I am building a game related with the picture of the client from his album.
I need him to authorize access his album, but can I use his pictures?
For example, imagine a game of finding errors. I use one of his pictures in my app, change 7 objects, and ask him to find the changes.
Is it possible?
The user will be able to give you access to their pictures. But in terms of identifying objects in the picture and making changes to them, you will have to code in some pretty advanced image processing functionality.

How do I get the list of albums that a photo belongs to in iOS?
I'd appreciate an simple example or even just a link to documentation. I'm assuming this is simple, but my iOS skill level is very low and my google fu is failing me - I'm probably not using the right terms.
Scenario for context: The user has already synced a large collection of photos to their computer through the app. Now they're "archiving" (deleting) the oldest photos and videos to free up space. I want to allow them to preserve (not archive/delete) favorited photos and certain albums, no matter how old they are. I'm going to sort photos by date, filter out the favorited ones, filter out the ones that belong to excluded albums.
I am about to start developing an e-learning platform where users will be able to watch educational videos for school curriculums and take quizes and so on. The part im not sure about is how exactly should i go about creating each course on the website. Should I create it as a static page where all the content is added manually through code for each course and each video, or should i make it as a CMS whereby each video for each course is uploaded through an upload form and then displayed (using paperclip for example)? Can someone explain to me which is the best approach and why? Baring in mind that video uploading will not be on the user's part, only I will be uploading and adding content to the website.
You should go the CMS way, because it will make your life easier. By generating a lot of static pages, you will see that there are things you want to reuse at another point and then you have to code them another time. With a CMS you can predefine objects like a survey or video content, so that the admin or course leader can use these things in a more efficient way. Mostly, admins aren't techies, so they would be thankful for such a CMS.
This is also important for the following development. Let me give you an example:
You created hundrets of surveys, but then somebody discovers a bug. You need to change your code in too much places. While generating only one model of a survey means also only one fix.
I have been struggling with an efficient way to store and manage the pictures I need in a Ruby on Rails app I am building. I will use a real estate app as an example:
In my real estate app I have a House model and a House controller. On the House #show page I want to list information on the house as well as display pictures for that particular house. Some of the houses have five pictures, others have one. What is the best way to store these pictures and display the ones that pertain to that particular house?
Obviously I do not want to store them with the app, that would be way too bulky. I have tried using Amazon S3 buckets and the Amazon SDK but was unable to get it up and running. Amazon's documentation is all over the place. I currently have pictures stored in a Google Cloud Storage Bucket. They have a public link so an individual image is easy to display. The problem lies in the fact that each house might have a different number of pictures associated with it.
Google's documentation is difficult to navigate, especially when it comes to Ruby. If there were an easy way to access my bucket and filter the files stored there, this would be a breeze. Any ideas? Does anyone know how to do this in Ruby? This type of photo storage is very common and I am surprised at the difficulty I've had in getting it set up. Thanks for your help.
Amazon S3 is one of the best options out there, but it can be a little confusing. Try the paperclip gem for adding file associations to your models.
It gives you multiple options for how to store files and makes it easy.
Create mobile application, which gives the user ability to look for certain places (payment terminals) nearby and to add new ones. Of course user will have ability to edit places, change some of their meta-info fields, add photos, etc.
I can understand, how to implement such things at the mobile device side(i mean interface and model), but can't imagine, what i have to do at the "google-side" to store locations and get them to device.
I'm looking through developers.google.com for appropriate service, but google have so much different "Maps" services and their variety makes me disappointed, which one can give me necessary instruments.
I'm sorry, if my question is too stupid but i can't realize how to implement such functionality.
If anybody ever made such applications, please help me to find, at least, the service, which can help me to implement such functionality. Sample code at github will be the great!
You're looking to build a "back-end" or a database to store the locations that you are interested in. This means that you will save them on a server, that you will access through requests over the internet from your iPhone.
For a really simple back-end to set up, check out Parse that is very simple to implement.
I'm looking for a solution to a particular query. I've got a website that I have made for a client and I coded my own image uploader/thumbnail creator but it's not handling what he wants very well.
So basically I'm looking for alternatives, and someone suggested using Wordpress and one its plugins to help upload albums. This seems straight forward after a bit of reading. But can I integrate it with my current set up:
A user logs into their account on the site (I've set up user accounts in a DB),
They see which albums are associated with this account.
They open the album and the images appear.
So I guess what I'm asking is, how configurable is wordpress to fit in with my current set up. I need to be able to only display albums related to the logged in user to them.
Tbh if my current way worked consistently (the upload/thumbnail creation is all done in PHP), I would prefer to use that, but this has gone on for a while and I just want to give him a clean solution.
You can consider to use this wordpress plugin:
