From my old web page still on joomla 3.10.2. and event gallery 4.3.2: https://watersports.si/en/photos/photos-2025 gallery strop working since have no google photos url support, and on other side is time to move to new domain + joomla 5.2.2. I was tested and gallery 5.4.9. working well: https://divingbled.si/foto/fotografije-2025

 

Now question...on old web page (on google photos) i have many 500+ galleries. Any possibility to import them in new web page, after that just manual edit google photos url in therm to manualy add it in all galleries.

Hey, 

you could "just" copy over the content of the table "#__eventgallery_folder". This might cause trouble with Tags and categories, but in the end you have the events in the new site and you can start changing them. Copy the content, not the table structure! Use only insert-statements.

You need to check why the import fails. Probable because some fields do not exist in the new table structure. Those fields you need to delete first.

looks like we did it....now work, only need to fix categories and off course new google photos links...it was over 1000 gallery...i hope after done all links i hope web page will be not slow ;)

sbluege

It will be slower! Every album needs an update every 24h. If you have enough traffic, this is not an issue. If not, people will constantly wait because they are the first triggering the update. 

What would help:

  • call you page with a tool tike Uptime Robot
  • use a CRONJob and curl to trigger some pages with many albums. 

Both actions will help refreshing the albums before users would do.

matjazr

any idea how to trigger CRON job?
Looks like will be needed ;)

sbluege

There is a CRON-service on your server and you just schedule a simple curl command calling a webpage with a list of albums. 

The same you can get with Uptime Robots or any other tool which can call URLs. This would allow doing this even if you don't have ssh access to your webserver.

have cron, but have no idea how to run it...looks like this:

Try uptime robot. It's free for some URLs. Maybe this is already enough and simpler

If you need to run something with cron, try "curl https:/...."
