revealing empty user albums

[Bubble]

i just upgrade from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3 and there is one new cat just created by itself.

http://www.zmodified.com/gallery/index.php

you will see a new cat as:

User galleries
This category contains albums that belong to Coppermine users.

it show 1 album but when you click to it, nothing show up and i can't seem to delete that cat.

http://www.zmodified.com/gallery/index.php?cat=1

Any idea? Thanks

not a bug, but expected behaviour. Empty the user galleries and make sure users can't create new one to stop this "special" category from appearing.

hi,

is there a way for me to remove that cat completely? it didn't look nice to have one empty cat display in the main index page.

Delete the album inside it and it will not be displayed.

hmmm... I tried to delete a user album on my local installation and couldn't find a way to do it. The albums list doesn't include the user album. I couldn't find info in the docs on how to delete a user's album.

So I searched the forums and came across this: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=15613.msg91208#msg91208

Where he said, "album list", use Parent Category.

Sounds like the administration of user albums needs some improvemement. Thanks for the search+link TND. New avatar btw? A bit Leia-ish, nice

Edit: heh, when I posted I noticed it's a random script.

Would adding a link in the Album Manager to modifyalb.php, using an existing language string, be considered a new feature? Is there another way to make it easier to access user albums?

[Nibbler]

We could make empty user albums be displayed instead of hidden.

[Tranz]

That would help. It would be much less confusing.

tried but still couldn't delete it. Weird.

in addition, even if i create new album under that cat, it still not show at all. why we have this in 1.4.3 ? As of now, you see i have 2 album in there but nothing show up. On thing i see is that they have *name of cat*  so i don't know if  the * meaning hidden?

i didn't create the *my gallery *  they are just there by itself.

I know it's 1.3x, that's why I modified the instructions for 1.4x.

[Bubble]

humm...so i wait for the new instruction to be posted?

[Nibbler]

udb_base.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand

        $sql .= " INNER JOIN {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS pics ON pics.aid = p.aid ";

change to

Code Select Expand

        $sql .= " LEFT JOIN {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS pics ON pics.aid = p.aid ";

find

Code Select Expand

$sql .= "INNER JOIN {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p ON p.aid = a.aid ";

change to

Code Select Expand

$sql .= "LEFT JOIN {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p ON p.aid = a.aid ";

That will allow the empty albums to be displayed in the user galleries section.

[Bubble]

in which folder udb_base.inc.php locate at? can't seem to find it.
