Gallery FAQs

<< < (21/21)

Prieure de Sion:
I read the FAQ but find no answer. I seeone posting about a batch process to change a lot of pictures in one way - but thats not what i need and would ask.

My "problem" was - i only want change one picture.
But i find no workaround.

Is there no way to change the picture of one datafile?
I find no button, no way.

Thanks!

cmcdon0923:
As I understand it, once you upload a picture to the GALLERY, there is no way to later change just the picture. You must delete the file along with all the text and any comments that are associated with it.

I am certain others, including perhaps Joe, will confirm that.

That was my previous "workaround" for lack of knowledgeable alternatives on my part. Create a new file, copy the details, add a new image to the new record, delete the old record and save the new record.

Stupidly, such a coin appears as "new" although it may have been published months ago. And you lose comments - where there might also be good information about the coin.

cmcdon0923:
Inconvenient, yes, but technically it is a new entry because of the way it currently needs to be done. The loss of previous comments is somewhat unfortunate.

Perhaps, down the road, a new release of the software used to host the galleries will be modified to allow for replacement of just the image, something that is currently out of FORVM's hands.

I see no need to delete the first record. Add to it a link to new record and thus keep the old comments.

In second record you can put a similar link to old record.
