always in admin mode

[till]

The admin mode is for my users the most mis understood feature. I have too many support requests that sound like, "my account is validated, but I can't upload any pictures or create any albums" and so on. Now in 100% of those cases the people didn't click on admin mode, and I can't really blame them.

So anyway, is it possible to make logged in users always browse the galleries in admin mode? I couldn't find a setting, maybe I overlooked something.

Thanks for your help,
Till

Changed in 1.4, no plans to reverse engineer for 1.3.x.

Thanks for all the replies, guys.

@Gaugau: I know this disables the links so users won't be able to change the modes, but how do I set the the user to be in admin mode, when he logs in?

Thanks,

new users will be in admin mode by default. Cpg1.4.x sets all users into admin mode, but as suggested above: there will be no backport. Just disable the user mode link, leave the admin mode link visible to give them the opportunity to go back into admin mode.

Ok, thanks for the info. Great suggestion, btw.

Looking forward to 1.4 then.
