[Plugin: DM Albums] Adding Images

The images and browse.cap file have to be ftp to your server. Take a look at the preview folder for reference

Ok, so I have to do it all manually.

Thanks for the reply, was just checking I had to do that and not that it was something missing from my panel.

Yep, it’s a manual thing. A bit of work, but it does look cool in a post. I did just discover it does not play well with WPG2 – my major plugin for photos. Oh well.

Actually, if you are logged in as an admin, you *should* see a little “add/edit” link underneath the photos when you’re viewing the album in a post.

I am planning to made a major revision which adds a lot of this capability directly through the admin panel when editing a post…stay tuned.

Hi there, there was a bug where on some WP installations, the above mentioned link does not appear; that bug has been fixed in 1.9.5.

@rfearns:
Can you explain more about what issue you’re having with WPG2?

I can not seem to be able to figure out how to upload images!

is there a tutorial? or step by step process?

@thefashioncatalyst

Thanks for writing. This is probably the most requested feature, and I’m definitely planning to add support for uploading images directly through WordPress.

For now, you upload images by using a traditional FTP, SFTP, or browser upload into a directory on your web server and point DM Albums at that directory.

Good luck!

This feature has been added in the latest release, version 2.0.

fstrack –
i have ver. 2.0 and have been trying to upload images to create my first album…but every time the upload process completes, the Album Name field goes blank, and it continues to say that there are no albums currently. In other words, i go through the steps, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

What am i missing? I’m using safari

@sageturk
I have exactly the same problem, I have tried both IE and Firefox and none of them is working with the Album Manager.
Do we still have to do the captions manually?

@sageturk
Hi there, can you make sure that the DM Albums upload directory (set in the DM Albums Admin panel, under Options) is being created and that its permissions are set to at least 755? This is the most likely reason I can think of for the uploads to go missing (likely has nothing to do with a browser).

Also, are your WordPress installations running on Unix or Windows?

Thanks!

@viviy

You should be able to add captions when viewing the albums, but it seems not all users are able to do this. I’m currently working on a feature to allow this to be done through the DM Ablums Album Manager. A new release should be out this week.

Are you running on Unix or Windows?

Thanks!

@all

Some users have mentioned that DM Albums are not being created when uploading: all photos seems to upload normally, but then the album doesn’t show up in the list, and when you log in with FTP to check on them, the album is not here, either.

DutchMonkey Productions is working on a fix for this, but here is a workaround in the meantime:

First, check that the dm albums upload folder exists. (You can find the path to this folder in the DM Albums Admin Panel if you’re not sure where to look.) By efault, the folder is called “dm-albums” and should be located just off the root of your blog.

If it exists, make sure the permissions are 0755 or 0777. If it doesn’t exist, you’ll have to create it, set the permissions to 0755 or 0777 and then you should be good to go.

@all
UPDATE:
DutchMonkey Productions recommends a new upload location:

/PATH/TO/WORDPRESS/wp-content/uploads/dm-albums/

Version 2.3 is about to be released with this new default upload location.

Thanks for your continued support.

Works fine for me
