This topic is picking up in the middle of an ongoing issue with the SMF Gallery, most images are not showing after an upgrade to the latest version. (7.0.8 )

So, inside the '/public_html/FamilyForum/gallery' folder I need:

/gallery0, /gallery7, /gallerycatimgs, /galleryftp, /galleryvideos and /highslide

... and move/copy the files from the current folders into these new folders:

OK, the files and folder have been copied over. I must have the paths set wrong because the images still do not display.
Gallery Path:    /home/ourfamil/public_html/FamilyForum/gallery/
Gallery Url:     http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/gallery/
Batch Add Path:   /home/ourfamil/public_html/FamilyForum/gallery/ftp/

I've tried several variations on the paths, but no success.
'Bulk Add Pictures' still throws the error, 'Multiupload failed to load'

I'll take a look-see soon but now I'm cooking...

[Ken (OP)]

watcha cooking?

[Skhilled]

Braised beef with gravy over buttered egg noodles. Not sure of the veggie just yet...but got a bunch of frozen ones in the freezer.

[Ken (OP)]

Sounds delish!

[Skhilled]

Thanks! I usually make it once a month or so. It's not hard but the braising can take about an hour or so until it reduces and the beef is very tender. Best part is you can use very cheap cuts of beef.

I'm looking at this image which shows in the gallery:

http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=158

If you right-click it and select "View Image Info" the URL shows this:

http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/gallery0/189-230515034426.jpeg

Not the URL in your first post which shows this:

Gallery Url:     http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/gallery/

I've been playing around with the gallery paths, trying to get it to display all of the images.

Back story is this:
The gallery was working OK, except for the 'Bulk Upload' feature... then I upgraded to the latest version.

Now the older, (existing images before update) will show, but not any newly uploaded images, or the new images will show but not the older images, depends on how you set the paths.
Turns out the the gallery folders were outside the 'gallery' folder... don't know how that could have happened?
In this image all folders with gallery in their name should be inside the gallery folder... I've copied them into the gallery folder now.

The point is the ones that show do not have "FamilyForum" in the URL...

Right, I know... and that's the problem, by playing around with the paths you can get the older images to show, or the new ones, but not both at the same time.

[Ken (OP)]

I think it will need some edits to the files, instead of just editing the paths in the gallery admin.

[Skhilled]

Ken, it's that that are in the wrong folders and possibly have the wrong paths. I just moved the one for your avy from:

/gallery0 to /gallery/0 and it shows in the gallery if you click the links. The images doe snot show initially on this page (top left and first one):

http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery

But if you click the links that are there you will see the image. So, this lets me believe the paths and URL's for the images are also incorrect as well as the location of the images themselves.

[Ken (OP)]

Ah, OK.
For some reason I missed this part:

You will probably also will have to copy the files from the gallery0 folder to the /gallery/0 folder
And same with
galleryvideos to /gallery/videos
And
gallery7/ to /gallery/7/

I'll go back into my FTP and do those folders and copy the files over and see what happens from there. Should only take a few. 

[Skhilled]

Now, you've got it! 

[Ken (OP)]

Just did a name change on those folders... '/home/ourfamil/public_html/FamilyForum/gallery/gallery7' to '/home/ourfamil/public_html/FamilyForum/gallery/7' etc.

Didn't seem to change anything.
