Hi. Is there a way to find a user's gallery?
Because in the gallery URL, there are no names, only numbers.
Comments
I don't believe so, unfortunately. The search on the gallery page only searches the store and trying to use google didn't really help. Also the gallery user_id does not appear to relate to the forum user_id.
I think the only way would be to PM the user and ask for their gallery link maybe?
...hard to believe but true...so in my book, useless
You can generally find a specific user's gallery by Google searching for site:daz3d.com/gallery and then their name. Just type that into the search box. The : symbol is important. E.g. site:daz3d.com/gallery SofaCitizen has SofaCitizen's gallery in the results (at least for me. They may vary), though not as the first result (which is why I'm using them as an example). https://www.google.com/search?q=site:daz3d.com/gallery+SofaCitizen
I did try a few variations on a google site search but I guess I didn't do a very good job :( Although, for me, it only has a hit rate of 50% out of the commentors of this thread as I could only find mine and Rafael's Galleries using your link. Not sure if the other two of you have no gallery or they just don't come up in Google for another reason.
I haven't got one! That's why it doesn't show up in a Google search. :)
Easiest way is the use the "inurl:"-boolean search with google, like this: inurl:www.daz3d.com/gallery/user ARTISTNAME. So for me it would be "inurl:www.daz3d.com/gallery/user bluefingers", this should come back with one result that would direct you to the main gallery page of the user you are looking for.
Ok. Thank you guys for the feedback.
It would be a to-do for the website developers.
