attached is a patch for customfield module that allows one to set custom fields in all items in a given album and its sub-albums. A new form appears on a [Custom Fields] tab of "Edit Album"

Hey, thanks for the patch! It's tested on current svn version, right?

No, it isn't. From the list of API changes and change history for customfield module it doesn't look like there should be any problems applying the patch to the current version. But I didn't try.

Any chance someone can post a link to the files already altered. I only have FTP access to the machine that the files are on and I don't know how to apply the patch files on a Windows machine. Thanks

Sergii, Servantes, How do I apply this patch?
Does this patch finally enable you to mass change keywords and titles with the bulkmanage?

Its supposed to work just by using some kind of commandline statement, that would change the lines in the original files so as to achieve these new functionalities.
I was just in your same situation so I finally decided to open the patch file with the notepad and change, one by one, every line of code. It didnt work at first, but as I ve been programming for some time...got it to work. If you see the dates...there was 1 month between the "how to" and the "working!" messages.
So all I can tell you is to change the code lines one by one...and it will work!

Could you please advise roughly were the following lines of code from the patch go.
Its in the file CustomFieldItemEdit.tpl.
Roughly what line number, etc.
+
+function enabledisable(checkbox, name) {
+ var elem=document.getElementsByName(name).item(0);
+ elem.disabled = ! checkbox.checked;
+}
+
I know in the patch file it has what comes before/after the code you need to insert, but I can't find where to insert it.
Thanks!

anywhere. it's javascript, so make sure to put it inside <script> tag. actually inside
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
{literal}
... javascript here ...
{/literal}
// ]]>

Thanks.
I had everything except for that.
I will test it out and see if it works.

Just tested it.
Had a problem.
After I enter in my information on the edit albums custom fields page, and click save, the page goes blank with www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php in the address bar.
Tried in IE7 and FF(2.0), same problem.
I have attached the files I edited in hope that you could check the coding to see if its all correct.
Thanks.

the patch was for gallery 2.1, it'll need changes for 2.2
e.g. error handling was changed, in 2.1 it used to be
if ($ret) {
return array($ret->wrap(__FILE__, __LINE__), null, null, null);
}
in 2.2. it's
if ($ret) {
return array($ret, null, null);
}
if all you see is an empty page, check httpd logs to see what went wrong, there should be php errors in there

Updated new files with correct 2.2 code.
Still have the blank page problem.
Sorry, how can I check the httpd logs?

Luke, I know this is an old post but you chopped out the saveFieldValues function from CustomFieldHelper.class. Seems to work fine in g2.3.
