The only unresolved issue I have right now is that sometimes the list of owners does not update when you switch to a friend’s photos. As a temporary fix for this, I added a manual refresh link to the top of the draggable box that always does the trick.

If anyone has any issues with the new design, such as things not displaying right or not working, please let me know!

EDIT: I was just informed that the box does not work correctly in Internet Explorer (what else is new?).  I’m working on fixing it asap.

If you were wondering how I was able to do this, heres a quick run through (note: this requires scriptaculous):

The PHP

$owners = getOwnerList();
	if(is_array($owners))
	{
		echo "<p>";
		for($i=0; $i<count($owners); $i++)
		{
			if(!$i==0){ echo ", "; }
			echo "<a href="javascript:highlightUserPics('".$owners[$i]['uid']."')">";
			echo $owners[$i]['name'];
			echo "</a>";
		}
		echo "</p>";
	}
	else
	{
		echo "<p>No Owners</p>";
	}

The Javascript

function highlightUserPics(owner)
{
	if(lastOwner!=null)
	{
		var lastOwner_classes = document.getElementsByClassName(lastOwner);
		for(n=0;n<lastOwner_classes.length;n++)
		{
			lastOwner_classes[n].style.border = 'none';
		}
	}

	var owner_classes = document.getElementsByClassName(owner);
	for(i=0;i<owner_classes.length;i++)
	{
		if(lastOwner == owner)
		{
			owner_classes[i].style.border = 'none';
		}
		else
		{
			owner_classes[i].style.border = '4px #516fa6 solid';
		}
	}
	if(lastOwner==owner){lastOwner=0;}
	else{lastOwner = owner;}
}

Also, I got rid of a very old bug that I kept forgetting about that appeared if you chose a user with no photos.  Before, an ugly PHP error appeared, and many people thought the application was malfunctioning even though in reality, the user just didn’t have any photos available.  Now, a nice little message informing the user as such appears instead of the ugly error.

On another note, I might be adding some new features soon depending on whether I get the time or not.  I’m currently balancing college and another web design job, so I’ll see how it all works out.

I would like say thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on my application, especially to those who took the time to send me messages.  It really means a lot to me.  urPics has been steadily increasing in users every day, and should reach the 700th user mark soon.  It also recently passed the 666th user mark without a hitch, so that should be a good sign :)  All I ask of you is to spread the word about my application to other friends on Facebook, but if you would like to donate to help motivate me to work more on urPics, then feel free to do so using the link at the bottom of this page, thanks!
