Hmm, so the problem is that you can't set a new login?

Well, the login is actually the same. I have the Neocities membership, so I have 2 websites under one login.

The logins are actually different; you use the sites username to upload to a particular site e.g. melonking v gifypet !

I've been trying to upload my art gallery so I can host my archive on my personal site and it's been giving me some grief. Whenever I try to upload it, I get this error:

Quote
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at IncomingMessage.<anonymous>
(C:\Users\Delta\AppData\Local\Temp\2WPKY5t4BLcL5Irs8dxKtSsXTmj\resources\app.as...:31)
at IncomingMessage.emit (node:events:525:35)
at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1359:12)
at process.process TicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)

Is there either a fix or a workaround for this? I've tried redownloading the program and it hasn't seemed to help. I renamed all of the files to not have any characters that aren't numbers, letters, or spaces, so that can't be the problem.

Also, is there any way to manually organize the folders in the gallery? I'd like it to go like January 2017 - February 2017 - March 2017 (and so forth), but it seems to be stuck going like April 2017 - April 2018 - April 2019 since its alphabetical. Worst comes to worst I can just number the folders accordingly, but I'd like to avoid it since I'd have to change the number every time I add a new month.

The best I can tell from that error is that Neocities is responding with junk information instead of telling the gallery maker whats wrong ~ it does this a lot, and its really been painfully unreliable to work with :ohdear:

The only work around is to try again at another time, maybe NC will sort itself out; otherwise you can use the NC CLI to manually upload your gallery (I tend to do this with mine).

(Assuming you want your gallery to be MYURL/gallery - put your output gallery in an empty folder, then run to CLI from that folder and use the push command!)



manually organize the folders in the gallery
Numbering is your best option! The Gallery maker has no UI for sorting or organising; it just replicates and formats folders and files; its not within its scope to add UI to do that. However I presume the issue for you here is that you just want the links on the index page sorted? 

You can always edit the index file yourself after it generates, or just create your own and link to it, instead of the default index; alternatively you could even include a javascript that sorts the links based on your own parameters!

I see that some folks have set this up so that the gallery initially displays thumbnails, then shows the full image when clicking on an item. Does that reduce load time at all? Is there a way to only have those larger images load after the link is clicked?

I feel a lil dumb, but how do I use these templates? I keep clicking on the Pixel Shop folder, but it never makes any changes to how the gallery looks. It's the same default theme as always. I feel like I'm failing at the starting line. Any help? I'd love to use pixel shop as a base at least, but this is really messing up how well I can do that.

this program is PRETEND shareware! You can register it, but it won't unlock anything, this is a free program, its just for fun  :tongue:
:chef:

Hi, I was not sure if this would be possible, but after a little tinkering I got it working  :ha: , I have released a special Windows 7 download on the downloads page ^^
This is just awesome. I mean the fact that you made this work on windows 7 because it didn't work out for a user  :4u:

I had thought about creating galleries on my page but didn't felt like dooing it manually. I just found out about this piece of software and I really think I will try it out soon. I might as well change my mind and hack the code into my editor manually when I feel like

edit: How much effort would be needed to release this as a web application?



Anyway... Thanks for contributing so much @Melooon  !!!

Clicking a folder is never gonna change anything about a file :tongue: I'm confident you have all the info you need, you'll figure it out, you just need to put the right things in the right place.

How much effort would be needed to release this as a web application?
As far as I know there are a bunch of restrictions about web applications accessing files on your computer - since this reads and bunch of images off your harddrive and then writes a bunch of web pages and compressed images to your harddrive; that's the reason it needs to run locally. That said; if there's a way to have harddrive access from a web app (maybe in the future if its not possible now) then this totally might become a web app and that would be a good final form for it to take. (its open source so maybe someone else will do it if I don't!)

These damn restrictions. You are right. I tried fiddling around with something similar and it wasn't that easy. I think I stopped working on my script just because of this and I would have needed to dig into node.js and other stuff.

What I had in mind initially was a web application, that lets you choose the images from your hard drive for example, then you can input the url of the folder where the gallery will be hosted and the program spits out the html and chosen css template for copying & pasting it into your website editor and manually uploading the images.

This would be fire already!

hello! this may be a silly question, but is there any way for this program to display photos from newest to oldest? i'm not sure where in the settings or code i could mess with the display order, if possible at all. thank you and i'm sorry if this question has already been asked!

display photos from newest to oldest?
Its alphanumeric, so the only way to sort images is by giving them sequenced names 1 2 3, or a b c etc - there are a few batch renaming programs that can help for large numbers of images (I use a random number batch program on my gallery images) - I dunno exactly how you'd batch sort by date though; - the programmer way would be to convert their creation dates into UNIX epochs and use that as the name :tongue:
