Title: [REQ] How to "View All Photos" in entire gallery?
Post by: sparky on May 17, 2009, 06:28:09 PM

I searched this forum and hope I didn't miss anything before posting.

I have over 400 photos in dozens of categories.

I was wondering if it's possible to be able to allow all users to see all photos at once.  As it stands, they must look inside each category.  With a single link it would be nice to show all photos in one master category as well.

version 1.7.2

Thank-you!

Thanks for your response.  Your suggestion displays all photos but only those uploaded by me....  I'm not the only user though so it doesn't display everything in the gallery.

I ended up manually editing the database file by adding a new keyword to all 400+ photos and then searching by this new common keyword.  It's such a sloppy solution and will easily break as soon as somebody uploads new photos without the common keyword.

Really hoping this was already solved here with a simple code modification.   :?

search.php?search_keywords=*** should do it ;) (note number of asterisks "*" must be as the minimum keyword length set in includes/constants.php, default it's 3)

Thank-you for your response.

For whatever reason, the solution did not work. 

search.php?search_keywords=***

"Your search resulted in no matching records."

:?

In constants.php, MIN_SEARCH_KEYWORD_LENGTH is set to 3

OK thank-you.  Looks good.

I'll give it a try and let you know.
