1. Is there a way to not have gallery rename my photos? I use remote to upload, and cannot find this option in remote, or gallery. 2. Also is there a way to hide the text like filename date created etc. I just want a nice gallery with no clutter. filename is the one i'd like to remove the most. if there isn't any wat to remove any or all of these, are there plans to add something like this? I was able to remove this stuff with g1 by editing out the php file. 3. This is my 3rd or fourth time trying g2. I like it much better than g1, and applaud your work.... but. are you ever going to KILL the shifting images/layout in IE? it is so annoying having to scroll all over. I tried some fixes like enclosing the content of global.tbl into a table at a set size and that helps to a degree but not always. Thanks for any help you can give. |

1. when does it rename your photos? it should only do this if there is a name conflict.
2. it only shows the "filename" for an item when there is no title. (of course, the title may be the filename too?) edit the title to show something different
2a. you can create a layouts/matrix/albumBody.tpl.local or singleBody.tpl.local to customize the display
3. we just gave up on and got rid of the IE7 standards compliance thing yesterday.. this means now someone can go through our layouts/themes and clean them up to work with plain old IE6.. don't know when this will happen though.

Thanks for the super fast response.
1.It does the naming thing automatically it appears. Maybe not I'll pay more attention and upload a new batch and see what happens.
2. How do I edit the title? Can I just make it blank? and have it not show anything?
2a. Thanks I will try that. A side note, it possible to hide the login box? I have a member management script, so the one in gallery would be redundant, and probrably confuse some users.
3. YHEY! there is a god. I take it this isn't in the ltest snapshot then? Can I just kill the headers calling the ie7 shizzle? or should I wait till you guys release the unie7 version?
Thanks again.

2. edit photo, general settings
2a. in the latest snapshot you can choose to have the login option as a link, the form in the sidebar, or both.
3. latest snapshot will work; alpha 4 is also coming soon.

I have the latest snapshot, downloaded it about 5 hours ago. Where is the option for the link? EDIT**** Disregard... Found it.
Does this shifting occur because of IE, or the IE 7 stuff?
If it's IE, then I am screwed LOL. I really don't have a clue to keep it from happening if it's IE itself.
Thanks

A new question. I got ffmpeg installed this evening and tried it, works great. One question though is there a way to grab a capture from the thumb from somewhere other than the very first frame?
Thanks

Is there a way to strip all titles from every image? each albums contains 100's of pictures.
Also I found the link thing for login. Totally missed it earlier when installing.
One last question, I think
When uploading files, I found gallery remote will rename if I force resize.
When I don't do that though gallery doesn't obey the default size and has multiple versions of the same file at different sizes. I want gallery to only have one size of 800. Do I have to reszie everything manually? then upload them?

see
file an RFE for GR.. sounds like it uploads using the temp filename after resizing.

Cool that helped, what about the other things I asked. Sorry I didn't put them all in one message.
Thanks

jamzyamz,
You can grab a frame x seconds into a movie, in 'edit movie'. You'll have to instal/enable the 'Thumbnail Page' module to take advantage of this.

Thanks Itcheg. I will take a look at that.
I have the shifting thing fixed. Took a bit of template surgery. It's not great but for now it'll do.
I belive you can now upgrade between versions of g2 is this stable? Before I go full blown with g2 I want to make sure.

When I try to do anything with both thumb mods I get errors. Here what it said after doing the offset for the movie thumbnail

I can not delete the file. I get the same error.
Posts: 8601
set offset to zero, then you can probably delete it.
try this:
1) deactivate and uninstall ffmpeg and thumbpage.
2) install each
3) activate ffmpeg
4) activate thumbpage
5) set an offset for a movie item
do you get the unsupported operation error?
if not, can you find a sequence of steps that does reproduce the error?

I can't even get edit movie to set offset. as soon as I click on any of the admin menu items for the file I get that same error.
I did uninstall both, I'll wait to hear what you think about not being able to do the offset before trying reinstalling.
I added the movie with thumb prior to trying to offset, maybe this caused the problem?
Thanks
James

whe trying to move movie I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/verified/public_html/members/g2/modules/core/ItemMove.inc on line 309
Posts: 8601
oh right, ItemEdit shows the thumbnail in the sidebar.. so if it can't make the thumbnail then it can't bring up those pages.. erg.
try:
install both
activate ffmpeg, activate thumbpage
add movie
set offset
add the movie is some album other than where your broken thumbnail is, to avoid problems with that.

Did that... same thing. I added the movie with create thumbnail first. then again with don't create thumb at upload, both times same error when going to the offset.
Once it gives that error everything whacks out. I went in and deleted the entire cache and the files yet my album still lists the files.
All the menu items with these broken files give the same exact error.

is there anyway to rescan the directorys in albums folder to recognize that the files are gone? a scan files script would be good for backup/restore purposes too.

Line 309 of itemMove.inc
$peers[$peerItem->getId()]['thumbnail'] = $thumbnail->getMemberData();that's the line it's stopping on when trying to move it.
in every option from the pull down I get an error from the .inc file (for the function) on the line for get thumbnail.

i'm having this same issue after setting the offset to a movie. cvs version of gallery is about a week old. i can't perform actions on the movie without getting errors. any ideas?
Posts: 8601
make sure the ffmpeg module is active.. if you updated from cvs the module may be upgraded.
Posts: 43
I updated from CVS again and checked the modules as well as updated ffmpeg. I got around the error, but i can't specify an offset without getting a new error now. It looks like work is being done on the module. I'll wait for alpha 5.
ffmpeg version cvs, build 4736
gallery cvs dated 1/1/05
