should i start a new folder for every set or group of photos, or should i just make myself a general folder for all my pictures?  I make bamboo rods and would like to start a folder of the work im on, or rods i just finished. as well as photos of the fish i catch, adventures im taking, ect.

It seems a little excessive to make a folder for every new trip or day out with the camera.

just curious!

I think it would a lot of sense to make a gallery for Fish Photos, as well as a gallery for Bamboo Rods. Maybe a gallery for a special trip, like your recent Wyoming to SD trip. I think that would be the easiest way for people to see them.

on the galleries where it scrolls the thumbnails of the photographs, there is a photo that gets hidden as you scroll. you cant ever click on it unless you get it while its scrolling from one set to the next.

I dunno if that makes much sense, you can see it on the gallery of bamboo. one photo gets hidden by the edge

Got it, I've added it to my list of bugs to fix. I'll let you know when I get that taken care of.

When uploading pictures, can you all look into, instead of looking up 1 picture at a time, you can upload a whole album or folder

fish4budz 12 years 7 months ago

i had trouble with this at first but figured it out.

 

when you go to add the photo look below the spot where your photo would be uploaded, it will say upload another item. click that and wait a sec. another uploading slot will appear. you can get as many of those as you want. just after clicking the upload button for each one it needs a second so wait like one or two seconds between clicking upload on each slot

i know that but i am talking about selecting a whole or part of a file and uploading it as a whole not as seperate pictures

Agreed - batch uploading would be a helpful feature for photo albums.

Thanks guys, batch uploading has been added to the list of feature requests.

Brennan,  I submitted several suggestions through the feedback link at the bottom but thought that I would add them here again.

- Events calendar module on dashboard and homepage shows the calendar date in reverse order (at least in the US).  I prefer month, day, year.  Also, the time is currently set to 24hr instead of 12hr.

- I suppose eventually this database will be linked with the membership database to draw in all our member info etc...

- I prefer links to websites out of the homesite to open in a new window so that users do not loose their link to the homesite. This may help in our retention numbers

additionally, I do not like the fact that these comments are titled with the leading part of the comment...should it not carry the title of the main topic so it works more like a forum?

hey why is my profile pic not my profile pic in this post?  It references the Admin pic.  Hmmm!

brennan.sang 12 years 6 months ago

I've got that on the list as well. Hopefully we'll start to get these little bugs ironed out in October. Thanks a million for all of your suggestions, keep 'em coming.

Inserting pictures into discussions, fishing reports etc.

I'm having trouble doing this.  Can you give us a few simple tips?

Thanks.

Still having issues with this. Can't figure out how to get them to display the size I want to. They seem to either show as gigantic photos (or parts of a gigantic photo) at the top of a post, or fairly small down in the body.  I've been getting by with some real crude workarounds, but I know there must be more efficient ways to do this.
Are there any generic Drupal tutorials you are aware that might help?

Thanks.
