BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displayed
 

Using vBGallery 1.0.0 (gold) I have my pictures in 5 main categories with several subfolders in each category.

I choose the main categories to each "act as a category" but not allow photos to be uploaded to them.. This way it forces users to post to the sub categories, but also displays totals on the main index page for each main category (I also set the index to only display one level). The gallery layout is quite nice this way.

However, I have discovered what I believe to be a bug when using this setup.

When a user wants to upload a file, under the "Please choose a category:" drop down box it lists all the subfolders (54 total) as one huge list. It no longer organizes them neatly underneath each category. I know if I set each main category NOT to act "as a category" it will be ok. However, that causes problems on the index. I don't see why that should affect the display in the upload dropdown box.

Can someone please help me with this bug/problem?

Thanks

I tried to check your license so I could see the gallery myself, but I'm having a problem finding the gallery at the URL you have listed. Can you post a link to it?

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displayed
 

I just edited my license to the exact address of the gallery.

Here is the address, though keep in mind the gallery isn't public yet.
http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com/pictures/

Click on "Upload" and look at the "Please choose a category:" dropdown box to see what I mean.

While you're looking at my gallery,
how can I make the top left "Horse Forums" link point to my forums instead of my website hompage?

If I was thinking yesterday I could have told you the answer then... If you set a category not to allow images though then that category is not going to show up on the upload page.

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displayed
 

But when I set a main category not to allow images and to "not act as a category" it still shows up! You still can't upload to it, but it shows up in BOLD ITALCS in the drop down box (not selectable) to properly represent the directory structure. Therefore, it should do the same in this situation, shouldn't it?

Has this been addressed in 1.01? Where can we find a complete list of things changed in 1.01?

If you can't help me with this, can you point me at the lines of code that affect the dropdown box and specifically which parts cause the main categories to be bold/italics?

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displayed
 

The bold/itallic optgroups there are done to mark the categories which have the 'Act as category' option set to 'No', so that wouldn't be a good way to go about showing the others.

If you want to change it on yours though, try looking in your forum/includes/functions_gallery.php file for this code:
Replace with:
Then find:
Replace with:
And that *should* do the trick.

Seems to be working great!! Thanks!

Any idea of how to change the top left url in my gallery to point to the forum instead of the website homepage?

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displayed
 

In your gallery_global.php file look for this bit of code:
And replace with this:

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displ
 

This actually isn't working for me. Instead of going to my forum, it is going to my picture gallery homepage. Can you please check this?

Thanks

Try changing that bit of code to this:

Re: BUG IN 1.0.0-Please choose a category-parent category / structure not being displ
 

That just appears to do exactly what the code did originally (takes me back to my homepage with a question mark after it). I need it to go to my homepage/forums

Thanks
