[QUOTE="Anthrax, post: 155558, member: 46494"] Glad you liked it... these strips are simply brilliant and very nicely done (check out them yetis!!!). Well, I think to overcome the gaps there is no other way than asking the server for a picture and automatically request the next one when it could'nt be displayed. To decrease the server loads, already found pictures could be remembered in a list (thinking database...). Of course this would ultimately result in a huge amount of additional expense and I hope this issue isn't too far beyond your scope, cause this would enrich your plugin even more! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned before, another field for sequentially numbered cartoons would be very nice and should cover a whole lot of additional comics. If you plan on incorporating this TimmyT, please let the plugin remember the last selected number when it's left. (don't wanna run up to #423312 again everytime, do you? But that's just my two cents, and yes I know your focus was on [B]daily [/B]comics ;-) ) As for a numeration placeholder i'd like to suggest the following (please forgive me TimmyT for bothering you with such triviality): simply making it [#] wouldn't work as you certainly figured already, because /00001.jpg => /0000[#].jpg would result in 000010.jpg and therefore break on the 10th. So the placeholder would have to be like [#n] => [#], [##], [###] and so on, filling in zeros where a digit isn't needed for the current number yet. One more thing (stop me if I'm getting to greedy): right now we have these to play with, according to your readme: Placeholders ------------ The plugin will replace the following placeholders: [yy] = year (07) [yyyy] = year (2007) [MM] = month (03) [dd] = day (08) common sense tells me that this should be more than enough, to cover the dates... BUT some server admins like to add some extra complexity by having paths like this: .../07/dec/xx.jpg .../07/march/xx.jpg so what about prophylactically adding [mmm] and [mmmm] to cover evil paths like these? bye and thx once again, Anthrax [/QUOTE]
