How to manage pictures in gig pics section through manage site section?

My website is almost complete. Thanks to you and your wonderful book!

Its 95% complete. Now I can manage reviews and genres through management section of the site. But I want to manage the content of the gig pics section too. How can I achieve it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

The pictures in the album are already manageable (that is, you can delete them and add new ones). If you want to manage the description of the album, you can set up a page similar to the Genre table in the Management section, but use the PhotoAlbum table instead. To manage the descriptions and tooltips of the pictures, you can add the respective controls to the Edit template of the ListView control and turn on Edit behavior. Chapter 13-15 have all the details.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks for you reply.

I have one more doubt. I just added one more feature to the website where each authorized user can post their own reviews on the desired Genre. How do I display uploader or user details on the reviews that they post just like we display the details of the user who uploads stuff to the gig pics section?

Hi there,

This would be very similar to how it's done with the albums. Add a UserName column to the Reviews table, insert the user's name when creating a new review, and display it along with the review details.

Cheers,
