Wish List - Image Upload / Thumbnail / Company Slogan

[Roger]

First let me say Soholaunch is excellent!

I looked through the forum and searched but didn't see these topics covered, so here's my wish list...

IMAGE UPLOAD
A drop down list of images for products is nice when setting up pages like the shopping cart, but it would be nice if in the drop down list, there was an option titled, "Find On Local Computer" that when selected would pop up the box to upload a file. This would save many steps as well as time.

THUMBNAIL IMAGE
Sure it's possible to use editing software on a local PC to edit pics to make thumbnails, but many "newbies" lack the software and/or skills to pull this off correctly. Since Soholaunch is geared to make life much easier for all, why not have one upload and Soholaunch automatically creates the thumbnail.

For an example, see/install online photo software such as http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php

The mentioned software above actually creates the thumbnails from uploaded images.

COMPANY SLOGAN
In the "Base Site Template" you can add text to "Company Slogan or Motto" yet the text you add in this box is displayed in the site as Times New Roman (yuck!). Sure you can add <font size="Arial"> to this, but (again) Soholaunch is geared to where you don't have to know HTML. So this box needs some buttons (font type, size, color, etc.).

Let me know any questions and have a great day!

Any ideas to when or if Soholaunch will be offering things like this?

When you drop an image on a page, the latest version allows you to upload a file from your local computer without going to the file manager.

We have been looking for a good way to do this, but most online photo editing software requires you to recompile apache for installation. I will take a look at the link above to see if this would be a suitable solution.

We have many plans for customizing base site templates, and the overall menu system. Look for this in version 5.
