We can have more than 4 images at species pages- Around 15,000 images already inserted

[J.M. Garg]

Dear members,

Due to continuous efforts by our members (in particular Bhagyashri ji, D S Rawat ji, TSP Kumar ji, Surajit ji, Anurag ji, Gurcharan Singh ji, Sushant ji & Pankaj ji, Sandhya ji, Nidhan ji, Vijayasankar ji, Prabhukumar ji, Nadeem ji etc. as per details at Heroes of efi site), I think we already have 15,000 unique images at efi site. Lot of these are repeated at genera & family pages for comparative views. It has really been a good learning experience for those involved in inserting images.
Initially we have generally gone for only 4 images in a species page & these has been very useful in further identifications & validations.

I think with the system already well established, now we should go for more than four images if there are more aspects which we can be shown through thumbnail size images as is being followed at Biotik. However we may only keep four images at large size genera pages & large size family pages for comparative viewing.

I seek your views & feedback in the matter pl.

Dear Sir,

I agree it would make the species pages much more informative and useful to have Biotik style images of various aspects of the species whereever possible.

One feature i like in the Biotik.org thumbnails is the tooltip which identifies the feature highlighted in the particular image - 'Habit', 'Leaf', 'Fruit' and so on. Is there some way to specify the tooltip for each inserted image on the species/genera pages?

Thanks, Nadeem ji.

It should be very useful. But I don't know how to do it.

May be Dinesh ji can give some idea.
