solved About To Blow A Head Gasket Over Image Titles!

Here is my situation
I have maybe 5 or 6 "galleries" for images
Every single time I add an image to an existing "gallery" I add a title to that image and EVERYTIME I do this this the title i add to that image IS ADDED TO EVERY IMAGE IN THE GALLERY!
So after I add a title to a single image I have to go in and edit EVERY other image in that gallery and add the correct title to each
This is taking hours and hours over and over
I have tried every possibility I can image in FORM DESIGNER to make this work propery
The field I have for adding an image title during CREATE is "Gallery Image Title"

I guess im just not smart enough to wrap my brain around this in Form Designer..
Can anyone tell me how to label an image when you add it to a gallery without it changing the TITLE OF EVERY IMAGE IN THAT GALLERY to that title?
Im at my wits end on this one and so totally frustrated with have to repair hundreds of titles over and over
Attached is a screenshot of the current attempt settings in Form Designer
Thank you
\Also- if I totally remove the "Gallery Image Title" field from the Form Designer- then run repair.php-integrity check and reset caches...The title that the form designer added to every image REMAINS?

If you are adding images to the gallery via the 'gallery update' form and in that form you change the gallery title, this is correct. Think of a gallery as a single item that contains many images.
To get round this, add a title to discrete images by updating the image only via its 'detail' page.

Sorry Im not following you...
How do i add a title to a single image when uploading it without it changing ALL image titles?
I dont understand "If you are adding images to the gallery via the 'gallery update' form" ( I thought this was the only place to add a new image to a gallery?)
So if I understand correctly- if I want to add an image to a gallery I need to go add it to a "gallery" then i need to go find the image in the gallery- use the "details" button and edit that images details?

Thanks again Paul

Here is what I am trying to accomplish ( hope it helps to understand me)
Lets say I have 3 "Galleries" that I keep updating with new images weekly
Gallery 1= Butterflies
Gallery 2=Snakes
Gallery 3=Beer

When i upload a new image to "Butterflies" when that image is displayed on a page I want above the image to say what i added as a tiotle for that particular image ie " This Is A Man-Killer Butterfly From Peru" then a description BELOW the image that says " Pretty cool butterfly huh?"
I dont want ALL the images in the gallery to say above them " This Is A Man-Killer Butterfly From Peru"..only that particular image...
I want buttons on that upload page ( using form designer I guess?) that allows me to add a title and a description to a particular image at UPLOAD...not later by chasing it down and having to edit that images DETAILS
This at least to me has been the behavior of pretty much every platform i have used on the internet- so much so that it seems Like it is some sort of "standard"
Is there a way to get jamroom form designer settings to duplicate what I feel is standard ?

Thanks again Paul

Ok update...I just spent over an hour in the batch edit area of Gallery images and added new individual image titles and image descriptions to 100 images ( would rather have my teeth pulled)
When i went to save the changes to the database I received the attached error message
I really cant keep spending time on this everyday...does anyone know of some third party software that i can install on the server to replace the jamroom image gallery set up that will integrate? I am really hurting for a solution

From your profile page, click on the gallery tab. You will get a list of all 'galleries' with the update (and delete) buttons next to each one. Click on update for one of the galleries. You get a form for the whole gallery with a title field and the option to upload more images to that gallery. This is where you can change the title of the whole gallery. The url of this form is yoursite.com/gallery/update/id=12
If you now go back to the galleries listing and click on an individual image you'll get the image detail page with an update button. Click on that and you get a form where you can name the actual image and add a caption (you can also move it to another gallery from this form). This for is at yoursite.com/gallery/detail/id=12
Hope that helps

Thank you Paul- but I am still lost ( sorry) If its going to be that difficult to add an image to the site with a title and description then i am going to have to remove Image Galleries completely from my Jamroom site

I am just after something much simplier like
SELECT GALLERY TO UPLOAD IMAGE TO
SELECT IMAGE
ADD TITLE
ADD DESCRIPTION
HIT UPLOAD BUTTON
then when its uploaded it shows the image on the page with the title and description i added when i uploaded it
Is this presently not possible to config with form designer?
Also please tell me is
"gallery Image title" and "image title" the same thing?
I just removed the IMAGE GALLERIES module from my site- ran repair.php then reinstalled the module-integrity check- clear image cache...
Then went into the "image Galleries" module- used batch edit again and selected "gallery Image title" then added titles to 20-30 images and saved to database- did integrity check- cleared caches....then the image title is still the same as it was before the batch edit...
Sorry i just dont understand how this is supposed to work
Again I just want to do this with form designer
SELECT GALLERY TO UPLOAD IMAGE TO
SELECT IMAGE
ADD TITLE
ADD DESCRIPTION
HIT UPLOAD BUTTON

If thats not possible please tell me and I will remove image galleries from my jamroom website and delete this post and quit bothering everyone with it
Thank you again for taking the time to explain all this to me!

Unfortunately I don't think this is going to work like you want. The Image Galleries module is optimized for uploading multiple images - not just one at a time. The module definitely supports updating images one at a time (to add title, etc.) but I understand you would prefer to not do it that way.

As admin, goto create new gallery - yoursite.com/gallery/create
Form Designer
Edit the gallery_title field changing it to 'select_and_text'
Add 'jrGallery_get_gallery_titles' to its options field
Save
Create new field 'gallery_image_title' as a text field
Save
Create new field 'gallery_caption' as a textarea field
Save
Go back to the /gallery/create form
You can now upload an image(s) into either a selected or a new gallery, with an image title and a caption.

Thanks Brian...I have been trying to wrap my head around the logic of why it is this way- but when you said the part about multiple uploads that explained it. ( also it was not so much that i didnt want to do it that way..it was just with the settings I had in form designer everytime i would change an image title it would add that title to EVERY image in the gallery...no matter what i tried in Form Designer i could not get away from it so my idea was to find a set of settings that allowed me to edit each on upload)

Paul-THANKS MAN! I did what you wrote above ( with a few changes to "update" in the form editor) and now it seems almost all the problems are solved! This fixed my issue with titles and descriptions and now has the changes i made in the Batch Editor database showing up! I have been struggling with this for A VERY LONG TIME ( a few months) I would work on it then give up...so you telling me how to get the settings right...well....I could really feel a wave of stress leave my body as it worked!

Only issue I am still seeing is on the page that displays all the galleries ie; mysite.com/gallery under the title of each gallery there is a description-I would like these descriptions removed- so I actually made the "gallery-description" field as inactive...then deleted it completely...but they are still showing up... its like they are stuck in the database somehow- any tips on a safe way to remove them?

Anyways THANKS A MILLION!

You need to edit the jrGallery/templates/item_list.tpl file and remove the section from the template - i.e. remove this:
Let me know if that helps.
