I was just saying:
1. I wrote this script as a hack in my spare time. It is not part of the official vbgallery release.
2. It does not attempt to show the members albums because I hadn't had the time to look how pp7 handles the member albums. (I never used pp7 and was just looking at the dbase)
All I know is that in vbgallery, the membercategories can be imported easely.
The problem are the named categories created by a user where a user can be admin. There vbgallery does not support to many. IF the user creates categories in which he is admin, and allows other users to upload into them, they are listed in a dropdown in vbgallery. (imagine you having 20000 users, each one having 2 categories and someone wanting to upload in one of these, he would have to choose from 40000 entries in one dropdown)

I dont know if the albums you are referring to are these categories, (as I said I never used pp7, I do not even own a license - as i got vbgallery at a time where you could not have both)

In vbgallery, the user can set permissions to those categories, I would also have to check how to transfer those permissions, how pp7 handles this.

And what I was saying that there is no point in writing a script in my spare time as long as gold is not out, as maybe things might change in vbgallery and I would have to rewrite it. I have a real job in life, and my time is valuable to me.

And I just want to stress that i am NOT member of the photopost staff. I am just a normal user that tries to help others out in his spare time.

PS: Now if everybody thinks that that script is useless, well in that case i will just delete it.
