Dumb question alert...where are the pics?
« on: November 20, 2009, 07:44:40 pm »
I have to do a full re install of my forum and mods...

Where does Gallery Pro put images?  I have to reload GP also, if I just upload it will the imeages for each user still be there or do I need to back up an FTP file?

I am going this in the morning (SAT)

thanks and again sorry for the dumb question.

The picture files are stored in the "gallery" folder in the root directory of you forum.

The mod also adds database tables to your smf's database to store the gallery data.

So if I am removing all my files, I should keep the gallery folder on the FTP or does it matter since the data is on the DB?

You must keep the "gallery" folder otherwise all your images will be gone.
The database stores data like user comments on images, settings etc
