picture storing hierarchy
« on: October 05, 2002, 07:13:20 AM »
I'm used to some other galleries, who stores the pictures in a hierarchy structure with directories and subdirectories, as how categories and sub categories should be shown.

I've looked into 4images, and it stores all categories in one folder (even subcat and subsub.. etc). With a big gallery, this system get's quite messy, specially if it is alot of subcategories.

Is there any hope of an modification for this?

I know the cat_id could be changed to a text string, instead of representing a number, but it would mess up alot of the db tabel chemas.
What about one extra tabel attribute in category, which tells where the location of the directory is? like in my_egallery...

Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
1. Forum rules
2. FAQ
3. Search

ok.
thx for fast reply! :)
to bad it's not going to happen though.
I looked through the code, and see it need lots of work to have it worked as I wanted.
Could be possible to set up with symlinks, but it would just clutter up and make a big mess in the end.
To bad though. I really liked your gallery system.
Guess it'll be  G2 then.
