Title: Member Albums! How to? URGENT!
Post by: amywinehouseforum.co.uk on July 10, 2007, 02:05:01 PM
Hello
I recently installed coppermine onto my forums and can't seem to be able to allow members to create their own albums! I've allowed User Galleries but there is no option to make an album as a member. Could someone please explain!!

Works as expected. I've created a test album and uploaded a pic. Please delete it again.

Why can't I see these options on User Mode?
and
Can other members upload images into other people's albums?

User mode is just for visual purpose to see what regular users can see, it doesn't works like that
read manual for more info :

Urm Sami, sorry: that's wrong! It is exactly NOT meant to be used to see what regular users can see. In fact, it just turns off admin controls, that's all. Permissions of the admin still apply even if he's in user-mode. Subsequently, you can't use it to see what non-admin users can do.
The only purpose of the user-mode toggle is to disable the admin controls. This is particulalrly helpfull during the design stage of your custom theme. There's hardly any other potential use for it (that's why I have voted to see it removed for good it future versions, but my suggestion was turned down by the dev team). We re-labelled the "admin mode" / "user mode" toggle in the current devel version: in cpg1.5.x, it will be named "Show admin controls" / "Hide admin controls" instead to make it more obvious for end user what it is suppossed to be used for (even for those who don't read the docs).
