[HOWTO] let a registred member upload in any album ?

[MisterJAD]

I would like to do that, just as if he was anonymous but he is a registered member... does s.o. know how? (and please dont tell me : no it isnt possible :s)

when logged in as admin, go to groups and set "Can upload pictures" for the registered group to "yes". You'll then have to click on "properties" next to each album thumbnail in category view and set "Visitors can upload pictures" to yes (this has to be done for each album).
If you feel comfortable with phpMyAdmin, you could as well enter the query

Code Select Expand

UPDATE `cpg11d_albums` SET `uploads` = 'YES';to change all albums in one go.

thx a lot, but it isn't what i meant...
In this case, any visitor could upload a pict, i would prefer that just members could upload....
Btw, if you're interested i found a site that explain how to use a mail() function on free.fr servers Protomail [Fr]

If you don't want to grant upload permissions to all registered users, but only to a certain group, create that particular group (in groups manager), assign upload rights to the group and add the users you want to that very group.

Mmm, i think i'll assign who i want as admin and the others wont have the right to upload...
btw, it's a pitty that rights aren't like a scale i mean :

Adim     111
  |
  |
Member 011
  |
  |
Visitor    001
  |
  |
Banned  000

for example, if an album is set to 'view for members' members and admin would see it cuz admin has the same rights than member plus others...

[Joachim Müller]

yeah, whatever...
It's a pity that wishfull thinking isn't actual source code one could use... :wink: You're not the first to request this feature.
Making users admin is not recommended at all - I have already told you how you can let them upload (without admin privileges). Please read the posts carefully, read the documentation that comes with coppermine, search the board etc. before posting stuff that has been answered a thousand times.

Like gaugau, I don't understand your problem.

Setting 'visitors can upload' in the album settings does not allow anyone to upload, just those who are members of groups who have upload permissions.
