Best practises for creating a little image gallery ... - El Forum - 07-15-2008

Hi CI people
I'm about to begin a little backend for managing an image gallery
I've been searching in the user_guide, but could not find a file management helper or something similar
- Should I use the standard php functions for creating folders and set permissions for each sub-gallery, or should I use some std. CI lib? (which?)
- Where should I store the images, data, thumbnails, etc. for each gallery? Inside 'system'?, inside 'application'?
EDIT1: regarding user_guide's example for creating thumbnails, should I load the image_lib library inside the for(;
loop for batch thumb creation? I say this because I'd need to change $config['source_image'] in each for loop and load the lib again... not optimum, right?Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi CARP,
I'd put the image files in a folder outside the system folder, then you could reach it by using base_url()."gallery_files/".$my_file.
Another thing is if you want to use for... loop syntax, please conside using foreach(){} instead.
I guess that's a wiki page referring to multiple uploads and image manipulation... Give it a search...
