Title: [Solved]: Problems accessing albums in admin mode
Post by: Lumac on August 24, 2004, 09:51:20 PM
I am running the 1.2.1 version and have encountered a problem. Earlier I have successfully created to albums which show up just fine. However, when I try to move these albums into categories I run into problems.

When I am in admin mode, and looking at the Album list, no albums show up. It only says "2 albums on 1 page(s)", but there are no links or thumbnails to the albums themselves. Underneath the "Random pictures" and "Last additions" thumbnails show up as usual. This does only occur when I am logged in as admin. If i try with an registered user account, I can see the album links.

As far as I understand, the only way to move an album into another category is by accessing them through the admin mode. So what am I doing wrong? I am pretty sure that the albums were listed earlier when I accessed it throuh admin mode.

I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find any relevant information. If this has been brought up earlier, please refer me to that thread.

Thanks!

Please do not pm for support, unless asked to do so.

As your gallery is password protected, yes, set up an admin account and pm it to me.

OK, your problems are caused by a known bug in version 1.2 that prevented admin seeing certain restricted albums.

I removed the restriction to who can view, so you can see and edit these albums.

This has been fixed, and the easiest way for you to cure this and allow albums to be fully configurable for the admin, upgrade to version 1.3.2.  This is very easy.

Thank you very much for your help! I will look into upgrading into the newest version. I am a newbie when it comes to these things, and only installed the program by clicking on a link at my webhotel in the first place. But hopefully I can manage to upgrade. :)

Upgrading is very easy.  Just download the zip file from the downloads section, then unzip it on your pc.
Make a copy of your include/config.inc.php and include/install.lock files which are on your server.
Then just upload all the new files to replace the old ones, make sure the 2 files above are still in the include folder, if not put the copies there.
Then just browse to www.yoursite.com/copperminefolder/update.php
That's it.
