Can't add pictures to gallery?
« on: February 01, 2015, 06:12:13 pm »
Hi,


I'm sure I'll get told this could have been asked somewhere else but I made the site today, and have had a lot of issues with things loading up correctly. I' typically have to make a change, save it then wait about 10 minutes before I can check it's working, before trying that a couple more times before it decides to actually do it.
Despite that one thing won't change, I'm not sure how many steps I could really me missing to mess this up.
I made a gallery and just want to add pictures to it. Shouldn't that be horribly simple? I'm not sure what I'm missing here but when I press 'add images' the drop down section just says 'select album' and offers neither of the two I've made. If I ignore that and try to continue it chastises me for missing out that step...
I don't get what I could be doing wrong and I've given it hours to adjust to the fact that i have made the galleries.

This will be a core part to my site so I'm a bit upset that this isn't actually working.

Any ideas? I'm sure it's something simple but I've spent hours of today staring at the same screen with no result.

let me know if you need any more info or something.~

Thanks.

Are you hosted on createaforum.com? My gallery system does not have the text select album or add images?

Yes, of course. :)
See the attachments for the screenshots, hopefully they'll help?

You are using the user galleries system from the first screenshot.

There are two types of categories in the gallery system. First main level categories which are added on the main gallery page when you visit the gallery index page. You can add more by clicking on the "Add Category" link in the footer.

Then the second are member galleries/user galleries.  These are setup by clicking the MyGallery link which allows a member to setup their own mini gallery if they have the "Personal gallery" permission for their membergroup under admin permissions. These galleries are found by default under the member galleries category on the main gallery page.

The user galleries require a user to create categor under their MyGallery area or you can auto create a default category. Under Admin -> Gallery Settings -> "Create a Default User Gallery Category" and have that setting checked

Sorry I don't really understand your reply. Are these galleries unusable? Can you not have one the group adds to?
What is the 'user gallery' for if no one can edit it??
I'm pretty sure the process I took already worked the exact same way as this 'my gallry' option which isn't letting me add images to it. it just starts it off, and pretty much creates a link that ends where I tookt he screen shots?

I'm not actually sure what you're even explaining. Are you explaining how to find them? I'm trying to just add images to the current ones/ They were made by me so I don't see how I couldnt add to them.
Sorry its difficult to type Im having issues with my hands right now.

There are two types of categories. One is main categories which any user can add to if they have permission. The other type is personal/user galleries where only the user can add to their own gallery.

To create a main level category. Click on gallery tab then click "Add Category" under "Gallery Admin Panel" to setup a category. Once done you can add pictures to that category.

Ok it seems to work now I've made a new one so I'll try deleting the old ones/ Maybe it's because I didn't delete these and try again.
