Phocagallery - Moving Image Folder and Admin Load Issues

Post by gregbanig »

Hi,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a couple of problems that I am having with Phocagallery.

1) Images from images/phocagallery are showing up in Google Image Search results without our websites watermark.
- For copyright and legal reasons we cannot have non-watermark images on the web.
- Can we move the directory that holds phoca images to a new location? I tried renaming it to images/phocagallery2 and also updated "$instance->image_rel" in the file administrator/components/com_phocagallery/libraries/phocagallery/path/path.php
- How can I move images/phocagallery to a new location? What file(s) need updated?

2) Load Issues on the Backend
- Within the Joomla Administrator section the site freezes when trying to view "all" images. Images load fine in batches of "100". I get a non-responsive white screen within 10 seconds of trying to view "All".



Site settings:

Phocagallery Version 3.2.7
PHP Version 5.3.24
Web Server Apache
WebServer to PHP Interface cgi-fcgi
Joomla! Version Joomla! 2.5.19 Stable

Hi,

1) you can remove original images from server but you will miss some features, see here: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... ntegration (see warning box)
Or you can protect folders (e.g. with htaccess) where the original images are stored - see similar posts in this forum

2) if you have a lot of images on your server and you want to display all of them without pagination, then this seems like you have some memory problem, this is why pagination is used, to not overload server.
