We have a website I'm converting from classic ASP and am trying to put into Umbraco. The key feature of the website is for members to be able to upload photos.
For starters, I'm torn as to whether I should do the photos as a Media node or a Content node with a link to the image's location on disk?
Members submit a description, category, and brand with their photos. Categories and brands are represented as nodes in my content tree. So I need to figure out the best way to represent those to the members as well. I'm thinking of doing it as a drop down with indented category names as the text and the node id as the value.
I'm not sure what the best way is to link the photo with the member? Umbraco separated the users from the members so I'm assuming I don't pass the member id when creating the node. Create a custom field to store it?
Is there a way to associate the photos with the member in the admin? I'd want to do this if somebody uploaded a bunch of garbage. It would be easier to find/delete them by just going through the member's photos.
