The invitation email was generating links to /admin/accept-invite/{token}
but the frontend route is configured at /invite/{token}. This caused
invited users to see a blank page when clicking the email link.
Fixes#129
Fixed inconsistent storage path fallbacks that caused 500 errors when
serving thumbnails. The paths were using '../../storage' (2 levels up)
instead of '../../../storage' (3 levels up) when STORAGE_PATH env var
is not set.
Affected files:
- backend/src/routes/gallery.js
- backend/src/services/photoService.js
- backend/src/services/eventService.js
Add global settings to make event_date and expiration optional when
creating galleries. This supports non-event use cases like portraits,
corporate shoots, etc.
New features:
- Settings toggles in Settings → Event Creation tab
- "Require event date" checkbox with warning about random URL identifiers
- "Require expiration date" checkbox with warning about manual archiving
- Galleries without date use random hex suffix in slug (e.g. portrait-smith-a1b2c3)
- Galleries without expiration never expire (stay active until archived)
Backend changes:
- New migration for settings and nullable columns
- Conditional validation based on settings
- Updated slug generation with random suffix fallback
- Updated expiration checker to skip null expires_at
- Updated gallery access control for null expiration
Frontend changes:

fingerprinting or watermarking is enabled
- Preserve original image format (PNG/WebP/JPEG) instead of always
converting to JPEG
- Fix SQLite migration failure for fresh installations by adding
multilingual columns to email_templates table before inserting
admin email templates
Fixes#95
The frontend expected `status.lastBackup` but the backend was returning
`status.lastRun`. This caused the backup dashboard to show "No backup available"
even when backups existed in the history.
Added:
- `lastBackup` as alias for `lastRun`
- `totalBackups` count of completed backups
- Manual backup button now works regardless of backup_enabled setting
- backup_enabled only controls scheduled/automated backups
- Manual backups only require destination to be configured
- Fixed backup_type to correctly show 'manual' vs 'scheduled'
- Increased max file size from 500MB to 10GB
- Created chunkedUploadService.js for managing chunked uploads
- Added chunked upload API endpoints (init, chunk, complete, status, abort)
- Added frontend chunked upload methods to photos.service.ts
- Files >100MB automatically use chunked uploads
- 10MB chunk size for reliable transfers
- Auto-cleanup of expired uploads after 24 hours
- Updated README with 10GB limit and nginx configuration example

#59/#56 - Gallery Layout & Apply Theme: Set isPreviewMode=true so theme changes
immediately propagate to parent state, hidden redundant Apply button
#58 - Feedback Icons Show When Disabled: Added feedbackEnabled check to comment
and like buttons in MasonryGalleryLayout and GridGalleryLayout
#57 - Upload Limit 100MB: Increased body parser limit from 100MB to 500MB to
support larger batch uploads
#54 - Wrong Error Message: Enhanced email error handling with specific error
codes and translation keys for better user feedback
- Fix#49: Add column existence checks to migration 011_add_user_upload_settings.js
to prevent "column already exists" errors during deployment
- Fix#50: Create missing workerManager.js file that starts background services
(file watcher and expiration checker) for native installations
This commit fixes the core bugs that prevented Reference mode from functioning:
1. Missing external_relpath Error (CRITICAL FIX)
- Root cause: photoResolver prioritized event.source_mode over photo.source_origin
- Problem: Events in "reference" mode with uploaded photos would fail
because uploaded photos have source_origin='managed' but were being
treated as external photos (requiring external_relpath)
- Fix: Prioritize photo.source_origin over event.source_mode
- Result: Events can now have MIXED sources - imported external photos
AND newly uploaded managed photos coexisting correctly
- File: backend/src/services/photoResolver.js:19
2. Category Assignment Failure (CRITICAL FIX)
- Root cause: Update endpoints modified category_id column but display
used photo.type field ('individual' or 'collage')
- Problem: Category changes appeared to succeed but had no visible effect
- Fix: When category_id is 'individual' or 'collage', update the type
field instead of category_id
- Result: Category assignments now work correctly for all photos
- Files: backend/src/routes/adminPhotos.js:489-497, 605-607
3. Scroll Button Non-Functional (UX FIX)
- Root cause: Scroll indicator was purely visual (no click handler)
- Problem: Users expected to click the animated chevron to scroll
- Fix: Convert div to button with smooth scroll to grid section
- Result: Scroll button now functions as expected with proper a11y
- File: frontend/src/components/gallery/layouts/HeroGalleryLayout.tsx:165-184
Technical Details:
Mixed Source Support:
The photoResolver now correctly handles events that mix:
- External photos: source_origin='external' + external_relpath set
- Uploaded photos: source_origin='managed' + path in storage/events/active
This allows users to start with external media import and later upload
additional photos without errors.
Category/Type Distinction:
The system uses photo.type ('individual'|'collage') for display but also
has a legacy category_id column. The update logic now handles both:
- String values 'individual'/'collage' → update type field
- Numeric values → update legacy category_id field (backward compat)
Notes on Remaining Issues:
Issue #30 also mentioned:
4. Image display (cropped square) - This is by design. Thumbnails use
fit='cover' by default for consistent grid layouts. Can be changed
via app_settings.thumbnail_fit if needed.
5. Theme application - The "Apply Theme" button updates the form state
correctly. Users need to click "Save Changes" to persist to database.
This is standard form behavior, not a bug.
Testing:
- Create event in reference mode with external media
- Upload new photos to the same event → verify no external_relpath error
- Change categories on both external and uploaded photos → verify changes apply
- Use Hero gallery layout → verify scroll button works
Fixes#30
