NextGEN and WordPress MU

  • Alex,

    Hey, you know I love NetGEN. You’ve seen my messages here and how I would love to see this plug-in evolve. But I have a few questions.

    I moved to WordPress MU and installed the latest NextGEN. Just haven’t’ got around to asking you yet, so here goes.

    1. When will multiple files flash uploading be fixed, or is there a way to do it now by altering the code. Like others, I have to disable the multi flash.

    2. Because of reason #1, I decided to upload all of my pictures to FTP just to find out I can no longer create a directory from a uploaded directory. Why is that not in MU?

    3. Because of reason #2, I created a gallery, letting NextGEN create the folder, then I uploaded and went to manage galleries and told nextGEN to re-read the folder. Sucked all my photos in. So, I though great and uploaded many directories and started to the process again only to find out nextGEN no longer liked directory names that had spaces in them. So I had to start over. After putting underscores in all my directory’s locally, I uploaded again only to find out nextGEN not only doesn’t like spaces, but really doesn’t like underscores either, just hyphens. So I am having to either rename all my 100 directories again, or rename locally and upload again. whew.. So my question is why the new naming convention? All would be better if #1 or #2 worked properly.

    4. Why, if I do all of the above, upload first, make sure directories contain no spaces and only hyphens, If #2 make a comeback, why oh why will it not read and auto create galleries based on sub directories. This would make you plug-in so more enjoyable. I love to just upload using client, outside of the browser, and then just have nextGEN read my directories and create my galleries based on subs, even as an option. I would much rather delete pic from the gallery and upload all, then have to selectively upload the ones I want.

    Anyhow, if #1 was fixed, for my users, and #2 was fixed so I could go back to uploading and just having NextGen read my folder, that would be great. I really would like to see the sub folder read, because I, and probably like others, keep my pics in folders on my PC organized this way. It would make it much easier, and then forget about the flash problems.

    Thanks Alex. Just my 2 cents…

  • to #1 -> fixed for upcomming v1.00

    to #2 -> FTP makes no sense in a classic WPMU evironment, the most WPMU sites doesn’t give a FTP access to their useres, anyway you can enable this inside the code…

    to #3 -> I will have a look for it, didn’t aware that underscore causes a proble,

    to #4 -> Yes,it’s possible , but I never need this before for myself (please note this is my free contribution to the wordpress community)

    #1. If I make the changes mentioned, will multi file uploading be back. Sorry for the confusion.
    #2. Yes, normally I wouldn’t give FTP access to my users, although, my user’s are just family. Giving FTP access means I now how to teach them. Much rather just let them upload with the interface. I only give the users that need it access to their blogs upload directory. This is handy when it comes to uploading larger WordTube videos.
    #4. I think nextGEN is the greatest gallery available to WordPress users. Please don’t get me wrong. It was really my fault not having my gallery in place prior to updating to flash 10. But it put me between a rock and a hard place when I ran into problems with the upload not working and the non ability to read an existing directory. I had just moved hosting accounts, thus the FTP suggestion.

    The only thing I really have a hard time doing with my users (family) is explaining how to upload, create galleries and albums, thus the directory /sub directory suggestion. In a perfect world, for me, and I am guess many who are looking towards starting or changing galleries, reading a top level directory as an Album and Sub directories below it as Galleries would be a great feature as an option. I like the idea of having the ability to create galleries on my own, especially if I want to have a showcase gallery with a mixture of pictures already in other galleries. But this was only a suggestion since in my mind (I have never worked with galleries in the past) made logic sense.

    But I love NextGEN and these are only suggestions and apologize if my original comment came out wrong.
