Hi,

By importing images from google photos, the number of images imported seems to be capped at 300 images!
Is there a way to import all the images (over 900 per album)?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Robert,

is it stopping after 300 images exactly? Or is something running into a timeout? I guess it would be a better idea to implement this as a CLI command.

I uploaded this version: https://www.svenbluege.de/joomla-event-gallery/eventgallery-download/event-gallery-bleeding/eventgallery-5-4-6

It moves the migration to the CLI. This will not run into a timeout. It will also migrate all Google Photos Events at once.

I added some details here: https://www.svenbluege.de/blog/updates/217-oops-they-did-it-again-changes-to-the-google-photos-api-integration

Thank you for your reply, and sorry for my late reply, I didn't see your reply go through.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI), I'm on a shared server and I'm not a developer.

And to answer your first question, Yes,... 300 images have been precisely imported (out of a total of 900)

Should I try again with your version 5.4.6?

The link in the frontend is gone and replaced with a more reliable cli approch. You need ssh access . Worst case: do the conversion on a local backup and copy over files and database. I use a shared host too, but with sah access.

Sorry Sven,

It's not through the import that I have this problem of blocking at 300 images, but by using the sharing system. (Shared Page)

I don't know how to import the images from Google photo...

🤦‍♂️😁

You're talking about Google shared pages?

Yes, the sharing system seems to be capped at 300 images... (see attachment)

And when I try to import according to your instructions, the system displays an error (see attachment)

Alright.

For the shared page, I can only grab what Google is showing in the html of the page. You're lucky, I would expext just 150 pictures. That limitation I can't remove :(

For using the Google Photos selector, you need to create the app in the Google cloud console and grant it the needed access to apis.
