EE Wishes: Photographer Settings

[Bundy]

Pekka,

1. Is it possible to add a photo for each photographer, so that when you click the link for the photographer's bio you also get a small photo (maybe 200 px in the longest dimension) along with the email, website, ... etc.

2. The link for the photographer's website doesn't work for external sites. It only seems to work for sites within the EE gallery. It would be nice to link to a site outside of EE, for those photographers who already have their own sites.

3. Is it possible to create a mailto: link for the photographer's email. Also, it it possible to have it display properly as "pekka@photography-of-the.net" instead of "pekka at photography-of-the dot net". I'm sure there is a reason, but it makes it harder to read or identify as an email without the @ symbol. Most peoples eyes move towards the @ for contact information.

Thanks

Al Bundy

Yes, this is coming.

Make sure that the homepage has http:// in front.

The AT and DOT notation has become a major standard in the web because of all email viruses and robots searching for email addresses. The danger of them getting into a Javascript popup page (or checking NOSCRIPT data) is faint, but I do consider additional protection a neccessity these days.

Even better protection would be to replace @ and . with images, I might do that later.

That feature can be made optional, I'll put that on todo list.

As usual Pekka, you seem to have already thought of everything before we mention them.

If the AT and DOT notation are required for protection then so be it, though if the @ and . can be replace with images of an @ and . then it would be the best of both worlds. Especially if it offers even better protection having images for the @ and the .

All of these @ and . starts to get confusing after a while. Almost toungue twister-like. :)
