Newbie Questions

Greetings all,

I am considering moving my 8 year old 4Images Gallery to Piwigo but I wanted to ask a couple of questions.

1.  I installed a test copy of version 2.2 RC4 and noticed that there is a "Gallery" and "Upload" directory.  Now all the photos I migrated using the pLoader (love it btw) ended up in the "Upload" directory with virtual Album names.  Is that the correct behavior?   What exactly is the "Gallery" directory for? 

2.  Would it be "better" to create physical galleries (aka 4Images) or just go with the flow and use Virtual?

2.  My gallery has over 10,000 photos and I average over 30,000 unique visitors a month according to google analytics

3.  I noticed that if you install the BBCode Bar plugin that leaving comments becomes impossible

Yes. That's the normal behavior.

When you have physical category (a folder uploaded to /galleries/) then a category with the folder's name is created and the pictures are associated to that gallery. That way you can assosiacte these images to other virtual galleries but that images will remain in the physical (obligatory) (<--- I'm not 100% sure, please someone check this).
But if you have virtual galleries (the /upload/ folder) you can move images from one category to other or associate them to multiple categories very easily.

That's not a problem.

I'm using 2.1.6 with this same plugin and my users (guests and registered) have no problem posting comments. (proof: http://art.politeia.in/picture.php?/1720/category/6 )

Re: Newbie Questions

Umm the failure to write a comment acts the same on your website.  I wonder if this is a Mac/Safari thing?

Can you describe more precisely the "problem"/"bug" as I think I'm having something similar. Let me explain, (with Firefox) when I click on the comment to write, it immediately unclicks and the only way is to click in the author and with TAB change to the comment spot. <-- if this is your problem, then it's a bug and I/you must report it.

I don't think is browser related as I'm having this problem with Firefox 3.6.16 and Chrome 10.0.648.204. With IE 8.0.7610 works, btw.

You describe what I experience exactly.  While we are smart enough to figure out a "work around" I highly doubt most of my users would be so patient.

This is not true. The plugin ([extension by plg] Virtualize) will move the migration files.

The folder ./galleries is only for adding photos via FTP (old historical method).

Re: Newbie Questions

I know this bug for FF4, not FF6.3.. strange

Anyway I'm updating the plugin with a new javascript implementation : markItUp! (a jQuery plugin)
It's done but I've some problems with the interoperability with SmiliesSupport so... W&S, it must be completed for the official release of 2.2.0 ;)

Thanks! 2.2.0 released today so we're waiting for updates on your plugin.
