I'm trying to convert some of my stuff from Mambo/Menalto G2 gallery into Dotnetnuke Gallery. I can't seem to find the tables where all the gallery data is stored (not the pictures, the metadata e.g. title/description/comments). Am I missing something? There are no Gallery_ tables as there are for blog_ etc. And I can't find any xml file with my albums in either. Help!

TIA

Philip

First of all, Gallery is still BETA.

A metada file is created inside each Gallery Album you create. It contains information about each file and album. There are no tables for the module. There will be in next release.


Do you know the truth when you hear it?

Thanks for the reply...I was looking for a .xml file, not a .resources file (doesn't .res mean a binary file usually?). Found what I was looking for in _metadata.resources.

But it's unsatisfactory to have all this info in the filesystem anyway -- you mention that Gallery is in BETA -- do we know when it will be "released"? And when/if it will be table-based?


cheers

.resources is a protected file extension. the _metadata.resources file is actually an XML file.

There's neither a release date set, nor an estimate.

DAL will store module metadata in the database. Files will use File Manager.
