Is there a template for a site where registered visitors can upload a limited number of pictures to my site? My site is not out there yet. I'm just getting started and this is the the big draw for returning visitors.
Registering visitors and the ability to upload files should be a process supported by the web engine you use for your site. And you cannot do that with static HTML. So you could add the layout of forms in the template you like (registration, uploads) and then process the request on the server, for the file upload and user registration. You will need a back end so you can view the uploaded files and registered visitors, activate, delete files etc.
enigma1, Thank you for your reply. I have been very distracted since my last post. Can you please give me a place to go to learn how to do this step-by-step in a way that would be understandable to a real beginner with very little experience who knows very little about web construction/design/code, etc? I'm talkin' details here.
Hi Grafin, If you know very little about coding then it won't be easy to instruct you to complete this on your own, as it would probably take several years of study to create all the various components of a site that lets users upload photos. Are the users having accounts? Do you need other account management features? Do you want it like a photo gallery, an image hosting site, or do you just want users to be able to upload avatars? etc. However, the good news is that there are a number of photo gallery scripts and other image upload scripts already programmed that you can use for your site. If you get a little more specific about what you need, I'm sure it won't be hard to put together a list of options for you.
