Subject: Albums not working correctly?


DMFW ( ) posted Mon, 04 July 2016 at 12:59 AM · edited Sun, 12 January 2025 at 9:15 AM

There seems to be an issue with albums in personal galleries not displaying correctly at the moment. I created a new album for some old art work recently and added images to it. These saved fine and have retained the album they are linked to on subsequent editing. The album also knows how many images are in it with the correct count shown on the album title page, but it does not show the images inside it. Interestingly the first time I tried to do this the first three images worked (i.e. could be seen) and it stopped working on images 4 to 8. Just as an experiment I deleted the entire album, created a new one and re-added the images. In the new album none of the images show, although again the title count is correct (and this time I changed some of the permission properties at the same time to see if that would make a difference). Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I had that same problem. The "fix" is just to wait. It's been a while since I populated my albums, but it seems like it wasn't more than an hour or two before stuff started to show up on the album page. Like you, the count was right, but the images weren't showing on the page. Crazy slow, I know, but eventually everything did show up. I think I had to reload a couple images that got skipped in the queue, but eventually I got everything in.

Ah, not just me then :-) In my case, the images still aren't shown in the album even after waiting ten days so I don't think they are going to ever show! I guess from your description that some sort of background batch process runs to build the album from the galley, otherwise I might have imagined it was just linked dynamically from the image tagging. I might try to drop the album and recreate it again, since it's possible the album is now "corrupt" (perhaps whatever process builds it wasn't working properly at the time but well enough to think it had finished). A fresh start may fix it.

And in fact this time around, deleting the album, recreating it and having a bit of patience worked. Within a few minutes the images were in the album. So I suspect (total guess) that when I first hit this problem, whatever process monitors/builds the albums wasn't running (and was incapable of picking up the backlog when it was restarted), but it is now running correctly.

Glad you got it working! Stuff seems to happen randomly around here these days ...
