I'm running G2 B1...

In G1, I've been running a FULL gallery wide slide show on a digital picture frame that I've built from and old laptop.... ( Cool stuff! )

In G2, when I'm at the 'root' of my gallery, and click view slideshow, I get: This album has no photos to show in a slideshow.

What am I missing in order to have G2 display all of my site images in the full screen java app. like G1 did/does?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

if you look in your Slideshow.inc inside your modules/slideshow, you'll want to look for $recursive = false and change it to true

Sorry for the delay in this...

ziddey:

When I change to true and try to load the slide show, I now get this:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in e:\Web\2000transamcom\gallery2\modules\core\classes\GalleryDataCache.class on line 416

When I looked at that file, on line 416, it says:

if ($id > 100) {

Help?

I'm trying to load just over 20,000 images into my slide show.

We need to rearchitect the slideshow to make it handle that many images. The current design simply won't work for that. This redesign won't happen any time soon, but it'll happen.

:) funny you should ask. i may have found one. a friend of mine (php developer) promised to help me out with a few module related things, but our main problem is finding the time to sit down and do it.

Probably won't be until after the final release of G2. Then the devs will start working on new features again.

Old thread, but I changed the recursive setting to true as indicated in this thread and it seems to work fine.

I tried doing the recursive setting, and it still doesn't work. Mind you, I'm now up around 28k images.
