Mark... can you walk me through how you did that? From a user perspective I can only see how to upload 5 photos using the camera icon (above left) or the 'image' icon in the advanced editor which seems to do it one by one.

thx

Needs a file edit.

First, change the usergroup permission "Maximum Attachments per Post" to 20. Needs doing for each usergroup.
Then change the same permission in Channel Management > Channel Permissions. Change it on the forum channel and it should cascade down, unless you've customised any lower down the tree.

Then, find the file: core/vb/library/content/gallery.php

Find both instances of this:

$contentInfo[$node]['photopreview'] = ($contentInfo[$node]['photocount'] > 3) ? array_slice($contentInfo[$node]['photo'], 0, 3) : $contentInfo[$node]['photo']; 

Change to:

$contentInfo[$node]['photopreview'] = ($contentInfo[$node]['photocount'] > 20) ? array_slice($contentInfo[$node]['photo'], 0, 20) : $contentInfo[$node]['photo'];

Mark.B - Many thanks... that was very helpful

Mark.B Sorry... follow up question. Why 20? Is there any reason why the site's default is just 5 photos? (performance?). Will upping this to 20 (or more) have a performance impact? Thx

hkjacko no it shouldn't impact performance. It's just a hard coded limit, I am not sure why it's there. There's a bug report somewhere to have it changed to respect the admincp settings as it should do.

I chose 20 as it was just a better number to use if you want to create a Gallery like I've done.

Mark.B Thx again
