Feature suggestion: picfolder variable

["Gunnar Hjalmarsson" <gunnar at ringlink.org>]

The suggestion below was submitted by Richard Bozman as a support request.
Since it's a suggestion for a new feature rather than a request for help,
this list is a more appropriate place to discuss the matter.
This is the posting:
I would like an input item added in the newsite form that will allow a new
user to add the path to thier servers graphics folder.
This will allow the use of a $picfolder variable to use in the site code
where a graphic will be used.
This can also be expanded into the check sites to prove existance of
graphic files in the correct place.
This will eliminate the need for poor html users to alter the generated
site code to thier pic urls.
example: Please enter the path to your servers grapics folder.
http://my-site/gif/
test for the existance of the ending / add if needed then assign it to the
$picfolder.
In the customized html code area you can then say:
<img src="[picfolder]/graphicname.gif" width="100" height="100">
this will make bullet proof user code no mods needed.
This can be expanded into the ring appearance also, a place to post the
graphics names into variables $leftpic $rightpic etc.
