Editing albums without setting a thumbnail - wongm - 2008-10-24
The issue I have at present is sorting the images in an album with about 50 subalbums, and a thousand or so images in it. When time comes to load the page - eg:
http://www.domain.com/gallery/zp-core/admin.php?page=edit&album=albumnamehere
It loads every single image inside every subalbum as a dropdown in the 'Thumbnail' options for the album. Because of the huge number of images, the server hangs and then times out on my slower internet connection.
The 'sort gallery' option only seems to work for images, not subalbums - eg:
http://www.domain.com/gallery/zp-core/albumsort.php?page=edit&album=albumnamehere/
Is there any other way to sort subalmums, or to suppress the humg list of thumbnail options?

Looking through the code, a quick and dirty way of suppressing the listing of thumbnails is to open up admin-functions.php and searching for the text "Thumbnail:" then comment out the entire code block where the thumbnail dropdown is located in, bounded by and . I never used the set thumbnail functionality anyway, but if you did then this workaround is no use to you.

Even easier, disable the "visual thumb selection" in the admin options.
