help please Visitors profile

[LuisMartins]

hey guys, i am glad i came across this forum. I am building a website on which i want to let my visitors create their profiles and upload photos to it and make it available for others to browse also. Unfortunatly the Hosting company i have it does not have that option. My question is...will "coppermine" let me do that ??
Can someone help me out please ?? Thank you ever so much

Not sure what you mean. Using coppermine, you can allow your users to have personal galleries and upload picture to those personal galleries. Other visitors can browse those galleries. If this is what you're up to, then you can use coppermine for your purposes. For details, please check the demo and read the documentation. If you want to test-drive it first, use the Coppermine Live-Demo

[LuisMartins]

yes, i was actualy looking for visitors to add a profile also. but it's really good what u told me tho.they can add pics to photo gallery but, can their each have their own gallery  ? So that people can browse my the name?
Can their upload X-rated adult photos ?
and last thing, can they message people ?
I know its alot of questions , but i have been  looking for some program to do this for awhile and i wanna move on and finish my website.
You were really fast replying, i really appreciate that.
Thank you so much, hope to hear from you soon again "hopefully with good news"

Thanks Again,

Luis Martins

Yes, people can browse by name.

Coppermine doesn't know the content of the images. It's up to you to figure out whether your host and country/state allows hosting of x-rated content.

The gallery doesn't come with a messaging system. You can bridge it with a forum/cms that does, or implement a hack that would add such a system to the gallery.

thank you so much, well i already have a chat room in there so i think would work. Is it difficult to setup to my website?
and....does it have banners?
thanks

[Joachim Müller]

Yes, you can add banners. Yes, you can integrate it into your site. Can't say if it's difficult or not - depends on your skills. Please read the documentation.

[LuisMartins]

thank you very much. i am working on it right now. My question was, "this one is free, right ? ", so i wonder if i will have banners with it, advertisements and stuff that i don't need ?? And will i have problems with website memory ??
Thanks again for the fast reply

i am having a problem with the program . I downloaded , unpacked it but when i open the folder to upload to my page i can't get to the Ipswitch ?? I dont see a folder to install Coppermine . Is that normal to happen.
Thanks again fro all your help

[LuisMartins]

i am using ipswitch ws_ftp pro "trial version" for it, but i can't get it to work. it says " unimplemented failure" all the time.
What other way can i get this to work?
thank you

Try a different FTP client.

[LuisMartins]

yeah, i have tried that, maybe i am doing something wrong ??
i followed the tutorial but i dunno. Something ain't right.
Is there any other tutorial i can look at ?
And, what ftp would u recommend me to use ?
I have put under "site name", my website name
Under isp.....i have put embarq.com
do i need to put my website somewhere ?
Thanks again. I am new doing this thing, but i am getting there, with your help. Thank you so much

[LuisMartins]

here is what i did step by step :
i downloaded cpg1.4.10, i unpacked it to my "homestead folder" local disc/Program Files/Homestead, and renamed it "Coppermine"
I downloaded IPSwitch WS_FTP Pro trial version.
Opened it, and followed setup instructions.
Site name " i put my website title, server address " i put embarq.com"
then i browsed for the Coppermine folder to tranfer and that's when i get the error failure

"Program files" definitely is not the proper path to install coppermine in. Please read the documentation and review the tutorials.
