Phoca Forum

Hello!

I am using Phoca Gallery for the first time for several clients. Thank you for a wonderful tool!

I would like to be able to add images to categories via Multiple Add and use the file names as created for the images. To test this, I have used the Multiple Add feature via the Control Panel and Images areas to see how they function.

When I upload multiple images and DO NOT add a title in the Title line...the images upload into the selected category with their original file name intact, however, they do so with a subcategory having been created as well. I noticed that, if I ADD a title, it applies it to every image and overwrites the original file name and keeps all of the images at the Category level with no Subcategory.

Is there a way to add multiple images to a category and retain the original file names WITHOUT having a subcategory be automatically created?

Thank you,

Caprice

Hi, if there is no title, when you add images with Multiple Add feature, the title will created from the filename

Thank you Jan. I understand that and have tested that option. What happens when I do this is that a subcategory is created.

Hi, subcategory is only created if ther is subfolder

Thank you for your reply Jan. I figured out the process that needs to occur in this instance.

If I Create a Category and save it without selecting a folder, then upload images by selecting the images directly and NOT the folder with the desired images, the images upload without creating a subfolder. Otherwise, if I select the folder to load the images, a subfolder is created.

Took a while to figure out - glad I did and hope this is of use to others!
