I want to use gallery in a social site,where user can upload images,the problem is that when user uploads through add items tab, he only have to brows image,thats it,the results than is something like 553311260396653.jpg. that all no title,coustom field,tag,re-sizes etc.though it can be done under edit item,but than users dont care for it.

So i was wondering either add item tab by default lead the user to item edit tab or much better some form or wizard module can be crated which make it compulsory to the user to fill certain data.

any suggestion on how to do it or from where should i start,

regards,

Hi,

Please take a deep breath, slow down ... go over your post and rewrite it to make it more understandable.

ok sorry about that,here is what I want,

suppose an end user has a file 553311260396653.jpg and he/she uploads than the image appears in the gallery as it is if after uploading it the user dont go to edit item and gives some name to it, same is true for custom fields,key-words,tags etc.

similarly if I am adding other data type like mp3 or video than I also want to add the custom thumbnail at the time of upload,

so what i am hoping is to create:-

CASE I- some form which has all such parameter in it and are compulsory for every user to fill in at time of upload.

or

CASE II- on the other hand if this is not possible, cause gallery first uploads the item and creates an item id than attributes this id all other data values. In this case I guess it will be possible to achieve what I want by making a step by step process. meaning after user uploads through add item page and clicks upload the user is returned to the page edit item and so on for adding custom fields.

look with caseI there is another possible advantage,If some gallery admin dont wants the users to give permission to edit items still it will be possible to have the custom field,keywords,thums etc.

Both options are possible in theory.

You will have to edit either core/itemAdd.inc & core/templates/itemAdd.tpl for Case 1 or core/itemAddConfirmation.inc & core/templates/itemAddConfirmation.tpl for Case 2

Take a look at those and see how you can bend the process.
