EDIT SIGHTINGS IS NOW WORKING. You can add and delete individual species rows, delete photos and add multiple photos. See How TO ADD MULTIPLE PHOTOS elsewhere on this forum for instructions.
The above issues are NOW FIXED but we have now found you cannot delete a photo at all other than by deleting the whole species record from the sighting. We are awaiting feedback from the developers on this.
Watch this space for updates.
Sorry for this, Steve, I will add this to the things to check when we get a fix. In the meantime please keep a note of what you need to alter/add so you can do it later.
You can add a photo to a sighting on the Add a Sighting page but at only at the time you originally enter the sighting. (I guess you knew that Steve as you have already added photos)
We are having problems with the Edit Sightings page which is where you should be able to add extra photos. For full details of the known problems here, see our reply to Steve Gantlett (dated 10 April) in the Teething Issues thread below.We cannot currently display any captions on photos but do plan to look into creating a much better galley in the future.
In the meantime when you click on a photo in the gallery the file name that was given to the photo by the person who uploaded it is shown in the url bar on your browser. If people put the species name and any other information they like, e.g. their name, on the file before uploading it this will show.
When attaching a photo, if you want information displayed, please amend the file name accordingly.
The Photo Gallery can be accessed from the Records tab / Photo Gallery or at the bottom of the Home Page.
There are various issues with Edit Sightings which had been fixed but have now returned, The ones we know of are:
i) Cannot add additional photos
ii) Cannot add a single photo to a sighting to an existing record
iii) Deleting a single species record doesn’t work
We hope to get these fixed soon and will post when here it is done.
If, in the meantime, you have any sightings you want deleted please contact us and we will delete them for you.
If you find any more problems on the Edit Sightings page please do add them here.
This is a problem with PayPal being slow to complete the set up of our account. Should be OK in a few days time. We have added a note about this on the membership page.
It seems to be working now.
Photos attached to all sightings entered between 17:30 on 4th April and 12:02 on 6th April are not showing in the gallery. Those before and after this period are OK. Note this is the time they were entered on the site not the sighting date. The developers are looking into why this happened and seeing how to best re-instate them on the gallery.
It seems to be doing so in some cases. Will look at it further tomorrow.
Tuesday: I am still looking at this, I can’t currently understand which photos are not making the Gallery and why, but am hoping as more get entered it will become obvious what the cause is.
