Error in settings for FAQ in english.php

[Makc666]

There was already a talk about a part of these questions here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=8815.msg45430#msg45430

There was a good reply by TranzNDance in that topic here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=8815.msg46167#msg46167

So. I thought a little and understood that.
These parts of code:

array('How do I create, rename or delete an album in &quot;My Gallery&quot;?', 'You should already be in &quot;Admin-Mode&quot;<br />Go to &quot;Create/Order My Albums&quot;and click &quot;New&quot;. Change &quot;New Album&quot; to your desired name.<br />You can also rename any of the albums in your gallery.<br />Click &quot;Apply Modifications&quot;.', 'allow_private_albums', 0),
  array('How can I modify and restrict users from viewing my albums?', 'You should already be in &quot;Admin Mode&quot;<br />Go to &quot;Modify My Albums. On the &quot;Update Album&quot; bar, select the album that you want to modify.<br />Here, you can change the name, description, thumbnail picture, restrict viewing and comment/rating permissions.<br />Click &quot;Update Album&quot;.', 'allow_private_albums', 0),
  array('How can I view other users\' galleries?', 'Go to &quot;Album List&quot; and select &quot;User Galleries&quot;.', 'allow_private_albums', 0),

array('What\'s the difference between &quot;Admin Mode&quot; and &quot;User Mode&quot;?', 'This feature, when in admin-mode, allows a user to modify their gallery (as well as others if allowed by the administrator).', 'allow_private_albums', 0),

array('How do I upload a file?', 'Go to &quot;Upload&quot;and select the album that you want to upload to. Click &quot;Browse,&quot; find the file to upload, and click &quot;open.&quot; Add a title and description if you want. Click &quot;Submit&quot;.<br /><br />Alternatively, for those users using <b>Windows XP</b>, you can upload multiple files directly to your own private albums using the XP Publishing wizard.<br />For instructions on how, and to get the required registry file, click <a href="xp_publish.php">here.</a>', 'allow_private_albums', 1), //cpg1.4

must have not 'allow_private_albums' but 'allow_user_registration'.
and they must be set to 1
Like this: 'allow_user_registration', 1 or 'allow_user_registration', '1' (don't know what it the correct one - with '1' or with out them.

The code:

array('Where do I upload a picture to?', 'You will be able to upload a file to one of your albums in &quot;My Gallery&quot;. The Administrator may also allow you to upload a file to one or more of the albums in the Main Gallery.', 'allow_private_albums', 0),

Must be changed to:

array('Where do I upload a picture to?', 'You will be able to upload a file to one of your albums in &quot;My Gallery&quot;. The Administrator may also allow you to upload a file to one or more of the albums in the Main Gallery.', 'allow_private_albums', 1),

You're right in some aspects and wrong in others. Basically, I removed

Code Select Expand

  array('What\'s the difference between "Admin Mode" and "User Mode"?', 'This feature, when in admin-mode, allows a user to modify their gallery (as well as others if allowed by the administrator).', 'allow_private_albums', 0),, as it doesn't apply to cpg1.4.0 or better any more. Marking as fixed.

I'd like to comment on this:

I have a board where allow_private_albums is set to 1. Users are able to upload only to their personal galleries. My users can read noting about uploading and managing albums in the FAQ but they are able to that kind of stuff in their personal galleries.

I think the upload and album-management specific topics in the faq should be matched against the user right to upload or to do album management, not on the right to have a personal gallery.

Maybe I may suggest a modification to the FAQ system that involves the principle I mentioned in the post above: check if the FAQ item is applicable to the person using it and decide on that check to display the item or not. This modification involves modding each and every lang file so I make the the proposition here first to see what you think of it:

faq.php: if ($CONFIG[$element[2]] == $element[3]) ==> if ($element[2] == $element[3]):

Code Select Expand


foreach($lang_faq_data as $element) {
  if ((is_array($element))) {
// Mod Start: pass the right variable by reference
//     if ($CONFIG[$element[2]] == $element[3]) {
     if ($element[2] == $element[3]) {
// Mod End: pass the right variable by reference
       $anchorName = createAnchorName($element[0]);
       $faqHeading .= '<ul style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><li><a href="#'.$anchorName.'">'.$element[0].'</a></li></ul>';
       $faqContent .= '<tr><td class="tablef"><i>'.$lang_faq_php['question'].'</i><a name="'.$anchorName.'"></a><b>'.$element[0].'</b></td></tr><tr><td class="tableb"><i>'.$lang_faq_php['answer'].'</i>'.$element[1].'<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /></td></tr>';
     }
  }
  else {
      $anchorName = createAnchorName($element);
      $faqHeading .=  '<h2><a href="#'.$anchorName.'">'.$element.'</a></h2>';
      $faqContent .=  '<tr><td class="tableh1"><a name="'.$anchorName.'"></a><h2>'.$element.'</h2></td></tr>';
  }
}
$faqHeading .= '';

I use referencing because it resembles the original method the most but I think you can also just use the appropriate variable instead of refences.

If you great & mighty devs agree with me I can make the change to each and every lang file if you wish (but that would take some days).
