Is there any way you would be willing to test this out some more and try to come up with an exact sequence of events that make the problem happen? You mentioned the auto approval part seemed to be having an issue. If you could give me a little more info about what exactly you did to get the problem to appear I could look into it some more.
Hi James, I've spent a lot of hours on this issue and am slowly making progress.
Here is a rough sequence.
1) Upgraded to DNN 4.5.1, worked fine, but Gallery Module v 3.?? never worked
2) Downloaded your updated Gallery Module from your website and updated to Gallery Module v 4.?? about a week ago. Gallery module now works, can create Albums and sometime upload pics. This is a big jump forward.
3) Strange problem uploading pics, where I can "Add File" ok, but when I press "Update" the entry disappears but no file appears.
4) This was an intermittant problem, as sometimes I could upload files, other I could'nt. It's difficult to diagnose, as I tried many different variations to get it working. I tried changing the page/module access permissions, I tried different file sizes/formats/resolutions.
5) The only thing that seemed to consistently help was turning "Auto Approval" off. After this the files were uploaded consistently with a date of 31/12/9999. I then edit the entry with a reasonable approval date and the file appears.
6) I always use 5/5/2007 as the approval date, as a previous forum entry suggested DNN was having problems with the date format and this date should be universally accepted.
The Gallery Module is fantastic, but needs further testing and fixes to work smoothly with DNN 4.5.1.
