Modifying the php code of Coppermine (or the theme whenever possible)

[kubizo]

Dear Coppermine Developers and Freelance Coders,

I'm looking for your help to develop some slight edits to Coppermine. The more can be done on the theme, the better, but because the features I'm looking for are essential for my website, if it is impossible to do it on the theme, I'm fine modifying Coppermine itself. I'm currently running CPG 1.5.12, planning to update to .16 asap.

Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
1) When the user uploads pictures, the pictures can only be EXACTLY either 800 x 600 or 600 x 800. This is not the max size, this is the exact size they must be. Also, they can only be JPG or PNG with 16 levels of grey. If the image does not respect the requirement (or if the user is trying to upload a file that is not an image) a pop-up should come out with a string I will provide and a hyperlink I'll also provide
2) The intermediate images should be the original images. No other files should be created, the files should NOT be re-encoded. They should just be left untouched. CPG should display the intermediate image page with the original files in it (PS: no need to worry about template layout - I'm working with a css specialist who is handling that)
3) The page displaying intermediate images should be modified as follows:
3a) There should be no frame (I'm pretty sure this is doable via template): just the image should be displayed
3b) I would like to add custom messages (which I will provide), right below the picture, before the thumbnail strip
3c) The link "Crop or rotate" should be just "Rotate" and users should NOT be able to crop images. They should just be able to rotate them by multiples of 90°. It is fine if you just do this in English (no need to translate the $lang_display_image(crop_pic) in other languages as well, I will never translate my website)
4) It should be possible to download an entire album as a zip file. I know there are some unofficial mods that do exactly that, it would be great if you could help me install one and make it work on my website. The link to "Download entire album as zip" should be visible on both the page displaying the album and the page displaying a picture belonging to that album, on top of the page (before the rest of the content). The link should not lead directly to the file, but to another page where the link to the file is (I need to put ads)
5) The slide-show should be disabled and the corresponding link on the upper left of the intermediate image should not be visible

My budget is around 150 USD. If the "download entire album as a zip file" feature is very complicated, I could either slightly increase the budget or give up that feature and bring the budget down to 100 USD.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi André!

Of course you can! Sorry I'm only replying now, but for some reason I was not able to set the email notification for this thread and yesterday I did not get connected! :-(

Please PM me! I would PM you, but as a newly registered user I can't.

Thanks, hope to talk soon!
