Gallery App Upgrade

I've just upgraded my test server from Perch version 2 to 3 and mostly fine. The perch Gallery app is 2.8.6. When I log in under My Site there are 4 occurencies for Gallery which is strange. All have the same content so is mainly a cosmetic issue but may be confusing to client. I tried upgrading the gallery to 2.8.9 but all the images that are viewable in the gallery Album on CMS admin, disappear from the website gallery page, just leaving a title. Any ideas?

My apps.php is: <?php $apps_list = array( 'perch_gallery', );

gallery PHP: <div id="reel">

        <!-- Reel Header Item -->       
        <div id="titlebox" class="item" data-width="400">
          <div class="inner">
            <?php perch_gallery_album_details("gallery"); ?>
          </div>
       </div>

        <!-- Thumb Items -->        
        <?php
        perch_gallery_album_images("gallery", array(
          'template'=>'album-image.html'
        ));
        ?>

      </div>

Do you have multiple instances of the Gallery app in your apps folder?

Have you tried rebuilding the menu in Settings?

Hi Drew, I did try rebuilding which didn't work but then I saw another post that suggested deleting all instances of gallery app (I had different versions under different folder names) then rebuilt menu and reinstated app and that worked. Thanks

I still have an issue that if I upgrade the app from 2.8.6 to 2.8.9 then I can see all images in the album on admin page but on the site the images disappear I don't know if I should update the php request code in any way?

<?php perch_gallery_album_images("gallery", array( 'template'=>'album-image.html' ));

If you turn on debug, what does it output when the images don't show?

Hi Drew,

I found the problem. I needed to copy over the album-image.html template from 2.8.6 to 2.8.9

Another small issue with 2.8.9 - The Title field in 2.8.9 does not pick up on the H1 heading format so it appears as small text. I tried putting a # before title text to no avail. If I format some of the text in the main description box as a heading then that works fine but you are left with small Title text above. Hope this makes sense.

Richard
