• Provide an efficient multiple file upload interface
• Extract image meta data for media type and capture time
• Automatically create scaled thumbnails
• Provide ‘lightbox' style image zoom
• Provide administration of image tags and project details

Technology

• PHP (phpNights Framework)
• HTML and CSS

Implementation

phpNights Framework

This site is powered by the phpNights framework. The Framework was extended for this project to automatically create thumbnail images for images that exceeded a given size.

JavaScript Enhancements

The image upload uses the Javascript filuploaded class and interfaces with a site API. Further APIs will be added to allow management to be done using AJAX rather than standard HTML post requests.
