Bridged Coppermine, Showing User Albums for ALL Registered Users

[pols1337]

Dear Andre

I was moving an album around, and clicked on "Edit Album Properties."  In the drop-down menu for "Album Categories," to showed me both the categories that I created (which is good  ) .... and hundreds of hundreds of user galleries (which is bad  :-\).  Please see picture.   

In my "Config" > "Registration" settings, "Create user album in personal gallery on registration" is disabled because Coppermine is bridged so the function is automatically disabled. 

Is there a way for me to purge Coppermine of these unused user galleries?

Open modifyalb.php, find

Code Select Expand

        $sql = $cpg_udb->get_admin_album_list();
       
        $result = cpg_db_query($sql);
       
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            print_r($row);
            // Add to multi-dim array for later sorting
            $rowset[] = array(
                'cat'   => $lang_modifyalb_php['user_gal'],
                'aid'   => $row['aid'],
                'title' => $row['title'],
            ); 
        }
       
        mysql_free_result($result);

and remove it completely.

Hi Andre,

I did what you told me to do, but when I checked, it still showed all the User Galleries.  Please see picture.

Please see attached for my modifyalb (saved a text document to attach)

Oops, my solution removed the user categories from the 'Choose album' box

Undo that change. Instead, find

Code Select Expand

    foreach ($CAT_LIST as $category) {
        echo '                <option value="' . $category[0] . '"' . ($ALBUM_DATA['category'] == $category[0] ? ' selected="selected"': '') . ">" . $category[1] . '</option>' . $LINEBREAK;
    }
and replace with

Code Select Expand

    foreach ($CAT_LIST as $category) {
        if ($category[0] == USER_GAL_CAT || $category[0] > FIRST_USER_CAT) continue;
        echo '                <option value="' . $category[0] . '"' . ($ALBUM_DATA['category'] == $category[0] ? ' selected="selected"': '') . ">" . $category[1] . '</option>' . $LINEBREAK;
    }

Yes, this works -- resolved.

I have a question though, is this because my CPG is bridged with SMF, or did I have a setting wrong or something?  How come it showed all of these user albums even though, in my Groups settings, I purposely put no user uploads.

No.

did I have a setting wrong

No.

How come it showed all of these user albums

What you see are user categories, not albums. You as admin might want to assign (move) some albums to a particular user. That's the reason why you see all available user names.
