Class 7 - Assignment

Picture Pages

I have the base functionality working. Upload a pic, it shows in a list. I did not focus much on the ascetics of this page, but more on the functionality. I tried to think of useful features that a normal, commercial, picture website would have. Below is a list of some of the included features.

  • Clicking any page when not logged in will send you to the login page
  • You cannot register a user that already exists
  • Must confirm password and it cannot match username
  • Option to keep logged in for 1 day, else expires after 1 hour
  • Default view is last 6 pics, can select 6, 12, 30, All
  • Upload requires file and description - cannot upload blank entry
  • Admin page: delete users, delete pictures
I had many other features I wanted to implement, but did not have the time to research and learn. As it is, I spent many hours every night this week working. Unfortunately, a lot of that time was troubleshooting silly errors such as misspelling a variable, forgetting the semicolon, or assuming I know how a function works when I really have no clue.
