Hi there, So I acquired the task of an already designed and developed web site (I was not the designer/developer) for a client who wants to not be limited to an apparent limit of 100 photos in a single gallery. I looked through the admin settings and could not find anywhere to change this. How do I configure this apparent maximum number of photos per gallery? Running gallery version 2.3.2 core 1.3.0.2, PHP version 5.3.5, Linux (Ubuntu)/Apache |

There is no limits imposed by the software.

It all depends on your hosting environment.

As Dave said, the app does not impose such limits but your client should bear in mind that dumping large numbers of items into few albums is not a good idea.

Thanks for the responses; much appreciated!
My client has fifteen galleries and in one has 100 images and says it won't let him upload a single image more.
In attempting to upload a file to this gallery just now, it uploaded fine, but when I go to the gallery's page where it shows only thumbnails, it shows 25 rows of four thumbnails and there is no pagination links to view thumbs past the 100 mark. When I click a thumbnail to see the larger image, the scrollable section below the image with all the thumbnails in it displays 100 thumbs. When I click on the last image, it's still displaying 100 thumbs, but it has the thumbs of the new images in it that I uploaded at the end.
I was thinking this might just be the "PGLightbox" theme? In the theme settings, the option was set to 25 rows per album page and 4 columns per album page, so I tried setting it to 35 rows per album page but nothing changed??
Thanks again for your help; it is very appreciated.

A url demonstrating the behavior would help us understand a bit more.
If there is no pagination then perhaps the theme was edited to remove those.
Try the default theme and see if the issue still exists, that would narrow it down to the theme.

Okay so I was able to increase the number of columns successfully in the single gallery itself (this gallery was obviously overriding the global settings) and now it can shows more rows on the page that shows all thumbnails. Not sure why there was no pagination for that page though, and I'm assuming it's the theme. I also found in the theme settings "MICROTHUMBS :: SET NUMBER OF MICROTHUMBS DIPLAYED (IF OPTION BELOW IS SELECTED WILL BE ADDED 1 OR 2 MORE MICROTHUMBNAILS TO SHOW FIRST AND LAST )" - so obviously this solves the problem for my client.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your precious time.
