Please don't mix the terms "album" and "folder". Albums will be created with the album manager (with the help of your web browser). Folders will be created in the file system, usually via FTP or automatically by Coppermine.

I guess you want Coppermine to create sub-folders on file system level for each album, right? If so, there's a hidden config option upload_create_album_directory. You have to manually set the value to one in your database's config table, using a tool like PHPMyAdmin.

Hi.
Thank you for answer. Yes, I want when I make a album with album manager Coppermine to create sub-folders on file system level for each album. But your explanations are too complexed to me. If you have a time please tell me when and how manually set the value to one in my database's config table.
Regards

Open your Coppermine database with PHPMyAdmin (or your favorite tool), and you'll see a couple of tables. Now just find the row with the name upload_create_album_directory and change its value to '1' in the config table.

This is a list of my Coppermine DB tables. Here is not "upload_create_album_directory".

Open cpg15x_config.

Open cpg15x_config.

In cpg15x_config no row with the name "upload_create_album_directory" .

Then add a new row.

Then add a new row.

This is not for me. I give up 
But this is idea: if you want make this in next update of Coppermine. Will be great 
Thanx and have a nice day.

Just execute the following query in PHPMyAdmin:

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO cpg15x_config (name, value) VALUES ('upload_create_album_directory', '1');

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO cpg15x_config (name, value) VALUES ('upload_create_album_directory', '1');

I open PHPMyAdmin and execute this. Result - new row with this data. But this is not working. I make album in Album manager, upload a pictures bur there is not new folder.

Works as expected in my testbed, but not in your gallery. Please attach your zipped upload.php file to your next reply.

Hi.

Weird. The code says

Code Select Expand

        if ($CONFIG['upload_create_album_directory']) {
            $filepath .= '/'.$album;
            $dest_dir .= '/'.$album;
            if (!is_dir($dest_dir)) {
                mkdir($dest_dir, octdec($CONFIG['default_dir_mode']));
                if (!is_dir($dest_dir)) {
                    echo sprintf('error|'.$lang_db_input_php['err_mkdir'].'|1', $dest_dir);
                    exit;
                }
                @chmod($dest_dir, octdec($CONFIG['default_dir_mode'])); //silence the output in case chmod is disabled
                $fp = fopen($dest_dir . '/index.php', 'w');
                fwrite($fp, ' ');
                fclose($fp);
            }
        }

As creating the directory userpics/10002 worked as expected and the same code is used to create the sub-directory, it seems that the whole code block isn't executed (otherwise you'll get a error message if creating the directory fails). So the only reason is, that $CONFIG['upload_create_album_directory'] is false, so please double check your database's config table.
