is there a limitation on frontpage photogallery page size

[Guest]

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of photos that you can put
on the photo gallery page?

How many do you have in mind? Read this article:
http://www.eleanorstravels.com/PhotoGalleryPrograms/index.htm and consider
JAlbum.

I have 35, plus text that goes with each. It is a photo gallery for an
animal shelter (www.pause4paws.org). It just seems like if there are too
many, there should be some warning that tells me so. When I added 2 more
photos yesterday, the trouble began. The local preview looked fine, but when
I published it to the website, all the pics were deleted and all the text.
After getting my heart restarted, I deleted the 2 pics I had just added, and
everything went back to normal on the website. Just knowing there is a
problem with photogallery is very helpful. Thanks for writing.

Best to do 2 separate pages so each will not take too long to load. Your
viewers will appreciate that.

Thanks so much, Eleanor. I have read your links, too, and have saved them.
At some point I'm going to get some software that works.

35 is not too big...I've gone to more than that.
It may also depend on file sizes too.

I have built galleries using the slide-show template with between 4
and 180 images and had no problems. The gallery problems seem to
start when you try to edit a gallery -it is best to start over, or
better still use an alternative.
Note that the Slide Show is Internet Explorer only.

Thanks very much. I think I am going to start over.

It's easy enough unless you have a lot of captions, then its a pain in the
arse.
JAlbum..check it out.

OKay, PJ Med is right!

It's editing AFter you create the gallery that does it, it appears as though
there is a BUG in the code which concatinates the location of real.HTM. This
file is located in the Photogalley director and there is one in each gallery.
So for example a path might be "photogallery/photo00025761/real.htm". there
is a line in the Web-Bot code that says
<strong>[photogallery/photo00032639/real.htm]</strong> Code works!

<strong>[photogallery/photo00032639/photogallery/photo00032639/real.htm]</strong>
Code Fails, with error "can not find object," that's because it is looking
in the wrong location for Real.htm.

What we need is to fine the web-bot code for each gallery and edit that line
as a patch, it should work after the fix is made.

Has anyone managed to amend the code? Why has Microsoft not fixed this bug??

 

[Andrew Murray]

Why assume it's a bug - it could be by design (intentional).

As is advised on this group time and again, the Photo Gallery is not the
best option to use there's plenty of better third party solutions out there.

www.websunlimited.com I believe, has a photogallery application/script.

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

It won't be fixed.
The gallery can be buggy and is not crossbrowser.
Recommend using JAlbum or another third party album generator.
