Hi,

I have created a gallery in an article. I would like to add some more images into the gallery. How do i do this?

 

As far as i can see i have to upload the .zip file all over again with all the new images. I cannot just add images.

If i go to Media manager, i am placed at the images folder and not the media folder.

 

How do you people solve this ?

Hi Jeanette,

I know what you mean, I simply remove the gallery from the item, apply the changes than upload another gallery.

As this is a quick fix, not a perfect fix I have not done any further research to find a better solution.

Was afraid of that :-)

I hoped i just could upload the images into the gallery directory (the same way we do when we use the plugin by itselves). But since the gallery is not located in the \images folder i am not able to access it using Media manager.

Hopefully there will be a way to do this in the next release.

Hi Jeanette
You can use simple image gallery in normal way in your article by placing {gallery}image folder{/gallery},

please don't use image gallery tab for uploading gallery in zip format. so you will able to add or remove images as per your requirement by simply copying images in folder.
With best wishes.

You can go into the following directory and simply upload images. SIG will find them without having to re-upload the zip file:

media/k2/galleries/[your gallery number here]

The number of your gallery is the ID number of your article.

I hope this helps.

Hi
It will not work until you insert following in your item html code.
{gallery}gallery image folder{/gallery}

Actually, it does work on mine without the {gallery} {/gallery} if you are using the K2 image gallery tab. Just upload the images into the directory media/k2/galleries/[your article ID number here]

Thanks guys, that sounds good!

But, one issue regarding this; in my case it is the admin who is going to add images and he cannot use ftp. The media manager is no good either, - any suggestion for how i can let admin access the media/k2/galleries ?
Or is it possible to change k2 so that images/galleries are saved at images/k2/galleries instead of media/k2/galleries ?

Hi
you are right but you will require to upload zip file having gallery images. Then you don't need to add {gallery} {/gallery} in your item html code.
If you want to add images in your gallery without re uploading zip file again then you will require to add {gallery}name of gallery folder{/gallery} in your html code.

Hi Shukla,

Please remember, in SIG Pro, we dont need to manually add {gallery}image folder{/gallery}, it does this for us, one feature of of Pro version. You only need to do this in the Free version.

Jeanette, check the jw_sigpro.php in the plugins directory of the server.
Although I have not tried this, it does contain the setup for the link to media/k2/galleries.
Make a backup of the file and then try pointing it to the images folder if you wish.

Piperchick is correct, and I forgot, you can just load new images into the gallery as she says, so no need to enter the item to edit, just replace the image files. Also, if you are using captions, then you can replace the captions file too.

Give me a shout on MSN and we can walk through this to try and change the link to the gallery image store.
