Order of Galleries on Gallery list

Using Jamroom

No - Its not easy at all to ascertain this.
Has this option been enabled previously on your site? I'm just wondering how many of your users, if any, have ordered their galleries?
If none, or very few, it might be possible to create a script that pre-orders all galleries, in their 'latest first' order. Then, you could turn on the option and nothing should change.

Not sure yet, but it might be possible to modify the templates in order to ascertain if a gallery has been ordered, or not. If it has, show it in the order, if not, show it as default.
Checking this out.

Very likely. When you allow ordering by the user, the order they are put in is saved against each gallery item in its 'gallery_order' field, so photos in a gallery would have their fields set to 1, 2, 3, etc. When listing a gallery, templates check the quota option and if set, order by this field and not the default order (which is by their created date).
If a gallery hasn't as yet been ordered, all the 'gallery_order' fileds are '0', so the way they are then listed is somewhat random.
Hope that makes sense.

One solution might be to add a custom 'numerical' field to the gallery update form, then in the template(s) set the jrCore_list order_by options to that field. It would then mean updating all affected galleries with a numerical value to set their display order, which might be a bit tedious.

Actually, this isn't as straightforward due to the different ways Galleries and PhotoAlbums are managed within Jamroom.
PhotoAlbums are each individual items and photos in each album are stored by their ID within that album. This means that the PhotoAlbum module can take advantage of the inbuilt Jamroom Core feature to allow users to order their albums, the same as they can order their blogs, audio items etc.
Gallery items are different in that every image is an individual item which are then grouped into galleries by a common 'gallery title'.
Hope that makes sense, but the upshot, unfortunately, is that to allow galleries to be ordered the same as photo albums would need some custom work.
Sorry.

Set the 'Allow Image Ordering' option in your Gallery module's quota tab.

As for allowing gallery ordering, let me see how that might be done.
Thanks

Hi Lorna - Sorry for the delay.
Can you be more specific as to what you are asking?
You can drag and drop photos in both Galleries and Photo Albums so as to order them.
Is there something different needed?
Thanks

Issue tracker problem?

Just checked the code and see that you are right - The config setting isn't being tested at all!
Will get that fixed up.
Thanks for letting us know about it.

That is behaving differently to my test site then. Can you send the site URL and the admin login to support[at]jamroom[dot]net and I'll take a look and see what's going on.
Thanks

If you click on the comment icon of a status (or any other) timeline entry you should go to the detail page of that entry and you can make and view comments there (see my screenshot). Is that not happening for you?
