Upload permission in albums on group basis

I think I'm having trouble configuring this mod correctly. I think I installed it properly and I successfully ran the DB Query before I ever started.

I created my custom groups and I am able to assign a user to a group. However, when I create a category, for "category owner" choices I am given the user names, not the group names. Am I able to make a "group" the owner?

Also, when I'm in the album view and I click "view assigned albums" I receive a message, "This group has no special access" but I can't figure out where to assign albums to a group. I want everyone to be able to view them but only certain groups to be able to upload.

Are these things possible with this mod or am I misunderstanding. I'd love to use the bridge manager (for phpbb 2.0.22) but since I have special groups there, it seems to get even more confused!

Thanks in advance for any help!

I think you are mixing up this mod with other permissions.

This mod won't control who will see what. Neither will it control anything related to categories. It will just allow a group (users of a group) to upload to a particular album. To control which group can upload, go to album properties page and from there select the group.

Hi, I think I did everything, but I don't see the options on where to assign a group to an album so let me see

I added the column to the table running this:
ALTER TABLE `cpg1410_albums` ADD `upload_group` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL 

Then I extracted the files from the zip into the coppermine folder.

Now I can't find any option different from what I had before, I looked inside Categories, Album list, but nothing. Could it be because of the theme I'm using? o_O

I would appreciate any help you guys could provide to me, thanks!

Abbas Ali

Go to album properties page to see the option.

I'm getting the same options as before, nothing that says groups or a different field.  ???

You probably didn't do the theme related modifications properly. Instead of replacing the files try to apply the mod manually as explained in the first post.

I just tried that, I can not find the option... Is it supposed to be where you set the password for an album, set if visitors can or not upload to it?

yes

it is not :(

would you mind looking at the code/tables on my gallery? I'm 100% I did everything right... I'm not using the default theme, I'm using i-feel-dirty, which seems to cause some other issues... like not showing the album list on the main page, but that would be unrelated to this...

I'm out of ideas, thanks for your help
