Filename ⇒ File title - ONLY rename those without a title...?

[ashsimmonds]

i assume this shouldn't be too difficult... i would like to have it so that when i run a batch command from the Admin Tools which updates File Titles to whatever the FileName is, that it ONLY updates those where a title doesn't exist.

i *almost* pressed the button on my whole gallery before i thought of this, so i tested on a single album and found that this tool overwrites existing Titles, would rather not do that.

util.php, change

Code Select Expand

$query = cpg_db_query("UPDATE {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} SET title = '$newtitle' WHERE pid = '$pid'");

Code Select Expand

$query = cpg_db_query("UPDATE {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} SET title = '$newtitle' WHERE pid = '$pid' AND title = ''");

excellent!  thankyou very much.

fwiw, i think this should be standard behaviour.

also, it still lists all the files *as if* it changed them, but doesn't change them.  probly easy enough to fix but it werks good enough for me for now.

You're right: I've added this to the todo list of the dev team (provide a checkbox that is labelled something like "only apply this if the file name field is empty" or similar and apply the needed code changes).
