What is the best way to play with graphics files and a database. Do I store the blob image in postgres and retrieve the images from there and display it to the screen? Or is it better to store these image files on the HD and save the path to images in the database and retrive the image using the stored path and file name?
How does OpenACS work with images? Are there articles to read about the topic?
Here is what I want to accomplish: I have say a 2 dozen or so image files (very small, less than 2K) that will grow in numbers over time, and I want to have an ad-form where a user can select from this collection of images. Perhaps a preview/thumbnail of what the images are (they are fairly small anyways), and a little checkmark beside each one, and a user shout be avlbe . The same image can be selected by more than 1 person.
I apologize prefusely, as I am a new user of OpenACS.
