Hyphen Method Of Passcoding Photos

Hi Tim, just checking, using the hyphen method of passcoding photos. I just tried and couldn't get this working in uploaded sub galleries. Have had to go back to putting it all in one folder. 'find my photos' was picking up the images in the first subfolder and then stopping. Should it work for sub folders or do the images all have to been in the same folder?

Do the images that are in different subfolders have the same passcode?  If so, I believe the system will only display the images that match that passcode in the first sub-folder. 

I use different subfolders extensively, and my passcodes work perfectly.  But images with the same passcode are never distributed over different folders, subfolders or galleries.

We use folders to assign pricing to products. ie cetain products are only offered at certain sizes and price points. So we have specific pricelists pe rproduct. Otherwize we have to add a suffix in the filename (that determines product) search that suffix and then assign pricing within the one folder. It also stops them from overwritting other files with the same passcode.

You will have to put them all in one gallery. WHen it finds a photo it directs to the sub gallery it is in and then just show the photos with the same passcode in that sub gallery.

You can override the price list of individual photos.

Hey Tim thanks for the response 

Are you able to explain that for me? - reading the above I reckon I have misunderstood it. I load the photos into one directory. Then have sub folders of each child/passcode

Doe sthat mean
images [folder] 3000 files (which includes the below files)

-A3210- [one of many sub folders]

portrait-A3210-
team photo -A3210-
buddy photo -A3210-
Team&portrait-A3210-

I reckon I am missing something - how does the system find the subfolders - I noticed there was an excel sheet in one of the other methods

Currently I am using - all in the one directory
kids_name-A3210-^team
kids_name-A3210-^port
kids_name-A3210-^tnp
kids_name-A3210-^poster

Searching ^team, then manually selecting, then assigning price as you mentioned. (A select all from a search would be awesome and make this much easier.)

I currently duplicate the group photo with each kids code on it. If you use -group- am I correct in presuming every group will come up? eg Bobs Photos, Bobs Class and ten others.

Thanks for your patience and efforts to explain this

When someone enters a passcode it searches in the gallery and sub galleries  for photos.

When it finds a photo in a sub gallery it directs to that sub gallery  and then only shows the photos with the same passcode in that sub gallery.

So the sub folders will not work in your situation.

Thanks Tim, is my assumption about the group photo above correct

I  belive so but you will need to test it out.
