Copy the gallery with images (before update to version 7)

Hi Amy,

first of all thank you for your wonderfull feedback!
The plugin will be updated continually!

About copying votes and comments:
In the moment it will be not copied, doesn’t matter which gallery version you copy.
This is not implemented because it might cause very long copying if there are many votes, which could cause server timeout. I admit that there should an option like: “copy with votes and comments or without”, before copying. I will implement this option, but it is not priorised in the moment, some other functions have to be done before. So far you can use “Allow change rating by administrator” https://www.screencast.com/t/9LIcVNatQPxn option and then modify rating of each image.

Double images library:
I have to check this case. Do not remove any library images so far.

Kind regards
Wasiliy

Hi Amy,

relating “Double images library”:
Everytime when copying a gallery before vesion 7 with images it creates a copy of the image in the media library. The problem is that in version before 7 I did not implemented a check which recognize if image is from media library. Versions equal 7 and after 7 uses media library. Because of missing check if image is from media library I have to make a copy of the image in media library.
That means that you can remove the old image from media library if you do not use old contest gallery (created before version 7) anymore and the image is not used in any other plugins or themes on your system. Do not remove the copy. The copy is needed for the new gallery you created.

Kind regards

Hi Wasiliy,
Thank you for your elaborate answer.
I will have a check to see if I can get the images in the Media Library back to order..
(ie: remove the images from the Media Library and re-copy the galleries so I’m 100% sure I have no doubles, without the possibility that I break the gallery image if I remove too much doubles.)

Votes I can handle probably, just sorry I lose comments this way..

on the other had I could ‘keep’ the old Galleries and continue with the new, maybe something comes in the future, like a feature to export/import comments to/from CSY or something like that.. just thinking out-loud here ??

I’ve found another odd thing but I will make a new support-request for that
If I’m 100% sure I’m not the one who is goofing up things..

thank you again.

Love ?,
Amy

Hi Amy,

Should be released this week.

Best regards
Wasiliy

Wasily,

This is why I love you ?
So, I’ll put it through the test..
I will delete all images from my image-library to the shure there are no doubles
and do a totally new copy of the galleries just to see if it works.

Thank you so much, you don’t know how much the means to me.
so I’ll give it a good testing as that’s all I can do at the moment..

If you need a dutch translation of the language files, just ask okay..

This is getting better and better ??

Love ??,
Amy

Hi Amy,

thank you for your wonderfull feedback… also in love ??
Take care the update is not done yet, but I am working on it.
I will inform you of course when it is released.

Thank you for your dutch translation offer. There is already a dutch translation but if you find something wrong you can tell me of course.
You can find the file here (plugins/contest-gallery): https://www.screencast.com/t/hFv3CTjTN7

Hi Amy,

Kind regards
Wasiliy

Oh, WOW.. you’ve been busy to help me..
thank you so much!
I’ve just returned home again, long story, but I’updated the plugin
and Will check right away if it works..
Then I will delete the doubles from my media Gallery and do the final conversion..

I’ll get my test server back as well, so I can continue testing
without disrupting my live website ??

Love ??,
Amy

Hi Wasiliy,

this is wonderful..
had some troubles to remember how I converted them in the first place..
(For some reason I can’t find that “how to’ anymore)
But.. it works like a charm.. ????
Thank you so much.. this makes it really worth wild!

I will clear up the doubles in my Media library..
(not to worry I do have a backup ?? if things do go wrong)
and make the final conversion.

Your the best! ??

lot’s of love????,

Amy

Thanks also for your wonderfull feedback!!! Happy contest!
