We've had a great day so far, iHop, State of Play, Nascar Winston Cup Museum... and, with more to come later when GrandMa Kay has a little fish fry.  :08:

J3 shot this way cool video of me trying to get into a race car while we were in 'The Winston Cup Museum' in Winston Salem.

As you can see in the vid, whoever built this race car made the window way to small!  :08:

On our outing to Winston Salem we took in the new movie 'State of Play' and we both thought that it was good.  :bigthumb:

You can check out my review of the movie HERE.

Don't remind me of iHOP. You'll make me want to go there. LOL

I have a knock-off recipe for their pancakes. ;)

We took lots of photo's and a few videos this weekend during our visit with James3 and I'm working on them today... lots of editing and resizing to do.
So... hopefully you'll be able to see them posted up by this coming evening.  :bigthumb:

If you need help with the editing let me know. I can retouch photos fairly well. ;)

I just may take you up on the offer.  :bigthumb:
For these I'm just resizing and renaming so it's not a big deal really.

Here's a sample. The first is the original. The picture was taken in a dark room and is underexposed and a bit grainy so I brightened it up a bit. The 2nd and 3rd photos are your choice. ;)

EDIT: I think I know why you are having a problem with converting this gallery over to SMG. The files are saved as .jpeg. This forum only accepts .jpg. I'm wondering if the converter does the same or if it's a forum issue. Try adding .jpg to the list of uploadable files and see.

Good point, I'll check into that to see if that's the problem. Meanwhile, I'm manually copying over the albums from Coppermine into SMFGallery Pro, it's a tedious job doing it that way but currently that's the only choice available.

EDIT: Just looked in the 'Subs-MGallery.php' file and jpeg is one of the allowed file types, so that's not it.

It was worth a shot. :)

I had a coppermine gallery but closed it. It is backed up so I might give it a try as well.

I'll leave our cpg on the server and active, but will remove the links. That way it's still there to serve up the pictures that are linked in several places around the site.

G6 gave me a snippet that would change the links for a specific url throughout a site. It was for articles though...

Hmmm, you can also use Censor Words to change links site-wide. LOL I've done that before, awhile back, and it worked for SMF Arcade. heehee

Don't know if that would work for gallery images from different galleries because they each use a different naming format... the image name that you assign to a picture is not the same as the db name for the different galleries.

Good point... We could always ask Draggy, I'm sure he could come up with something.
