Title: user albums in categories?
Post by: fstop on September 23, 2005, 12:07:32 PM
I have created a few categories, When a user creates an album, they can't pick a category, everything goes to User Gallery.  IS that the way it works or am i overlooig something in the docs?

Users can only create albums inside the user galleries category. Then can upload to existing public albums if you allow it.

Okay, thanks.  Perhaps I'm not understanding the nature of this type of software but if I create categoories, what's the point in having categories if people can't create albums in them?  ???  For example, the holiday season is coming up.  I created a category, Holiday Albums, for people to create seasonal/holiday albums of photos and artwork.  But people can't create albums in the category so I guess that's what has me confused since what's the point of having the category if it can't be used by the site's users for thei respective albums?  Everything instead gets lumped in under User Gallery?  Sorry to sound so dense, obviously I'm not understanding something.  :)

Users cannot create public albums - they can only create private albums.  You can create public albums and then allow users to upload into them.
