JTrollerb123 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi, I'm looking to put an emphasis on user uploaded photos - To create a mini instagram using the theme of my site. Instagram and also fb are so simple in that regard - You simply hit the upload button, select the photo, and boom its posted. But the steps required and interface to upload photos are nowhere near simple. You have all these menus and fields about descriptions, file details, captions, etc etc. A HUGE barrier for getting lots of photos. Anyone else see this challenge? And is there any way to make it more simple with the latest 4.2.7 version? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmk Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Gallery should be improved, but in this case you dont need fill nothing, only click next step and pictures will be uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those fields are all optional during photo uploads (except tags if you set a gallery category to require them, which you just wouldn't in this case). You may also be interested in checking out the changes in 4.3 for Gallery uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrollerb123 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Glad to know that the next version will help with all of this. Getting there quickly! Any ETA on when 4.3 will be released? In meantime what do you think about just skinning out the extra stuff? Wouldn’t cause issues would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles said expect the beta "Soon (tm)" in the 4.3 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
