I own the site www.clearerimages.com. It is a stock photo website. I am looking to upgrade/fix some problems with the current script it is using.
The main things I want done with this project:
-A user can go to the edit photo page and upload a new one without it having to be reviewed.
-The bulk image upload system needs to be changed. I would like the following upload options:
-The single-file upload is fine the way it is, however I would like the “IPTC” option to be gone, and rather the IPTC info be inserted when the file is uploaded.
-I want a flash or java based upload utility (similar to www.fotolia.com) that a user can select multiple files to upload at once, then go back and edit them later. This needs to process IPTC info when it uploads.
-I want a simple html form like the single upload option, but with up to 10 files (each form appearing after the user selects a file to upload, up to 10 files) and this will have the same editing process as the java or flash. This needs to process IPTC info when it uploads.
-Change method of editing photos after a bulk upload including Image Title, description, keywords, category selection, license type, and model or property release upload, as well as the option to save for editing later, save and send to review, or delete the image.
-I want newly uploaded images to be processed with any IPTC info, then be labeled “Pending Edit” I do not want these files to appear in the Admin area where I can approve them, I want it to be obvious that the user has not edited the photos yet. After the user edits them, I want them to be labeled “Awaiting Review” and they will be sent to my admin area where I can review the images and approve or deny them. The current admin panel has a page where I can see the pending images, but when I click “Approve” or “Deny” the page does not refresh, but if I refresh it manually, it reflects the changes I made. This needs to be fixed, or the whole system be replaced with something different.
-The script I used was originally setup to host a variety of different media types, such as audio, vector, illustrations, etc. As such, there are a lot of pages and references to these different pages that are not necessary, as I will not be using them. It would help clean up the site if those files were removed, and the options for those options in the admin panel removed, as well as the entries in the database.
-The current Captcha system is not good enough, it is a limited group of images that have different characters, and I would like a more traditional Captcha system implemented. Also, there is a captcha on the admin login page, I feel this is unnecessary, so I would like it removed.
-I would like to implement a Forum similar to the Fotolia forum: http://us.fotolia.com/forum/
-I would like it to be inline with the site the same as it is on the main page with the forum in the content area, and I would like it to be simple like the Fotolia forum, pretty much identical except different colors and icons, and I need a way to login as an admin and manage posts and what not. An existing forum system could be modified to fit this, but I am not that familiar with that.
-I need someone to fully test the site before I start marketing it, this means you need to sign up as a photographer and a buyer, upload photos, purchase photos, request payouts, etc. You will need a Paypal account to help me test the site, any payment you send will be refunded immediately after we are done testing that area, and I will adjust your credit balance when a payment is not necessary.
-On the signup form, the
