Upgrade on the homepage system ...

The blog categories have been revamped. You may experience missing cats or entries not where they belong.

- You can now mass move.
- You can now mass delete.
- You can now choose which entries will display on blog index page. By default, all entries will display on index page.
- You can change the Categories display order. Plus, you can hide a category (w/ display order of 0). This will hide the entries but can still be accessible via a direct link ... good for friends/family who may want to comment.

Gallery system completely revamped.

- You can change the display order. Plus, you can hide an album (w/ display order of 0). This will hide all photos from gallery index but photos can still be accessible via a direct link ... good for friends/family who may want to comment.
- You can now comment on a photo.

If photo didn't have an album (eg. My Photos), the photo will now be private but accessible via a direct link ... you can also access them via USERCP. You can always move the photos to a public album.

Unlike photos in a "Hidden Album", these photos can still be shared with others .. post comments, etc. "Hidden Album" photos cannot be shared publicly.

If your photos are not now showing, it is because they were not in an album so are now hidden. If you go to My Settings - Edit Photos you will see they are in a hidden album (see 1st attachment (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=58&d=1176109993)).

Go to Edit Albums and create a new album (see 2nd attachment (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=59&d=1176110212)).

Then go back to Edit Photos. Tick the box to the right of each photo you want to move to the new album (or tick the box above the column to select them all). Set the Action thing to Move Photos and click Go.

Choose the album to move them to, then click Move Items (3rd attachment (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=60&d=1176110413)).

If you then go to Edit Photos again, you will see they are in the album (4th attachment (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=61&d=1176110570)), and if you go to your gallery you'll find your pictures are back (5th attachment (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=62&d=1176110655)). :thumbsup:

It doesn't work for me. The only action available is "Delete Photos"...

Yes, it's changed a bit again. Change the view thing above the list to a specific album (such as Hidden Album) rather than Show All, then the Move option becomes available. See attached.
