Import Folder Not Working Properly

    Hi,
    I would like to report that Import Folder feature is not working anymore on my local setup while it was working properly with older NGG 1.X version.

    With WP 3.6.1 and last NGG 2.0.3.0 whatever folder I click, the same folder are presented with no possibility to select further.

    Plus I cannot import from a parent folder anymore which was very useful for me (in previous version I had “…” link to explore parent folder).

    Can someone confirm this?

    Is this a problem only for localhost setup?

    I’m still waiting before updating my website because I don’t want to have issues when live.

    Thanks,
    Luca

    Luca –

    Local installations issues are being reviewed but difficult to trouble shoot as we cannot actually test your installation itself.

    If you would like to submit a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/) for your specific setup and the specific issues you are experiencing we may be able to replicate it to troubleshoot further.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.

    Hi Cais,
    thank you for replying.

    I understand that you cannot replicate the issue on my local setup.

    I can confirm though that online works properly.

    The only thing I’m missing is the possibility to use folders outside “wp-content”, at least one level up (which was possible in previous version).

    Is there a way I can at least enable it manually? Or make it include the folder I have specified in settings as the main folder for my pictures?

    Thanks,
    Luca

    Ok, I found it… I’ll try online as soon as I have some free time.

    FILE:
    wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\nextgen_addgallery_page\adapter.nextgen_addgallery_ajax.php

    FIND:
    $root = path_join($fs->get_document_root(), ‘wp-content’);

    REPLACE WITH:
    $root = path_join($fs->get_document_root(), ”);

    @mighty Gorgon – We have just released a new beta version (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta/) that will now allow you to import from outside the /wp-content/ folder.

    Place this anywhere in wp-config before:
    /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define( 'NEXTGEN_GALLERY_IMPORT_ROOT', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/' );

    Thanks!
