Hi,

I have my images on flickr, one thing that really bugs me is the naming of the folder and the images when an order is placed, I can see the system is using the flickr album ID number and the flickr image number but this makes finding images a bit of a pain.

Is it possible for Event Gallery to use the album title and the actual image number as exampled below,

current

72157673310203734|30534986964

Proposed

EventTitle|IMG_7715

Cheers
Stu

It is possible but it's not an out of the box feature. The line item just safes the folder and the file name. In case of Flickr and Google Photos this is usually a number or something similar. From a line item one does not want to look back to the original image since the data might have changed.

The order confirmation mail contains a thumbnail of the image. Does this help a bit?

Just in case you want to try PHP code:

administrator/components/com_eventgallery/views/order/tmpl/default.php:118

echo $item->getFile()->getFileTitle();
echo $item->getFile()->getFileCaption();

Thats excellent, thank you.

As you say, you do get the thumbnail but when you have 600+ images that look similar the image name if far quicker.

Thanks again, all sorted now.
