How do I disallow users from being able to delete their pics?

[EliteRides]

I searched, I promise.  I only came up with ways to delete things.

If you have some time I'll dig out again what I've done... not very difficult, just an if clause at some places

That would be greatly appreciated.

in delete.php find
   case 'picture':
and
    case 'album':

in the line below each delete

Code Select Expand

|| USER_ADMIN_MODE

then find

Code Select Expand

function delete_album($aid)
{

below add

Code Select Expand

    if (!(GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE)) return;

when a user's browsing the gallery in user admin mode he'll still see the delete picture/ album buttons. But he'll get a 'no permission' message when he's clicking it.
In the album manager the delete button is visible too. Here the user won't get an error message. The system just won't delete the album..
to delete the buttons you'd have to modify albmgr.php , either theme.php (template_album_admin_menu) or function html_albummenu (index.php) and function html_picture_menu (displayimage.php)

I haven't tested it but it should work

Is it possible to create a modification that allows toggling from the configuration settings page, or better, select/create a group for certain users, who when are placed into this new group, are given delete permissions?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
