Framing Photos In Real Time

Hi,<br /><br />Take a look at this:<br /><br /><a href="http://en.easyart.com/scripts/framing/index.ghtml?pid=180462&uncropped=" target="_blank">http://en.easyart.com/scripts/framing/inde...0462&uncropped=</a><br /><br />and also<br /><br /><a href="http://www.PhotosFramed.com" target="_blank">http://www.PhotosFramed.com</a><br /><br />It's a very nice effect (for those haven't got time to look, customer uploads photo and chooses frame style/colour, website generates a preview of how the photo will look when framed)<br /><br />There are several sites on the that work in a similar way suggesting that there may be an "off-the-shelf" script that does this - can't find one though.<br /><br />I'm no expert on perl so I wouldn't have a clue where to start if I were to attempt to write a module like this from scratch.<br /><br />Does any of the family know of any scripts that are at least part way there?<br /><br />Thanks <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Ali.<!--content-->
Try; <br /><br /><!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/27115.html<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--content-->
Thanks for that Rob - I did look on Hotscripts, but missed that one <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /><br />It's quite basic in comparison to the ones I've seen working on sites, but it's a good start if nothing else comes up.<br /><br />Anyone else know of any? (cost doesn't matter too much)<br /><br />Cheers <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Ali.<!--content-->
Heck, I had never seen that before. I had just done a quick look. I will let you know if I can find anything else. Have you tried contacting the sites webmaster to see if they can tell you?<!--content-->
It's probably not as pretty as those frames, but I just use css border styles to emulate frames. You can also use some nifty drop shadow techniques that were documented, I believe, at a list apart. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--content-->
You can use CSS to implement frames dynamically. This is what I use in my blog to automatically frame any images in my "pics/" directory:<br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->.storycontent img[src*="pics/"]<br />{       <br />        padding: 4px;<br />        border: 1px solid #999;<br />        background: #fff;<br />        margin: 5px 0 20px;<br />}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />That's a very simplistic example, but you could get a lot fancier with it with more advanced CSS. I believe it's not 100% compatible with all browsers, either, but works for most.<br /><br />That obviously doesn't help with the uploading part though. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
