Is there a way to turn off the automatic scan option?

No without editing main.php

No without editing main.php file.

Quite on the end of main.php you can find following code:

<?php
/*full-scanning directories evry 1 day*/
if($pa_setup["last_dir_scan"]<time()-24*60*60 && is_dir($pa_setup["album_dir"])){
    scan_photos_directories("");
    delete_old_ecards();
    delete_old_anitspam();
}
?>

if you delete the line "scan_photos_directories("");" it wont be scanned automatically.

how do you lower the scan to when somebody uploads a picture or every 10 minutes rather than stop it ? 24 hours is too long for me.

Thanks

If you want to scan the

If you want to scan the folders every ten minutes, you can change the code to:

<?php
/*full-scanning directories evry 10 minutes*/
if($pa_setup["last_dir_scan"]<time()-10*60 && is_dir($pa_setup["album_dir"])){
    scan_photos_directories("");
    delete_old_ecards();
    delete_old_anitspam();
}
?>

The "10*60" means the time between each scan in seconds, ie 10 minutes but pls be noted that high frequency of scan may increase the work load of the server.

I put the new code in but

Submitted by Dicko_md on Sat, 2008-03-22 13:07.

I put the new code in but its very slow at loading up even though I set it at 10 minutes.

Also I dont see the new photos appear after 10 minutes. When I check the gallery in the setup and I click on update database, the next time it says its to update/refresh is the actual time that I refreshed it even though I set it at 10*60 for 10 minutes.

Would there be any way of creating a button to refresh the database or an action after I upload my photos via uberload that refreshes the database ?

Thanks in advance

You can refresh/rescan

Submitted by patrik on Sat, 2008-03-22 16:58.

You can refresh/rescan photos in Setup->Galleries, or Setup->Pictures.

There is a link with which you can rescan photos.

I know that there is a link

Submitted by Dicko_md on Sat, 2008-03-22 20:51.

I know that there is a link within the setup but Id like to refresh the database everytime somebody uploads a picture. I am not bothered about a particular time or minutes. Just when a new picture is uploaded.

I have seen in one forum question that you can add a button to the main.php and let the user do it but when I tried to add it. it didnt work.

Does anyone have a main.php that already has this feature included and working that they could send me ?

Thanks

Dicko
