Hello,

Really thanks UncleCheese : "Image Gallery" is really a good module !

I have a question :

I know "Image Gallery" create folders like /assets/image-gallery/[PageName]/[AlbumName]/. But when i upload images in these folders with "Files & Images" tab, i don't see images in the "Content" Image Gallery page tab (in Photos tab)...

Are we compel to use the "Content" Image Gallery page tab (in Photos tab) to populate albums ? Is it possible to synchronize the "ImageGalleryItem" DB table with the actual content of the /assets/image-gallery/[PageName]/[AlbumName]/ folder ?

thanks for your help.

Totally different process. If you want to import images from AssetAdmin, you have to use the "import from folder" option.

Ok. Thanks.

But, perhaps it should be better to not see the image-gallery folder in Assets ? because i have some clients that puts images in that folders and they think images appear in the Gallery...

I wasn't aware that Silverstripe supported hiding folders from AssetAdmin. Do you know of a way to do that?

I'm looking for a solution...
Perhaps with an Extension on AssetAdmin class ? Could we modify a method (SiteTreeAsUL in AssetAdmin) with an Extension ?

I've done it before. It's not fun. Requires a lot of subclassing and a lot of custom templates.
