Views Gallery OG (admin/settings/views_gallery_og) provides a "Create Galleries" button that automatically creates a gallery for each existing group. If this button is pressed when there are multiple new groups queued up, the module automatically creates galleries all with the same name as the gallery for the first group. Also, workflow defaults for the gallery content type are ignored when the galleries are created.

Steps I use to reproduce this defect in my environment:

  • create three groups named GROUP1, GROUP2 and GROUP3. (My site is configured for fully private groups - not sure if this is part of the issue)
  • Ensure the workflow options for the gallery content type are all unchecked except for "Published".
  • Go to: admin/settings/views_gallery_og. With "Make-Galleries Public => No" and "Unique Galleries => Yes", press the "Create Galleries" button.
  • Note the follow-up web notification at the top of the screen saying that all three galleries were created with unique names
  • Go to content_management/content/list. Notice that the three new galleries all have the same name (contrary to the web notification.) Although misnamed, the three galleries are correctly associated to the three different groups.
  • Also notice that the galleries are posted to the front page even though the workflow defaults were set not for this to happen.

It is difficult for me in my hosting situation to have a second installation of Drupal to test this sequence in a stock/standard Drupal install, so not sure if this defect can be duplicated in a clean install.

I classified this defect MAJOR due to the fact that in my situation the group name for a private group is shown to another private group, effectively making private information public.

subscribe +1. I have a similar problem. Unique Galleries option don't working. Every click, create new galleries for all groups.

Is there a solution?

The 'unique' setting is not to create unique names, it is asking if you only want to create a new gallery if there is not already one created. The description does not say the names will be unique.

Try moving to the 6.2 version. Lots more work has been done there and 6.1 is being deprecated.

The automatic promotion to front page is a bug, fixed in 6.2.
