My template is configured with
Theme: default
Gallery style: Thumbnails
Pagination: Show thumbnails in a single page
Auto sort: By date taken (if available)

When I create a new album using the template, the pagination and auto sort fields don't get set and remain with default values.

This creates the album but doesn't set the style properly:

https://api.smugmug.com/services/api/rest/1.2.2/?method=smugmug.albums.create&Title=TestAblumServices&CategoryID=1186276&AlbumTemplateID=298622&SessionID=xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This request I pulled out from the source code of Digikam's kipi plugins, and it works nicely:

https://api.smugmug.com/hack/rest/1.2.0/?method=smugmug.albums.create&Title=TestAblumHack&CategoryID=1186276&AlbumTemplateID=298622&SessionID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What is https://api.smugmug.com/hack/ ? An old API address? Or a development version of the API? Anyway, it looks like this is broken in 1.2.2. I couldn't try 1.3.0, since it doesn't accept the templates at all, as described in my other post.

G'day Marek,

I just created this album in your account using API 1.2.2 and that AlbumTemplate without a problem.

Cheers,

David

Hi devbobo,

Thanks for looking into this.

The album you created shows the following settings:
Pagination: Viewer Controlled
Auto sort: None

If I reapply the template from the web interface, I get the correct values:
Pagination: Show thumbnails in a single page
Auto sort: By date taken (if available)

Thanks

This bug is still not fixed.

I created a template with the following settings:
Pagination: Show thumbnails in a single page
Auto sort: By filenames

I create an album through the API and apply this template, which results in:
Pagination: Viewer Controlled
Auto sort: None

I then apply the same template to the same album, but through the web interface:
Pagination: Show thumbnails in a single page
Auto sort: By filenames

Do you have the details of the template that you are applying ? AlbumTemplateID ? So I can take a look ?
