Title: non-changing url's to images within gallery's
Post by: Artdroid on March 06, 2004, 03:08:48 pm

Should be an old b&w photo to a new first time user.    Problem is...  I've noticed that if a user has visited the site before and switched his image listing order to "filename" or "date" then they'll see a different image.

That's a problem for me.   I participate in several weekly photo challenge type sites where you need to submit a link for your photo submission.   Where an image shown for a submitted URL may change due to some user setting a person could be seeing an image that I did not intend to use for that purpose.

I pointed a person to the image  above and they had their prefs set for "date" listing and they saw a beach photo rather than the B&W image.

Am I missing something concerning static non-changing links?

You are not using the fixed url, as your url is dependant on the album, like this;

Code: [Select]

http://www.artdroid.com/mindseye/displayimage.php?album=22&pos=4

The fixed url is independant of the album, like this;

Code: [Select]

http://www.artdroid.com/mindseye/displayimage.php?pos=-245

You can get the fixed url by displaying the pic information.  The above url is for the beach pic, and will not change.

ah.   I've been keeping the picture info hidden to keep things cleaner.   That should help greatly.   Thanks.

You can keep it hidden still, just click on the little 'i' icon when you need to see it.  That's all I did to get the url of your beach pic.  :wink:

Ya,  I was just stating that I'd kept it close to explain why I hadn't noticed it.
