Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality
Ning To Jamroom
paul:
Quote: However, there is a discrepancy between what albums contained in Ning and what the galleries in JR contain. In particular, I think there needs to be, for each member, a gallery than contains all of the images that were not assigned to Ning albums and therefore should not be grouped into galleries in what seems to be a random fashion. I propose that this gallery be called " Loose Images ".
Am curious that you talk about there being photo albums on Ning as in their archives there is no evidence of this. There is a photo title and description fields, and that is it. On Ning do you have another option to group photos into albums? If so, Ning have neglected to include this information in the archive so as such, there's not a lot that can be done on import. (this wouldn't be the first omission on their part either!!).
Just so you know, when I first developed the import module, I allocated Jamroom's 'gallery_title' to the profile name on import so that all profiles did have just one gallery. A few weeks ago some ex Ningsters said this was wrong and wanted the photo title to be the gallery title so I change the import module accordingly. As I said above, without the album info from Ning, there's not a lot else we can do on import.
Paul the photo albums where in the older version of Ning ( ver2 ) which @thechocolatelife has added a link to. The current version 3.0 does not have photo albums for a member anymore, all photos are just in one place and in categories if added. This is why you maybe did not see it in the archives.
