Photo Notifications > Manage Photos

grrlburn · March 19th, 2006, 11:28 AM

I am having this issue with every member of my site.

When user's upload pictures they pictures get uploaded by default to the Member's Galleries Category, unless they specify otherwise.

When they go to the frontpage of Photopost, they click on the link "My Photos", then they click on the link "Profile", then they go to the Photo Notifications box and click on Manage Photos link. This should bring up all the photos that they have asked to be notified on that are in the Member's Galleries Category. It does not. It brings up a blank category. Users have to jump to another category (via the dropdown menu)like Cars, Antiques, then jump back to the Member's Galleries in order the the photos they have marked as wanting to be notified on show up.

What do you think the deal is?

Manage Photos has nothing to do with Photo Notifications therefore it should not bring up all photos they have been asked to be notified of.

Manage Photos in the profile area will bring up all photos the user has uploaded and allow them to perform certain tasks. You change cat per the dropdown box and it shows the photos. You then have 3 options. You can change category, delete or save meaning do nothing ( this is checked by default)

Actually that is not the case.

In the profile section of photopost there is a block and it looks like this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

When you click on it the Manage Photos in that block you get this screen

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Notice that this is is category Members Galleries and nothing is showing up EVEN THOUGH I have photos in the Members Galleries.

So I guess before I go any further I need to know in this block that says Photo Notifications > Manage Photos isn't that to mange the photos that have notifications attached to them?

It is not notifications as notifications is the block on the right top. You might have a problem with the language string saying photo notifications as it should be photo management.

In your english.php note this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You can name the string what you wish Photo Management or Photo Control Panel

If you have no photos showing when members gallery is selected you do not have any photos uploaded to the members gallery. This I say with absolute certainty.

Well here is the link that I am clicking

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I click on manage photos this is what I see in the member's galleries which is nothing EVEN though I have uploaded to this gallery.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Then I move to a different category

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

THEN BACK TO THE MEMBERS GALLERY

and my picture shows up.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I am absolutely positive that I am uploading this to the member's gallery category.

Okay well the screen is a management one and in further testing basically you must select a drop down to populate the $cat variable and hit submit

I'd like to report that I have exact same issue with grrlburn:

1. On Profile page, it says "Photo Notifications" as header for "Manage Photos". That is very confusing. So this is a small bug I guess - both of us have it.

2. If I click on "Manage Photos", it takes me to another page with Members Gallery selected as default, with NO photos listed at all even I am 100% sure I have many photos under "Members Gallery" category.

3. On Manage Photos page, the radio button of "Delete" does not "delete" photo at all. As a result, our members have to delete their photos one by one. Anything wrong?

I greatly appreciate your help on this.
