Discussion & Troubleshooting / Search/Show all images

« on: June 17, 2009, 01:13:49 AM »

I saw it in the forums once before and now I cannot find it. Does anyone know how you can do a search and have every image show up? I suppose I could put a keyword in every image like "all" but if I ever forgot to put that in one image then my scheme would not really work. Thanks for any tips.

Hi, I have the same problem. In the last two years since the original post, has anyone figured out a way to do this?

Don't need the go button--at least not for now. Most people just hit enter to start the search.

Regarding the license and copyright: when I registered, I noted that my intent is to buy a license and copyright for the software. I just want to evaluate and make sure that I can make it all work before paying for it. My full intent is to pay for it shortly as soon as I figure out a few bugs. The last software I was using (Gallery2), I abandoned because there were too many issues that could not be resolved. I have the site in a test version in a non public directory for now which is what the registration told me to do while I evaluate the software.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Category list not showing up on all pages

« on: June 11, 2009, 11:04:15 PM »

On the home page of my site:

http://dananeibertstock.com/~danane5/stock/index.php

you can see there is the list of all the categories I have so far. But if you click into any of the categories, that list disappears. I have the same code on the category pages as I do on the home page. So there must be something in the code that is "turning off" the list on the category pages. I tried looking into the code to see where the if/then type of code is but I can't figure it out. Anyone know of a quick way to make the categories show up? Thanks for any help.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Search not working on some pages

« on: June 11, 2009, 11:00:30 PM »

The search function is not working on some parts of my site. Is this a 4images issue or have I buggered up my code somehow?

If I search for "girl" here:
http://dananeibertstock.com/~danane5/stock/index.php
search works fine.

Now, if I stay on that page with the search results and search again, I automatically get rerouted to the advanced search page (which means it didn't find any images). This would be a problem if someone came to my site and searched for "girl", saw the results, didn't like them and maybe refined their search to "woman". At that point, they would think I don't have any pictures of a "woman". Anyone with any ideas what is going on?

NEVER MIND! Per the "buggered up my own code" above--that's exactly what I did. All is fixed.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Image keywords, description and download link <--how to extract automatically?

« on: June 11, 2009, 06:50:24 PM »

I add new images to my site via FTP. I add the thumbnail images to the thumbnail folder. I add the detail images to the media folder. I add the download images to a separate download folder. Then I logon on to my site and use the check for new images function. Here are my issues when I do this:

When I add new images, is there a way to make the IPTC information for the keywords and description automatically import without having to open each and every image in admin and clicking the IPTC button for each image description and keyword?

Also, for the details page, I have the images set to 600 pixels wide. But for the download image, I want people to get a 1200 pixel wide image. So I have a separate folder with the 1200 pixel wide images on the server. But when I add images I have to manually go into each image and input the information of where that 1200 pixel wide image is. Can I modify the import function to automatically enter that info for me. I am using a consistent naming and location for the 1200 pixel wide images (I used the same name for the thumb, detail, and download image but just stored in different folders). So for each image I have:

Thumbnail <--automatically configured for each image by the 4images software
Detail Image  <--automatically configured for each image by the 4images software
Download Image  <--right now I have to edit each image and tell it where to find this.

Thanks for any help on these issues.


More info:
So I think these modifications need to be done in the checkimages.php file. I see everything in the file relating to my above items: image description, image keywords and download URL. I've tried modifying a few lines but can't figure out how to get it done. It looks like it would be a really easy modification but I can't figure it out.
