Hello Phoca Forum,
Sorry, I'm a total beginner with Joomla 5.4.0 and Phoca Gallery. I managed to install Phoca Gallery. What I didn't manage to do is install the German language in the backend. The ZIP file is not recognized under Extensions. OK, that's not as serious as my second problem.
Subfolders: So the main directory is images/phocagallery/ now I want to upload several images using the “Multiple ADD” function and I can see the directory structure on the right. I can also create directories using Create Folder. Example images. OK, images is created and I can select it. Then subdirectory... Excursion... But then I want to create another one, which is no longer displayed. The previous directory is displayed.
I even uploaded the subdirectory including images via FTP, but the subdirectory is not displayed for selection.
Adding Multiple Images Multiple Folders not possible - Shows only 2 Subfolders

I think i found a bug: If the Folder has German Charakter like (ü/ö/ä) than it do not show the subfolders. I changed from (ü into ue) and than it works.

I noticed something else. Spaces are not allowed either. This means that if there are spaces in the file name, the images will not be displayed. So fill them with “_” or something similar. Sorry, but software in 2025 should be able to do that, right?

Hi,
Immer noch können längst nicht alle Server damit umgehen.
Freundliche Grüße,

Deshalb wird empfohlen keine Umlaute, Leerstellen und möglichst nur Kleinschreibung für Verzeichnisnamen und Dateinamen zu verwenden: https://www.reisefotografien.eu/phoca-b ... eraufladenI think i found a bug: If the Folder has German Charakter like (ü/ö/ä) than it do not show the subfolders.

Wie gesagt, immer noch können leider längst nicht alle Server mit Umlauten, Leerstellen usw. umgehen.Sorry, but software in 2025 should be able to do that, right?
