Photo Gallery Uploader Issues

Postby Geoff » Sun Dec 06, 2015 2:12 pm

The photo gallery has recently been undergoing some major changes. Mainly to make sure it's mobile friendly and a bit more future proof (the forum will follow suit eventually).

Whilst working on this I have discovered that the form allowing users to submit an image for inclusion was broken. Consequently photos had been uploaded but no notifications where sent to me. There are some lovely pics but I have no idea who sent them so I can't give a credit if I decide to publish them.

If you recognise any of the below then let me know...

Photo Gallery Uploader Issues

Just noticed an error on the photo gallery. If you add an album but dont have anything it it, it will count it as the number of albums, but wont show it.

Im sure you have nothing to do with this.

Hi Haroldtync

I have noticed this, presumably you are talking about the "New Additions" album (last one in the gallery). It's only used as a temporary store while I sort the picture descriptions etc, but it gets public views which add to the count. When I move the pics to their proper places the view count still shows, although there are no pics remaining. A bug in the software for sure, but I have found a workaround. If I delete this album and re-create it then the count is reset to zero.

Nobody has claimed these photos and they have had nearly 500 views. I think the best way forward is if I add them to the gallery with "supplied by an anonymous visitor" or something like that. Should anyone claim them in the future I will be glad to add their info as the contributor.
