[Snippet] FotoReporter

FotoReporter is an application designed to easily resize and upload images to your MODx site, and view them through the SimpleViewer flash application.

Creating a photo album with FotoReporter is straightforward: just drag’n drop your pictures, comment them and press the "Upload" button; go to the webpage where you want the insert the album and place the code [[FotoReporter?album=AlbumName]].

The album will be showed by the excellent flash program Airtight SimpleViewer (http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/).

With FotoReporter, creating a new photo album is a matter of minutes!

Thanks so much... that looks great. Can’t wait to play with it

Hi Commodore64 ,

Very cool snippet Nice work.

It think you’ll be glad to know that once we have release the modules support for MODx you’ll be able to create a module that allows the user to manage their FotoReporter images from the backend.

Keep it up.

Hi Commodore64!

Great work with FotoReporter but... do you plan also a MAC OS X version?

That would help a lot...

Thanks!

You mean it requires a PC in order to upload photos...

Yes, the client is a windows program. But it is written using the wxWidgets cross-platform C++ library, so in order to port it to MacOS X it should be sufficient to recompile it with a MacOS compiler - maybe a few minor modifications could be required...

The problem is that I haven’t got a Mac!

Here is a new version of FotoReporter, namely 0.4.

Improvements:

* the quality of images has been considerably improved. FotoReporter is now using GD2 to resize images

* integration with MODx manager user accounts: now a user must provide his MODx login credentials, in order to upload pictures

* easier to install and to configure for the site administrator

* increased security: the upload script veryfies that every uploaded file is not a (possibly malicious) script

* some bugs have been fixed

For these reasons, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to FotoReporter 0.4. Please remember to uninstall the FotoReporter 0.2 client before installing the new one.

Hi!

I have ported FotoReporter to Linux: it was very easy, thanks to wxWidgets!

If you are interested, you can download it from the Etomite forum.

does that mean it might work on OS X, too?
