Seriously, this idea is AWESOME

Not to toot my own horn, but for an aquatic photography forum, I cant believe someone hasnt already thought of this.

You know the "find all posts by this member" button in the profile page? Why not do a little simple reworking so that "find all posts by this member" also has a "find all posts that contain photos by this member" next to it? It would be a great way to get more pictures from those members who's shots really impress you. I'd love to see this put in, since we don't really use a gallery system, it's the next best thing.

Am I right or am I right?

Interesting suggestion. But I think coding the forum to do so will be a killer (unless you have ready codes that we can refer to).

Perhaps we can consider a gallery in the future when the resources permit. That way, even the links are internal.

Really? I'd think with the thumbnails the posts should have some kind of marker in them to indicate they have an image.

It could probably even be done simply by having the button do a search for all posts by that person and adding the condition that all posts must contain image tags. For some reason all codes get ignored in posts but it should be possible to disable this to just search the text of a persons post and return all that include [IMG]

Does this sound unworkable? Seems like it would be pretty easy from my programming knowledge but I used to do java, not php so I can't say for sure.

PHP is like a swamp, once you step in, you sink farther and farther down, and next thing you know, you're struggling to breathe :(

Toot toot.

You're right. Great idea.


It's a shame coding's so complicated, next year I'm taking a Computing A level so maybe I'll be able to help you on that. Until then... *shrugs*

I am sure it can be cone. But will somebody want to do it. Thats teh question.
