Moving user galleries into categories (and hence making public)?

[Lowri]

Is this possible? I want to get rid of the user galleries and allow my users to upload to public albums to avoid have several albums of the same event.

Lowri,

Stramm has a mod that is not quite what you are looking for but it may possible work for you.   Follow this thread to see what I mean.

if you're not afraid of working with phpmyadmin then it's possible. If you have to many albums to change it can be pain

so here's what to do (!!!!! make a backup of your database before you mess with it)

1. have a look at your coppermine categories table. In here you'll see the categories desciption and the 'cid'. Write it down
2. click coppermine albums. You'll see all albums, it's titles and the category. If the category is greater than 10000 it's a user gallery. Check in which category it may fit best and replace the album category with the cid of the category you've chosen (in 1.)

I hope this isn't to confusing... if you have no clue what I'm talking about let it be

Good luck

cheers guys, that sounds pretty logical. The only other way i'd thought would be to delete the usergalleries and batch upload this pictures from backup. Will try the database method. Thanks.
