Photo Module Pages For Web Interface

Previously our web page interface for ZonePro SQL did not have any Photo Module pages because there was no way to view any of the images. Now the web interface will have a Photo Module section. You can only view photos and PDFs that have been copied to the internet database, but you can see the basic field information for all the photo records. We will also include an option to add photos and PDFs to ZP SQL directly from the web interface. In this case those images will be stored on the internet without a local path. The other limitation, at least for the moment, is that there is no Batch Loader option for the web. You have to add photos one at a time. With the addition of this feature we will be discontinuing our experiment with the Web Album internet option. Thanks to all the customers who helped test that feature.

Online Photo Storage Beta

One of the trade-offs with the anywhere availability of ZP SQL is that it doesn't always work very well with the Photo Module. The problem is that the Photo Module works by storing the file path to the desired photo or document. But once you are no longer connected to your office network, that file path isn't valid. One solution to this issue is to allow customers to store photos on the internet. These photos would then be accessible through ZP SQL regardless of where the user is. To that end we are beta testing a new service we are calling WebAlbum. This service allows ZP SQL customers to store JPGs and PDFs as part of their ZP SQL internet account. As of now this service is only accessible through a web page interface. You can try this for yourself by going to the Property Screen at the ZP SQL web demo site and clicking on the "Photos & PDFs" button.
