Can't Upload to Any Gallery

[calord]

Tried doing a forum search on this.  No luck.

I am using my gallery bridged with vBulletin 3.6.  I previously also did this with SMF and had the same issue some time ago, but I don't remember how I got that resolved.  I vaguely remember having to manually shift some permissions around in the database to get this to work.  I don't see this option right now.

Anyway, my users can't upload anything.  The message they get is:

Error
Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload files

Actually, I get the same message when I leave Admin mode and go to User mode.  I do not understand where this comes from.  I have checked user permissions on coppermine and everyone has permission to upload.  I've looked at the settings for the album and I don't see anything that says members can't upload on them.

Yet i don't see anyone on these boards having this problem.  Where did I go wrong?

You get that message if you don't have any albums that allow visitor uploads in their album properties.

But I dont want visitors to upload.  Only grouped members.  Little confused....

...activating this box will still not allow "visitors" to upload?

[Nibbler]

The setting in album properties toggles upload rights globally to that album. You then allow upload rights to the various groups on the groups page. Users that are in a group that allows uploads can upload into any album taht allows uploads. Visitors means anyone who 'visits' the album, regardless of if they are a registered user or not.

You mustn't do that - never leave admin mode to check what regular users can do. From the documentation:

When you are in user mode you are still logged in as an admin user, but the admin controls (the admin menu bar etc.) are hidden from the screen to give you a basic preview of what the page would look like for "regular users". However (as you still are logged in as admin), certain permissions and options in user mode will still look the same as if you were in admin mode; you can not use "User Mode" to see what a non-admin user is actually allowed to see. To see what a casual visitor can see and do on your site, simply log out. To see what a registered user can see and do on your site, create a test user account (non-admin) and log in with this particular user (when doing this it is recommended that you use two different browsers, NOT two instances of the same browswer, to view your site so you can stay logged in as admin on one and view what regular users see while making changes in admin mode. You will have to refresh the non-admin mode screen to see what changes you incorporated).
