Creating Galleries - Catch-22

Ning To Jamroom

In the Create Gallery form I can only create a gallery if I upload an image.

If I edit an image in my now unified gallery -- there is no way for me to create galleries to move images in to.

I think that creating a new gallery from the image update form seems necessary.

Ningja skin update

@Brian -

I did that - needed to to get to the Image Galleries update Paul has been working on. The only thing I haven't done is update to the 1.0.12 skin as we have not - yet - resolved what's going on with my cloned skin.

I know it's a huge task - I've worked on developing GUI tools for creating GUIs.

I have no doubt that you'll get there and I can afford to be patient once the basics are done. I think there's been an update since I last uploaded the Site Builder module, but one of the modules caused menus to disappear so I de-activated everything,

The page left and page right icons. On page 1, the icon on the left side was a shopping cart.

There is a large philosophical discussion in this thread. WRT domain mapping specifically, I agree. Which is why I asked if Arvixe was up to speed with the module so if I contacted them they might be able to help.

The "plug-and-play" comment was for non-advanced modules. I was unable to get Site Builder to function properly for me, but when it's working, I want to be able to drag and drop and config important settings from right there within Site Builder without having to go into the ACP.

For the time being I am also w/ @Strumelia. I am making only the barest changes I need to make to satisfy my basic customization needs. When Site Builder is ready for prime time I will investigate it in much more detail.

Resetting the icon cache solved most of the problem. I have not yet reset the browser cache - there are still some wrong icons showing.

I am running in developer mode so ... cache resets not needed?

No Search or Past Events showing on Events page.

To generalize - in the form designer I just make sure to use the correct name of a field in that module's datastore?

Taking a look at the Events form designer, I have to say that I am the one who added the event_url into the database as event_website is not a default option (though it probably should be at some point).

I will delete the unneeded field.

But I did get it to work!

Taking a look at the image gallery udpate.

First icon is create - it's a " + " most everywhere else.

Note the tool tip. And the "Arrange the order of the icons" icon is now on the line below.

In the old Ning events listing the create event form asked you to (optionally) enter a URL for the event. This could be a link to the organizer, ticketing agency, venue, or whatever.

That's what I want to appear in my events listing.

Actually - taking a look at the Events datastore, there are TWO fields in the db for URLs.

They are:

event_url:
event_website:

I have no idea why there are two but I can think of uses for them both.

But there are two issues that I can see.

First is to add these two fields to the Create and Update Event forms. This COULD be done using the form designer but I have no idea how to link the fields in the form designer with with the existing database fields.

Second is to modify the template to display these fields if they are non-empty.

This is probably an update to the Events module because of the first point.

Do I hear FEATURE REQUEST?
