Creating Folders inside of a Category

Post by pas_non »

Hi,
I have looked at the documentation but it is sparse and hard to understand. I am only trying to do a simple thing:
I have 2 categories: Juniors, and Seniors.
I want to create multiple folders inside of these categories, of different photo sets.
I want to only see 2 options when I click on my gallery link: Juniors and Seniors. Then, when you click on one of those categories, it shows the thumbnails for each of the photo sets (folders) I have in that category. When you click on a folder thumbnail, it takes you to all the images in the folder. Can Phoca do that?

PROBLEM: I created 2 categories: Juniors and Seniors.
I added a folder through the "Multiple Add" section. I clicked on the folder, and uploaded images into it.
However, now when I go to images, I do not see the images listed. Can I really only see the folders by clicking on "Multiple Add"? That doesn't really make sense and there must be a better way?

PROBLEM: In "Multiple Add", when I tick the folder and then select the Juniors category from the dropdown, I thought this was adding the folder to the Juniors section, but what it seems to be doing is creating a new category. I don't want another category, I just want a folder within the category. - Because when it names them as categories, when you go to the default phoca view in the website, instead of showing the two Juniors and Seniors categories, it shows Juniors-Foldername and Seniors-Foldername (with Foldername being the name of the folder it had in it). AAhghh!! Can anyone help?

PROBLEM: When I try to use the "New" button to add an image, when I click on the image button I get this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3468 bytes) in /home1/umcwfbyo/public_html/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.php on line 894

I appreciate any help on this - I know it must be simple, but I'm having a really tough time figuring it out!
Thanks :)

Hi, see this forum, search for "database and file layer" as there are two independend layers (database - where you set categories, subcategories, image names and file - where you can see image files on your server)
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3468 bytes) in /home1/umcwfbyo/public_html/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/helpers/phocagallery.php on line 894
See your server settings, the image cannot be created by GD, because there is no a lot of memory (possible problems: GD, PHP settings, size of original image) Try to resize original image before adding it into the gallery.

this is happening before i even have an option to select an image, so it's not due to an image size. it shows up right when i click the image button (to select an image, i assume) - i don't even see a list of images to choose from. all it shows is the error.
