I'm transferring my Gallery 1 images to Gallery 2 and it seems to work fine, with one exception. The photo titles are often 'truncated,' and only partial information is transferred. For instance, if the title contains 25 words, perhaps only the first 20 transfer. Short titles transfer fine. I've been looking around at the admin page for awhile, but before I blow something up I thought I'd ask if there's a way to increase the number of words/characters allowed in photo titles. Our Gallery 2 is set up using Carbon 1.1.1 and Matrix 1.1.0, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any ideas! |

g2 and g1 have different fields for each photo.
g2 has:
- 128 character long title
- 255 character long summary
- very, very long (65kbyte+) description
when importing from g1, you need to map your g1 fields to the g2 fields.
the default mapping is g1 caption -> g2 title.
but you can change that on the import screen.
you can map the g1 caption to g2 title AND g1 caption to g2 summary.
changing the field sizes in g2 is not easy, needs coding etc.
