- Hello, I recently had to reinstall my website because it was compromised. I have installed from my original files Lexicon 1.1, Gantry 4.1.24 on Joomla 3.3.1. After doing a full clean install I used my database backup file from several months ago to update the site. Everything works fine and my site is up to date except for one problem, no galleries. I had several hundred photos throughout many galleries on the site. I have all of my backup files but I can't find anything to do with images for Rokgallery. I assumed they were stored somewhere that I could retrieve them like I did the main Joomla image folder. I assumed that everything would also be in the database backup. Can you please tell me what folders I am looking for to find my photos rebuild my galleries? They took many months to assemble and I surely am hoping I don't have to start over. I always thought my backups of files and databases would prevent a problem like this. Thank you.

The indexing of the files is stored in the database in the rokgallery tables.
The files themselves are stored in /media/rokgallery/ - they obviously need to be in sync...

- Hello and thank you for your reply. In my database backup it's all there such as _rokgallery_slices_index showing 2000+ rows. However, when I go to media/ in my backup files I can find nothing for rokgallery. Any ideas? I do daily backups and I have gone back 30 days and can't find anything to do with rokgallery. This was an issue I came across once before. I was trying to find where the images were stored and searched every folder and could find no rokgallery anywhere, not even in components, plugins, libraries... nowhere. This is true with my latest install also. There is no rokgallery anywhere that I can find yet it is installed and working fine.

The location that I gave you is correct. That is where the images are stored. Please see my screenshot of a cerulean template (which uses rokgallery) - as you can see the rokgallery files are present in there. If you have another site where rokgallery is installed and working Please would you post your URL, superuser id and pswd in the secure tab of your post. Also, Please post your FTP logon, password and FTP URL in the secure area of your post.
