Brian -

I have had an Adobe ID (email address) for at least three years.

I created an App and generated a Client Secret and a Client ID and wrote them down in a safe and secure place.

I should be good to go when you say it's ready.

Anybody want to loan me a key for a couple of days?

Aviary is not accepting any new signups.

There are times when I really, really really hate Adobe.

Event calendar feature requests

I did customize the event template - I added a link to a website and changed some language.

Commented out the line and the duplicate disappeared like a charm.

I have a bunch of images that are rotated either 90º left or 90º right. Is there an easy way to fix that rotation?

Fabulous. I just did that. It goes on my tips and tricks FAQ for members as they make the switch.

Duplicate image in first two positions in image galleries

Ning To Jamroom

Brian -

The sample size of emigrants right now is small so there are going to be biases. There are something like 9000 images on TheChocolateLife and close to 400 albums (galleries). My community uses them. The default is to show grids of images and then to arrange them into albums.

I think one of the reasons more people did not use the Albums is that the drag and drop to rearrange functionality really sucked and there was no decent way to create and manage galleries with more than about 16-20 images (one page's worth). If the Album functionality was actually decent more people would have used it, I firmly believe.

I managed to do it by appending "All" to the images:### button. It's a hack, I know - but it works for me.

One reason I want to encourage it, especially with the Lightbox function in JR, is that it's easier to create photo-heavy travel blogs as a Gallery than it is to embed a whole bunch of images in a blog post. In fact, I am not exactly sure how I would upload more than one image in a blog post using the version of the TinyMCE editor that's used. There is no inline upload image command.

I suppose I could add src as allowed HTML and that would enable people to embed images they'd uploaded to a gallery ...

Unless there is something I am missing about enabling inline image embedding in blog posts.

I just checked and all the images embedded in blog posts are served from Ning. Now that's going to be a lot of work to fix if it's at all possible.

Right. Typing too fast.

But if I turn Group by Gallery off then I get the "all" listing with no way to display galleries - just a paginated listing of images. Unless I am missing something completely.

I can still create galleries, but if group by gallery is off there is no way that I can see to actually display and work with and in the galleries.

I need to have both - and it's the behavior Ningsters expect.

You are right. I realized at the same time. This is the Gallery name on import.
