How can I turn off attachments in Gallery editor

Featured Replies

Posted

I think my members are the dumbest on the planet.

When uploading images they are using attachments to insert the image they THINK they are uploading to a gallery album. They also do this when attempting to insert a video link in @Mike John's Videos application -- they put the video link in the editor instead of in the Video URL field. Ugghhh.

Is there a way I can remove the Insert other media button from the editor there?

I agree for the first post (not the comments) remove the ability to upload images, in databases and in Gallery. Gallery is to upload to the Gallery and users can become confused and add to posts here, and in databases, we use the image fields, with the editor it takes that control away.

As @Joel R pointed out after I made that request for databases, the same problem exists for Gallery.

We should at least have a setting.

Don't worry.  My members have uploaded the entire album in the description, ha.  

It makes for a very awkward layout.

Im thinking to get rid of the gallery full stop.  Ive mentioned elswhere that we might just as well create a forum and let them add attachments and discussion about them as a topic. Gallery will cause complete chaos for sure ...

its not the memers that are dumb its the gallery :sad:

Try editing your language file until IPS can address.

Maybe at step 3 where it says Add Information, under it, in red text put:

Do not upload Gallery images here
Images here appear in description only

or similar

errrr   how do we do that?  can I buy you some beer to help me?

Search languages for Add Information. If more than one comes up make sure it is for Gallery uploading. Edit file, add line break after Add Information, add red text message.

I was about to release a quick plugin to avoid this but there's a bug on Gallery:

We'll have to wait.

No, that's NOT what I reported. It works when you EDIT the image. I'm talking about when you ADD image.

Will post on Tracker.

Thats a Screenshot from adding an image.

The only bug here is the title 'editing'

True, my bad! :D

Will release a quick plugin to avoid that.

This is great. Would be good if you could remove the Insert Other Media button too.

What about a plugin to avoid adding attachments to album description?

I don't think it's possible.
