New user with question about logging in and uploading

[akaney]

I am new to Coppermine, but finding my way around fairly well.  Two questions that I have, and have not been able to find an answer on the boards are:

1.) I have coppermine set up to allow users to set up an account without e-mail varification.  Is there a way to immediatly log the user in after setting up an account, or, if that is not possible, a way to direct the user to a login screen rather than the front page?

2.) When a user uploads a file, is there a way to create an album after the photo is uploaded, rather than the user having to set up an album first and then uploading the pictures?

I have searched the forums, but have not been able to find the answers to these two questions.  Please don't flame me if they have obvious answers.

Thanks in advance.

Possible if you code it. Edit register.php (using a plain text editor), find

Code Select Expand

index.phpthat resides within several calls for the

Code Select Expand

msg_box-function and change it to login.php

2.) When a user uploads a file, is there a way to create an album after the photo is uploaded, rather than the user having to set up an album first and then uploading the pictures?

Has been added to the devel branch (i.e. will be in cpg1.5.x) - see http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=38552.0. You're welcome to backport that feature.
