Hi.  One of our users created an album in the Gallery that contains an "&" in the name.  Gallery let her create the album without any problems.  However, it won't allow the loading of photos or even allow the deleting of the album.  I even tried the bulk load method of loading photos, but to no avail.  I assume that "&" is messing with the Gallery code because it's a string concatenation operator.

By the way, I know that the "&" is definitely the culprit because I created a second album with an "&" in the name, and I got the same symptoms.  It essentially leaves a benign tumor in the gallery that can't be touched via normal methods.

Anyway, is there some other way I can delete the album within the Gallery interface that I don't know about?

If worse comes to worse, I'm sure that I can "surgically" delete it by deleting the corresponding records in the DNN tables and also deleting the corresponding tree in the file system.  However, I would prefer to delete the album using a non-surgical method if possible.

Thanks,
Van


See Ya! Van

I forgot to mention that I tried to search through the forums for help with this issue before I created a new thread.  However, using an "&" in the search string is less than productive! 

See Ya,
Van

Since Gallery creates directories in the File System for each album, the & character is not allowed. Gallery shoudn't allow a name with invalid characters (those not permitted by the FIleSystem). An issue has been logged.


Do you know the truth when you hear it?
