New to this. How to allow uploads.

[Innerpeace]

I'm not sure how to upload or use coppermine.  I want to use it as a clan screenshots viewer for games.

Read the documentation - it covers how to install Coppermine.  The link is at the top of this page.

You cannot integrate Coppermine with nuke.  There is no current port of Coppermine that works with nuke.  I believe there is a website that still has the last known working port available; there's a post about it somewhere around here.  However, using those outdated versions isn't really recommended.

cpg1.3.2 standalone is already installed on http://clank9.crossfiregaming.com/screenshots - you should upgrade to the most recent stable cpg1.3.5 for security reasons asap.
You allow uploads in two places: the groups page and then by individual public album using "album properties" next to the album thumbnail. As kegobeer  pointed out: this is being covered in the docs that come with coppermine. However, your custom theme lacks the "upload" button - it is there if you use the classic theme: http://www.clank9.crossfiregaming.com/screenshots/index.php?theme=classic
Zip your custom theme.php file and attach it to your posting. Additionally, you haven't set permissions as suggested for the albums folder as suggested in the docs: you'll have to CHMOD to 777 or 755 (depending on your server config). When I created a personal album and then went to the upload screen, this is the error message I got:

Failed to create directory albums/userpics/10003 !

File: /home/clank9/public_html/screenshots/db_input.php - Line: 228


Warning: mkdir(albums/userpics/10003): Permission denied in /home/clank9/public_html/screenshots/db_input.php on line 227

So basically, you have several issues:

• folder permissions not set
  
• theme lacks upload link
  
• public albums not set up to allow uploads
  
• coppermine version outdated

This comes from doing several things at once: when installing coppermine, make sure to get the basic features working before addressing theme modifications.
