture.com/main/prodgenerate.php?ProductID=11
(call this ORIG)

I want the modified webpage to look like this:
http://test.dianfurniture.com/david/main/test.php?ProductID=11
(call this NEW)

The difference between the two is that NEW does not use an inline frame and does not use as many files as ORIG. With ORIG, the photo display is created by running a program I use to create several html files that displays each image.

With NEW, I just dump the images in a directory and that's it.

I would like to hire someone to simulate NEW using TBS. Whether you want to use my existing code to start out, or whether you know how to do it already doesn't matter to me. But, you might laugh or cry if you use my code that is so intermixed with html and php, (TBS is awesome!)

I would like one improvement on NEW, however. Although, telll me if you think it would slow things down, significantly. If you click on an image in NEW, and then browse through the images, you will find that some images appear too big. If you can have it automatically resized when loaded, I think it would save me more time from having to resize it, but, I don't want the page load to slow down too much.

So, if you think it should already be resized when uploaded, then let me know. In which case I would like you to write me a script that I could run that automatically resizes them in a directory after I have uploaded them.

Anyways, now to the price. Would anyone be willing to do this for $100 USD? I will provide ftp access to a testing directory. You will be paid with Paypal after completion. If you want a bit more security with the transaction, I can post this on ebay and send you a link to purchase it.

If you're interested, you can contact me using my contact page:

Thanks.

I'd like to make an amendment, if you believe the images should be uploaded in the correct format already, then no need to write me a script. I can find one.

Thanks.

A few comments...

*** I am not going to try to do this task fr you fo pay! ***

(1) There are enough stock PHP scripts that upload files and others that resize graphics so you can just comnbine them into one script. FWIW - I would recommend setting your procedure so that a standard size and file format are uploaded - then create a copy and resize to the thumbnail size you need.

(2) The technique I have used to convert old legacy (non-TBS) applications to TBS is real simple -- first I cut and paste all of the PHP up to the top of the file - putting all the existing HTML at the bottom. Once I do that it becomes very easy to see what the various block sections are and also how the HTML needs to be altered.

(3) Don't give anyone access to your server -- until they've proven their integrity over a long time.  For something like this little project -just do a partial MySQL dump then package that with the existing code files and send that to whomever you want to try to do the work. Let then put it up on their web server to proof their successful completion of the work.

All the best,
TomH

Hi TomH,

Thanks for your comments. I will postpone looking for someone at this time while I try at least one attempt at it.

So, even providing ftp access to one directory isn't secure? I tested it and I can't seem to go anywhere else on the server.

Thanks, df.
