PT Photo Gallery Import
The Photo Gallery Application has several Custom Components defined within CommonSpot. The components have been exported and are available in the Photo Gallery's "exported-objects" folder located at the root of the Profile application directory (e.g. /ADF/apps/pt_photo_gallery/exported-objects/)
Optional: You may want to create a new category for 'Photo Gallery Elements'.
To import these objects you will need to be an administrator for your site. If you are not, please consult your Server administrator for more information.
Import Custom Elements: (please import in the order stated)
- Photo (Photo-Custom-Element.zip)
- Photo Category (Photo-Category-Custom-Element.zip)
- Photo Size (Photo-Size-Custom-Element.zip)
- Photo Gallery (Photo-Gallery-Custom-Element.zip)
- PTPhotoGallery Configuration (PTPhotoGallery-Configuration-Custom-Element.zip)
Import Metadata:
- PhotoSizeRender (PhotoSizeRender-Metadata-Form.zip)
- Bind this form to the Photo Gallery Listing Display RH
Note: During the installation, import all portions of the components.
Important Note: The imported components render handlers and custom field types must be verified. During the import process the render handler paths may have been changed to reflect the current sites path. Review and update these paths to reference the ADF path. In most cases, this will just require a change in the path from the site name to 'ADF'. Custom field types will need to be unlocked.
Important Note 2: If the custom elements that are imported contain custom field types that are already on the site, the naming convention for the custom field type will be unique. To resolve this, unlock the field types and elements, and reassign the element field type to the pre-existing field type.
Example: The Photo Category custom element contains two uses of the General Chooser field type, if the General Chooser field type is already installed on the site then the import process will attempt to import another General Chooser but with a new naming convention. The new name will be something like "General Chooser_import_1250003208472". To resolve this, open the custom element and assign the field type (General Chooser_import_1250003208472) to the field type with the simple name General Chooser. After reassigning the field type, you can delete the new imported field from the list of custom field types.
