Hi.
Is there any way to set the system so that if a user modifies a single image ( changes description, edits thumbnail etc ) the album containing that image becomes the first album in the gallery display?...
cheers

Posts: 514If you set the sorting to
mtime(meaning last modified time) it should show the images in the order that they were last modified.Posted 3 years ago # -
I have already tried that...
Is there anyway to set the gallery order to display the most recent modified album?

Posts: 514Are you using
filemtimeunderOptions->Gallery? That should change the order of the albums to what you describe.If that fails, you can use the functions of the
image_album_statisticsplugin to achieve what you want. (http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/plugins/_zp-extensions---image_album_statistics.php.html)Posted 3 years ago # -
I have tried filemtime and every other database field.
It update the gallery once and thats it!...
image_album_statistics does what i need, However now I have lost the ability to select the next page in the gallery...
Must be doing something very wrong.

The image_album_statisticcs plugin is not meant to replace the normal album/image loops, it is for displaying the "x images or album" of the given setting. So there is of course no pagination.

I realise that... I have several different user accounts whilst we are testing... The gallery order updates once after filemtime is selected. subsequent uploads by different users have no effect.
Its gonna be something simple I am missing :)

There is also a sortorder for subalbums in an album on each album admin page.

Tried refreshing the database... It updates the fields in the db tables but does not update the gallery...
We have it set so you have a main gallery and within that each user has one album they can upload to... only admin can create subalbums...
image_album_statistics worked straight out of the box and updated as it should but we need the pagination as well...

Went away and had a rethink about the whole site design.
The problem is now sorted.
However... when you use a custom index page "as per Gallery index page link in options/theme" how do you set logout to reference that page?
