Re: Pictures from Someone Else in my Album

[Reboekah]

Thanks for fixing this quota... I got stopped by the setting also.

Are there any guidelines as to size? (Kb? Pixel widths? Max by contributor?)

Also - there are some other artists' work appearing when I view my albums in thumbnail form (specifically the "06 Team" and "07 Color") which are not listed in the album count... don't know whether it is a "coding" problem or not, but since the additional pictures are identical for both albums, I think it may be something in the board...

There are only a few settings for 'maximum' on images:

The maximum for a single image is 1024KB

Max width or height for uploaded pictures: 1600 pixels

Maximum for each member: 30 MB of space

Re: other artists works in your albums:

I can see what you mean. I'm not sure what the source of the error is, but I'll look into it.

Okay, figured out what was going on with pictures from other people showing up in your Albums.

Turns out that the programmers changed what "Album Keywords" does. Instead of your album coming up in a search, it is instead pulling any pictures from ANYONE who uses that same keyword on their picture.

Apparently enough people are asking how to turn this 'feature' off that in the next update of the Gallery script that there will be an admin option for turning it off.

But, in the meantime, the solution is not to put anything in your Album Properties in the box next to "Album Keyword". I changed the properties of the two albums you were really having problems with, Reboekah, but you might want to check your other albums.

Thanks Julieann, I was having the same problem with my pics...

[Reboekah]

Thanks for the information and the checking on the gallery cross-referencing.

Isn't administration fun?!

Given I wasn't paying attention to my picture sizes, is there an option to "reload" an image while retaining the comments from everyone?

[Julieann]

Well, there COULD be (I know of a way), but I would need to do some code alterations. Kinda silly it isn't built-in, isn't it? 

I'm going to be pretty busy this week, but I can see about working on that. 

[Julieann]

Well, I should have been writing, but noooOOOOOOOooooo, this was bugging me.

So, problem now solved. While viewing a picture, you will now see an option just below it to "Replace File". Using this, you can replace said picture while keeping all view counts, ratings and reviews intact.

Have fun!

Writing? Me - I should be drawing (or finding a job or...)

Woo Hoo!!!     Time to get the collection cleaned up...

Have fun!

Heh...! 

Y'know - you've gotten me started on a MAJOR update to the "Bird Scramble Archive" site... Just getting the structures in place now, but the artwork has been scanned.... once that is together, then comes the second scan session - all the text! <sheesh>
