Unable to upload into other albums

[diva25]

Hi everyone,

I have 3 albums on the gallery that are available to members.

they have no problems uploading, but when it comes to choosing the album, they are unable to choose anyother one apart from their own...

So when they want to enter a competiton, and need to upload into the correct album they cant so they put it into their personal album and then pm through the forums to come and change it... But its a pain and i dont want to do this forever....

I have given permission in album and groups, but that obviously doesnt seem to be the problem...

Where to next....

[diva25]

Default mode for directories      0777
Default mode for files        0666


Is this correct reading the troubleshooting it should be 777 or 755

You need to allow uploads in album properties and on the groups page.

Settings for Public Album Uploads is Allowed Yes Approvel No

As for Album properties - i cant seem to find it?? A bit of direction please

I can see that but the actual permission are not at the bottom of the screen that shows in the link that you provided gau gau...

Maybe something went wrong in the installation???

I am having troubles logiging in to the gallery so i cant cut an image to show you what i see...

[diva25]

Where can i get some (paid) help in maybe reloading the whole gallery onto my site again...

Since those things that are in the manual that you posted dont seem to be on the website...

Thanks

Missing permissions section in album properties: you shouldn't have turned off Albums can be private. Turn it back on and the permission section will appear.
Paid support: there is a sub-board named Looking for Freelancers / Paid help where you can request paid support on particular coppermine issues, but there's no guarantee that there will be people who are ready to do so. The coppermine devs usually don't do paid support. Make sure to read the sticky thread "sub-board rules, read first!" before requesting paid support.

HI Gau Gau,

The problem is that there are no private albums i havent turned it off...

In the file and thumbnails advance settings..

Albums can be private :  No



But i still cant see all the permissions for the albums that you showed previously..



So there is a chance that the coppermine devs would do paid support??

I will read the rules and look at posting for some help

"No" means "turned off". Turn it on by setting it to "yes". You failed to read the section of the docs I refered to...
There's no point in doing such basic stuff for you, this is something you have to do and understand on your own. Wasting money for paid support for such a trivial task won't get you anywhere. However, you're free to start a paid support request and find out if someone is willing to make some money for nothing.

The problem is now Gau Gau, i have switched it from 'No' to 'yes' and that part still isnt showing up....

I cant change the permissions of my albums....

Please post a link to your gallery (and a non-admin test user account if needed to access it).

[diva25]

Here is the link

You have cpg1.4.2, which is very outdated. It's mandatory to upgrade to the most recent stable version (currently cpg1.4.8)!

[diva25]

So now i need to find some one to do the upgrade???

i guess i have to sit and wait for someone to answer my paid help post

Will this upgrade fix the problem i am having with the uploads or is it something else???

[Joachim Müller]

Why wait for someone else? If you a job to get done, you better do it yourself. Upgrading is pretty easy and self-explanatory. Follow the upgrading section in the docs.

I dont know how to let alone trust myself to do it...

I have never done anything remotely like this...

i dont understand folders etc....


Thanks tho

[Joachim Müller]

You have no idea what a "folder" is, yet you run your own web page? Astounding...

[diva25]

Gau Gau,

I dont have to know what one is, I just look after my shop and if i have problems i pay people to fix them...

Why do i need to know what they are...Or how to fix them....
