Hi Sven,

I want to automate the event generation to use it without the backend. So a standard selection page for the customer should be created that always should have a similar content (only the images differ). Also a link can be generated automatically to be used for email contact.
So the complete event generation for the customer should be simplified for users that are not familiar with the Eventgallery backend.
Using a Windows batch file should do the necessary jobs (where it is possible) to let the event been generated from within the Windows Explorer (context menu).

1. Uploading files
Works perfectly using FTP and transferring it to the appropriate folder "/images/eventgallery/"

2. Generate event
Is it possible to auto-sync on an other way than using cron jobs? It would be nice to do it from within my Windows batch.

3. Default event settings
Is it possible to set some specific settings like date (currently uses "30. November -0001"), password , cartable, the description field and the enable status. By default the event is disabled and is cartable. Maybe it would be possible to set these settings from an additional file that may be located in the /images/eventgallery/ folder where the images reside.

Are (some of) these features already possible?
What would be necessary to realize these features? Is there a way to write an own component or something else or do you plan some of these features in the near future?

Best regards,
Volker

Hi,

I don't plan changes in those areas.

1. done
2. cron is just a way to call the php script. You can use something else on Windows.
3. you can try to name an event like "2018-01-17_My_Title" to fill both the date and the title field. The other flags are not possible.

Of course, you can add some additional code to change/extend the behavior.

Hi Sven,

the hint with the date helps. For the other things I will see. Thanks.
