PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - A discussion regarding PhotoPost PRO 8 features

I turned off the e-card function because for myself as a pro photographer, I don't want anyone using my photos in ecards where the recipient gets the idea they can now print the photo for the making of their own card.

We just purchased CDN for the vB side of our website, so if it also worked with PP, that would be great.

I would like to see the option to set categories where once photos are placed there by the admin, those photos can no longer be deleted or moved by the members, i.e. finalists and winners in contests.

For the past 8 months, I had to turn the delete option off globally which isn't sitting well for all members.

I was going to suggest Anja's idea as well to be able to search a members photo comments like we do when we click to show all forum posts.

As for the voting, we haven't been using it, but creating code in a vB forum post as a poll where members vote. But, to have voting on the PP side would be nice if there were options to prevent the count of the votes being seen by members until admin makes them visible at the end of the contest. Would also like the info available to admins only as to which members placed votes on each photo.

Might be nice if admins can set the amount of votes that can be placed in designated categories. Not sure if this is feasible program wise. So that we could have the members give their vote on what image they feel should be in the finals, but not allowed to vote on their own image

If its possible to set it that members can't vote on their own image, then maybe have that as an option yes/no to vote on their image at the time the category voting is set.

The ability by the admin to place code on an image that could link and display small ribbons for the winners within the thumbnail views. Right now, I've been using a link in the descriptions of the winning photos to give them ribbons, which I want to continue doing as shown below, but....

If members were looking at their album of photos viewing the thumbs, its not easy for them or others viewing their gallery of thumbs to see which were the winners unless they viewed each image large. So if there was some way for us to create our own small ribbon graphics, would be helpful.

I'm sure I have other ideas that I can pass along as they come to mind.
