That’s way too many images for the javascript to parse into one table. Your browser is crashing because the ram it takes to put 1500 rows in a sortable data table is immense. You’ll have to split them up into multiple folders and turn on directory navigation. Or use a list rather than a table.
I appreciate the quick reply but I have set it to show only 30 images per page. That still doesn’t do it?
This should be an important note added to the plugin’s description that there is a limited number of images you can put in a folder and also big images don’t generate any thumbnails. Knowing this helps on deciding if a plugin works for our purpose.
Anyway, I am trying the list view but again for some reason the shortcode generator doesn’t work the way it should.
I select “Directory Files” and then “Sorted List” plus enabling some other features. When I click the insert button, all I get is [fileaway base=”3″]
Could you please provide me with the correct shortcode. Is there any documentation to manually create the shortcode and its other parameters without using the admin generator button?
Please help me find a solution
Thank you!
No. 30 per page is just giving the javascript more work to do. All 1500 are in the table, but only 30 at a time are visible.
Ok, So how should I get the list working instead?
Remove type=table from your shortcode for starters. Or put them in multiple directories and use a directories=true table.
That’s what I did but it doesn’t add the base directory I select and as a result it picks a random folder which is empty I can’t change the directory structure.
Also if I want to put it in multiple directories, How many are allowed in one so I know the number of directories I need. That’s not a sood solution.
Do what you want to do. Putting 1500 rows in a javascript-powered table is not going to work in any situation.
Show me your shortcode so i can help you figure out your base directory issue.
[fileaway base=1]
[fileaway base=2]
[fileaway base=3]
[fileaway base=4]
[fileaway base=5]
Those are your base directory options.
This is the last working shortcode I have until I uploaded my images.
[fileaway type=”table” base=”3″ paginate=”true” pagesize=”30″ searchlabel=”Search” filenamelabel=”Name” mod=”no” bulkdownload=”on” directories=”on” thumbnails=”permanent” thumbstyle=”widesharp” graythumbs=”true”]
You cant have thumbnails in a list. So I’d recommend moving your files into subdirectories of about 200 each max if you want to keep thumbnails.
If you want to do a list, then:
[fileaway base=3 mod=no]
There are copious tutorials on the tutorials tab of the settings page.
If you can find a plugin that does what you need better than mine does, that works too.
Or, like the majority of users, you can not load over a thousand files into a single page, but split them up into categorized directories, which is more user friendly for your visitors anyway. And it’s not a limitation of File Away that we can’t generate thumbnails from super hi-res images. That’s a limitation of by far the best image-manipulation library php has to offer.
I will try this and will also look at the tutorials. thank you.
Alright I tried different things and looked at the tutorials.
I split the directories and it works but It is super slow every time you click a directory to get in. Looks like the table method is not a good choice.
I am trying the file list which is super fast. But I cannot figure out how to add the search function on the list.
Any idea?
Thanks
Give me a couple hours. I’m working on something for you.
