Title: Can't add a gallery picture to a "Fractal eXtreme" gallery
Post by: simon.snake on March 11, 2013, 11:18:05 PM
Think the Subject and description say it all but if this could be added that would be really handy. Otherwise, I'll add the image I want to share the 'old fashioned' way (linking remotely).

Thanks.

Gallery section.

When you select the option to add a new picture the first prompt is to select a category.  Fractal eXtreme isn't listed.

Thanks.

Hi cK

Did you manage to look at this issue?

I started the process of adding an image to the gallery but there still is no 'linked to boards' for Fractal eXtreme.

Thanks

Hi CK.  I notice you've not added Fractal eXtreme Gallery category.

While browsing the gallery, within the "Linked to Boards | Fractal Software" gallery there are three sub-galleries which do not contain any images at all.

They are Chaotica, quadrium 2, and quadrium | flame.

If there's some sort of limit to the number of galleries (which I'd be surprised about), maybe deleting one or more of those and setting up a Fractal eXtreme gallery with a link to the appropriate gallery board in the main forum would be a possibility.

I know I've asked before, but there really doesn't seem to be anywhere else appropriate to upload to.  Unless you've changed it, uploading to 2d which seems to be the only other possible place used to (and may still) go to one of the old competition folders.

Thanks,

Simon

I don't usually mess with the gallery, but just tried to add this category.

Give it a try and let me know if it functions as you expect - and what could be different if not   O0

Hope it works!

Hi Sockratease,

Thanks for this.  It did work (I've uploaded one image) but I would have thought it would have 'linked to board' to the gallery that has been created as a sub-group of the Fractal eXtreme board (http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery-b207/ (http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery-b207/)).

Other than that, thank you and hopefully this will get some use.

Glad it's working!   O0

That is easily changed, but the default on every other "Linked To Boards" is set to go to "Rate My Image" - so I put it there.  Are there any gallery images that go anyplace else when a thread is created automatically?

If not, we'd have to ask Christian if that is how he wants it, or if we could change it, or even if we should change many!  The change is easily done, but I'm not sure how Christian wants things   :police:

I understand that the FractInt gallery posts into the gallery of the FractInt forum (as I'm currently the only person uploading to that gallery)...

Will have a quick look to see if I'm not simply mixing things up and getting confused (easily done now since I turned 40 on April 1st this year). Quickly looked (my last post into the gallery was a FractInt image I called Footsteps), and it is linked to the FractInt|Gallery forum
