Sorting Pictures and Cosmetic Issue

Diva · August 14th, 2005, 05:14 PM

Hi. I am having 3 issues with my gallery after upgrading from 5.0 to 5.13.

1. My photos are not sorting properly. For some reason we have some old pictures from another category showing up as the first photo in the members category. I did have a photo stickied... The other people did not. I also have the option of other pictures NOT to be shown.

2. When we tried to upload a new photo it did not show as first photo under newest sort. (which I prefer). Instead it's showing the photo from another section. Also, how can I change the default to be latest photo when looking at the Members Gallery Index?

3. The section underneath a person's photo which lists options of seeing other photos, etc... is using a tag that's making it black. Where can I change this?

1 and 2 if it deals with the members gallery that does not show the last photo thumbnail.

In the interest of not doing a scan to grab ever users last photo thumbnail which was huge server intensive the GROUP BY user variable only allows the first picture to show

3. Now make sure you uploaded all the new template files. You have a url to look at to see what is going on.

Here is the tester gallery.

So there's no way to fix that? The first photo is from another category and while it's humorous I would prefer not having it as my picture in the main Members Gallery area. Also it makes it seem like no one updated their gallery.

Is there still a way to sort the pictures by the latest uploaded by default? If not will changing the files back to 5.0 be okay?

As far as the uploading all the latest files I went through and checked them to make sure they all uploaded and then re-uploaded the templates this morning after you mentioned it. That section still shows as black.

You cant really revert back unless you restore all the old files and database

In your admin options

in forum settings do you have use forumstyle set to on or off? if so turn it on.

I turned it off because I don't like the look of it on. It does not work well with my design and adds the post color in the middle, which I do not like. Before it worked great with it.

So there is no other option besides reverting back to an older copy if I don't want it to pull the first picture ever posted?

If you use the VB header you must use the forum style set to yes.

If you do not want to use the VB style then turn off the header integration and use another style you like.

No you can not currently show any other picture in members gallery without hacking the code
