Hi,

 

We only changed the provider in 3.1 , but that is not compatible with 3.0 .

 

1 - the property AlbumID is removed.

 

2 - now the property GalleryFolder means the folder where the photo is stored.

         it no longer create such directory Share/Default, Albums/albumid/ .. etc.

         it will also use the name of the uploaded file ( will not use datetime )

         If the folder already contains photos , DotNetGallery now will auto show it.

 

We will provide documents about it.

 

Regards,
Terry

Hi Terry,

 

We are about to implement DotNetGallery for a new web site and I'm concerned about this change and have several questions.

 

1) If we upgrade our site from 3.0 to 3.1, does this mean that all of the photos will have to be reloaded?

 

2) We allow each user to have their own individual Album. We have been using AlbumID to accomplish this by setting the AlbumID equal to the user's id. Will we still be able to allow each user to have individual albums with 3.1 and how will we do this? How does this differ from 3.0?

 

3) Is 3.1 available for download?

 

4) Does 3.1 allow photos in the slideshow to be filtered by a category name?

 

5) How soon will the documentation be available?

 

Thanks,

Bob,

 

1 - If you upgrate the site to 3.1 , the exists gallery albums will be ignored. You need move the files , or change the GalleryFolder to each folder.

 

The old way is this , when you set GalleryFolder ="~/GalleryFiles" , and set AlbumID="Terry"

 

in the v3.1 , you can set GalleryFolder ="~/GalleryFiles/Albums/Terry" to prevent maintain the existing albums.

 

2 - AlbumID is removed. You need use GalleryFolder property for each user. for example , GalleryFolder ="~/Users/Terry"

 

3 - Now what you can download is the v3.1

 

4 - You can split the category on server side , for example , GalleryFolder ="~/Users/Terry/Album1", GalleryFolder ="~/Users/Terry/Album2"

   but if you want to filter the photo in client side, you need modify the javascript code.

   We will consider add that feature into javascript code in future.

 

5 - I am not sure when the documents will be finish. Maybe in 2 weeks.

 

Regards,
Terry
