Title: Removing upload permissions from one category and not another
Post by: riggsd on October 22, 2006, 10:00:37 AM
How do I remove upload permissions to a gallery without setting it to private?

I need to be able to allow registered users and guests to view a set of albums within a category but not be able to upload to that album, but still allow registered users to upload images to albums in another category.

For example, I have two categories, a monthly upload and a permanent gallery. Users upload images to the monthly galleries and when selected by the judges, images are moved to the permanent gallery. Only the admin should be able to move/add images to the permanent galleries.

In album properties, set "visitors can upload" to "no" for all albums that reside in "permanent galleries". Set it to "yes" for all other albums. Finally, allow uploads to public albums in coppermine's groups page.

A bit roundabout way to do it, but that works.

I'm assuming that I can use this method to remove upload permissions from the monthly galleries after the cutoff date - by setting allow visitors to upload to No for that gallery?
