Hi guys,

I'm trying to hide all my albums (without a password) but one of them, however much I try, will not hide, even though it says it is.

Can all albums be hidden or does at least one have to stay visible?

Is there a way to reset all hidden states on all albums so that I can start again with a 'clean' state?

Any pointers to missed documentation is welcome of course ;)

Thanks

Try deleting your browser cookies and cache, then take a look.

did that, I should have mentioned it.

Opened another browser, cleared cache and all cookies but no luck.

I gather I can hide all my albums.

For info:
I increased the php mem to 128M to make sure it wasn't a problem.

I also note that when I launche the hide 'command' it stops mid way and the page stops loading and just says 'done'. I thought it might be a simple cosmetic error and the 100% bar never gets shown but maybe it simply never worked.

Thanks

Have you tried hiding just that album by itself?

What do you mean? Show all albums except that one?

No I have not tried that. Is there a way to reset all albums in one go and start from scratch in terms of permissions, etc?

That one album that isn't hiding, have you tried clicking Edit Album and hiding just that album?

How many items are in that album? Is there sub-albums in that album?

The way I have it setup is for example:

Holidays (hidden)
|
+-- Skii (open)
+-- Sea (open)

I hide holiday and leave the others unhidden. That way, if you know about holidays, you can see all the sub-albums.

For all 'root albums' (Holidays) I set them as hidden but only one root album ignores my settings. I just can't figure it out.

I would try creating a new album, hiding it, while it's empty. Then moving the stuff inside Holidays into that new album. Then delete Holidays and rename the new album to Holidays

Hi again,

Here is what happened. I renamed the original album 'travel' to 'temp' and created a new album 'travel'. It seems however that using the same name was a problem. I guess the name remains somewhere in the database.

Here is the error I get when trying to move the sub-album 'year_01' into the new 'travel' album:

Quote:

An error has occurred.

Back to the Gallery
Error Detail -
Error (ERROR_BAD_PATH) : rename /var/lib/gallery2/g2data/albums/temp/year_01/ to /var/lib/gallery2/g2data/albums/travel/year_01

* in modules/core/classes/GalleryFileSystemEntity.class at line 234 (GalleryCoreApi::error)

* in main.php at line 250 (ItemMoveController::handleRequest)
* in main.php at line 104
* in main.php at line 88

Hmmm... any thoughts now? I tried to create a new album that had nothing to do with any other name but get the same name when moving the albums.

Huh? I have no idea what that is suppose to mean.

As far as I can tell you didn't try following my instructions of creating a temp album first, hiding that, then moving stuff into that temp album. I don't know if that would have worked or not, but it seems to be a more logical way of doing things. Leave the original stuff alone, create a temp "playground" and use that, if working then delete the original stuff and replace with the temp stuff. Not the other way around, which is what you did.

I agree 100% with you. I'll give it another go this evening. I simply restored the db and files to get back to where I was.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your help.

I ended up restoring data and db, creating a new album and copying one sub album at a time.

This did the trick. I think the amount of pics or data was the problem.

All well now. Many thanks!

can't hide all albums
