Hi all,
I am looking to pick a few brains! I am currently developing a website for an Auctioneering client. Its your run on the mill site where a visitor can view properties etc. Currently working on the admin area where the administrator can add properties, update them etc.
I have hit a stumbling block in my design - that being how to handle pictures of properties. Granted the admin user can upload photos but wondering what is the best way to operate this, should they upload any size image and resize on they fly as 3 different sizes are needed (small thumbnail, medium size for list page and large). Or upload the one and resize when needed at runtime? Also, any opinions wether to safe the images in a database or in a folder? If uploading to a folder, should the user be presented with a file manager where they can create a folder for the image and upload it to it, etc.?
Has anyone experience of developing such and any pearls of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated. I am a .NET developer but its not as such technlogy I am looking for advice on but the best practise.
Cheers..
