Only one photo is kept in gallery after toggling "Is public" off and back on.

[maheshkronecker]

Hello. I have a Photologue gallery with 6 photos, initially correctly displayed. In the admin page "Change gallery", if I toggle "Is public" off, save the settings, and later toggle "Is public" back on, only one of the 6 photos is ticked in the Photos section. If I try to manually re-select the other 5 photos and save, it will have no effect, only one photo will be displayed in the gallery.
Is this a bug? Can someone reproduce it? Thanks.

I can't seem to reproduce this bug.
Could you provide more details please: Django version, Photologue version, Python version, ...

Hi,
Thanks for the extra information; even armed with that, I still cannot reproduce this bug. There must be something specific to your environment that is causing the issue.
If it's a problem with Photologue, then presumably someone else will encounter this bug; so I will leave this ticket open for a while, to see if more information becomes available.

[maheshkronecker]

Understood and thank you for looking into this. I will investigate further at my end to see whether I can find out which peculiarity in my own settings may be causing the problem, which I can still easily reproduce for the moment. I will let you know if I find out.

I have the same issue. If I select multiple images from gallery and view my site only one image is shown.
when I go back to gallery only one image is shown as selected. I am using django 1.10 and apache.

Im having the same issue where if I select multiple photos to add to my gallery and hit save only the first selected photo gets added to that gallery. At first when I was setting up photologue I was following the steps in the documentation. I created my own folder called "photoGallery" and inside there it had a models.py file which looked like this
https://pastebin.com/AZ2ibQwP
and it also had an admin.py file which looked like this.
https://pastebin.com/uzQHrBPc

In the end I wasnt able to figure out how to view the gallery on the front end of my website so I just ended up using all the default files from the photologue folder instead of the custom folder that I made. On my site i can view any galleries I make but each gallery only saves one picture.
Here is a link to my websites gallery page

Hi @Tedgar20 apologies for the slow response. What version of django-sortedm2m is installed on your system?

[Tedgar20]

@richardbarran thanks for responding back. How would I go about checking that?

[richardbarran]

@Tedgar20 the command pip freeze will list all 3rd party packages installed - there will be a line with django-sortedm2m and its version number.

[Tedgar20]

@richardbarran django-sortedm2m==1.4.0

[richardbarran]

Hi again - I thought that maybe the issue was caused by an old version of django-sortedm2m - but 1.4.0 is a recent release. So that's not the issue.
So I'm still confused by this issue, as I cannot reproduce it. From your description, I'm wondering if the Javascript in the admin page is broken, and that when you select multiple photos and hit 'save', only the first photo's information is sent back to the server. But this is just speculation by me.

[Tedgar20]

Yeah maybe thats it. Thanks anyway for responding though I really appreciate it.

I had the same problem but managed to sort it out.

Make sure you run the following command after installing the library:

python manage.py collectstatic

[nihal111]

I've been having the same problem. Everything works locally, but I can only select one photo per gallery when in production.

python manage.py collectstatic doesn't seem to solve it.

[nihal111]

I figured out what was causing the problem. The static js and css files belonging to sortedm2m were getting a 404 on the production website.
To identify if this is the issue with you, check the Networks tab of the developer console in your browser to see if all files are loading with code 200.

When I checked on the localhost website, I found all those files being fetched normally (200 OK).

To solve this I copied the js and css files belonging to sortedm2m into
project_root_directory/static/sortedm2m/

Running a python manage.py collectstatic after this solved my problem.
@richardbarran I think the sortedm2m static files should be added inside this directory-
https://github.com/jdriscoll/django-photologue/tree/master/example_project/example_project/static
Not sure if it's the right practice.

If anyone faces the same issue, please try the above steps and confirm if the solution works for you.

[cubells]

I can confirm @nihal111 solution.

[richardbarran]

I'm glad that @nihal111 has found a workaround, and that @cubells has confirmed that it works. I'm uneasy with the suggestion to copy sortedm2m static files into Photologue - I think that the issue is with sortedm2m, and needs sorting there.
I have a question for @nihal111 and for @cubells - can you confirm that sortedm2m is in the INSTALLED_APPS setting?

[nihal111]

@richardbarran Confirming that sortedm2m was in fact inside INSTALLED_APPS in my settings.py file.

[cubells]

Yes, I can confirm @richardbarran

[richardbarran]

Thanks both for the input.
If anyone has this issue again - could you please paste a screenshot of the Networks tab of the developer console in your browser. I'd be very interested in seeing which files are not being loaded.
