Lazy-Gallery subfolders possible?

Yes, its possible.

I didn’t do anything special to enable it.
I’m not sure why it’s not working for you.

Hmmm. Yes. I forgot to say… I did make it work to some degree, but I can’t make the subfolders display with folder icons like they do if they are just one level folders within the gallery. (I suppose I should refer to what I’m trying to achieve as sub-sub folders).

When I put a folder icon image within a sub-sub folder, that folder does not make use of that icon image as an icon. Instead it displays withing the folder like any normal image in there. I see that you have chosen to use thumbnails as folder icons in your gallery. Myself I prefer to use the option to have a folder icon that makes the folder look like a folder. Otherwise I think it may be confusing in a large gallery what is a folder and what is an image.

Thank you for answering!

Found the bug, fixed it.

Notice that one of the directories has a png with with the same name as the directory. That one shows up, representing the directory.

I’ll see if the lazy gallery folks want the fix.

I think the guys are on vacation or something.

Here’s a link with instructions for fixing the problem.

If you’re not comfortable with making the changes yourself, email me and I’ll make the change for you (5 minutes).

I have a “highly customized” version of the file that needs to be fixed so it wouldn’t do anybody any good for me to just post the file with my changes.

Great to hear that you have solved it already! Very fast work, I’m impressed! My file however, looks different from yours. I have taken you up on your kind offer to have me mail it over so that you may have a look at it. Thank you!

Unfortunately, when I tried the changed file, it didn’t work. So it seems that this is still an unresolved post. Hopefully there will be an updated version of Lazy-Gallery soon.

I have just installed the lazy-gallery plugin but have already encountered a problem…

Notice the thumbnail refuses to show up. But the actual picture is there ! Help please !

I can’t even get the page to show, NetMapel. The gallery page, that is. The front page and everything on it’s menu seems to be present.

Anyway… did you create a folder “thumbs” inside your photo folder(s) and change it’s permissions so that Lazy-Gallery can write to it? You need to chmod it to 777. And make sure you have checked the option to have the gallery generate thumbnails for you (if that is what you want) – “Use Cacheing System: yes”.

Hey TH, I’ve got it fixed now, and also changed the name of the file ??

It’s now https://www.westernreview.ca/photos.php

Good to hear that you made it all work. That test photo with the cat is sickeningly cute. hehe.

I still haven’t been able to solve my subfolder blues. Oh well… maybe it’s time to install something else. A flicker gallery perhaps.

I would suggest that you actually look inside lazy-img.php, lazy-gallery.php and lazy-index.php a little bit more. Look for file paths that may not correspond with what you have. For me, because I put the lazy-gallery folder in my plugin, I had to add /lazy-gallery/ into every line in the code that deals with file path. I really like this lazy-gallery, don’t give up hope !

I have it working on my blog at https://www.jwurster.us/wordpress/. Make sure the options are set correctly.

Yeah jwurster, but you don’t have the folder icons, just the names of the folders. I want the nice folder icons. ??

NetMapel, isn’t the lazy-gallery folder supposed to be precisely there, -in the plugins directory? Seems odd that you should have to change any paths for that? Hmmm.
