Working on a template for a Panoramic photoblog

[Umbi]

Hello,

I am sure there is someone out there who knows already the answer for this and/or has a good tip for me.

I need to set up a template which allows me to:

1] display thumbnails

2] Click on the thumbnails and you open up a new page in _Blank fashion where the original shot size is displayed.

3] Finally click on the main image and you open up in _self fashion a new page where the same image is shown in 360 version, that is MOV (quickplayer plugin used) or FLASH (Flash player used).

The standard templates I have found so far do not give the flexibility of clicking on the pic and open up a new page.

If you click on the picture you are usually redirected to the next Pic.

I understand that TAG can be modified and avoid to move to the next pic.

But the problem is, how to tell the DB I have the same pic in the following formats?:
1] JPG
2] MOV
3] Flash

See a screenshot which may clarify the design I am trying to set up:

I would probably create a new table & addon like this:

Ah, Thanks Jay,

That sounds like a good idea....

But how do I say to admin to update also the new table?

Also which tag should I have use to point to the other table?

Would you have any link I can look at to get myself documented on that?

It's called an Admin-Addon.

Admin-Addons allow you to include code into the Pixelpost Admin.
For example, with some work, you could actually add an additional upload form for the MOV/SWF right on the new image page.

Great stuff Jay,

I will look into this!
