Thread:Template talk:Ximg/Making this template more generic/reply (3)

Good ideas!

I've got the Template:Ximg generic-ified - now the first unnamed parameter takes a full URL. I also created one for my own use, Template:RLimg, which will be nice.

And thanks for the encouragement - it's a lot of fun playing around with this stuff. I'm learning a lot, and having a blast diving into documentation and experimenting. And Semantic MediaWiki probably would make my head explode, as I have a hard enough time understanding the parser bits of !

Now a character generator... that would be a project. Also, the more I see of Dungeon World, the more I like - awesome find!

Would you happen to have any idea on a way I could allow Gautham and the gang to upload the images to a specific directory on my site? I'd settle for any static directory, and not one of my choosing. I've been playing around with Wordpress plugins but haven't found anything that I've been able to get working right. My ideal is a password protected page that doesn't require a Wordpress login, that allows one to browse for an image and hit a button to upload it. If I was wanting to be fancy, maybe have a couple radio buttons for right and left align, and a caption box, and have it auto-generate the template code upon completing the upload. I created an FTP account for the purpose, but I'm running into a roadblock. It might be beyond my current abilities as I don't have any programming training, but I just thought I'd see if you knew of anything in your web-guru'ing experiences.
