Users cant create category

A Geek · December 11th, 2004, 09:46 AM

Having a hard time trying to enable users creating categories. In the drop down box, all options are in bold and wont allow selection.
In the admin panel, each category is set to allow users to creat sub categories so whats up?

Thanks

Actually... it looks like no one can even upload images as they cant pick a category in which to place them!

BTW: the adv_gallery_permissions is totally empty. Not even a record. Is this right? (was just wondering if that was the problem)

Thats odd, works just fine here. Can you provide in more detail what steps you took to enable?

Fiber · December 11th, 2004, 10:03 AM

Do you have a site link for that?

A Geek · December 11th, 2004, 10:08 AM

yes, me again.

I figured out that the gallery persmissions table was for custom persmissions.
However the odd thing is this:
if I take a user group, change to 'custom persmissions' but leave all options to the deafult, the category isnt even visible in pull down boxes (upload/category admin) even though I can browse it. Turn it back to default permissions (same ones though) and it appears... but in bold (like all other options) and you cant choose it.

Thanks!

Use the custom radial setting and adjust the settings so users can creat a category/subcategories if that is what you want.? Did I miss something?

Also when did you download the zipfile for the gallery?

A Geek · December 11th, 2004, 10:19 AM

I dont mean to sound daft... but what custom radial setting?

If I edit the usergroup settings... Each is set to Create Categories: Yes, #of categories? 0 (for no limit)

Each category is set to allow users to create sub categories? Yup

downloaded last night

Go to CATEGORY SETTINGS > REGISTERED USERS and make sure you check in there that they can create categories and whatever else you want for them and at the top click on the CUSTOM SETTING radial settings. Radial is just the click and the dot goes in the field. Just in case ;D

Have you tried the fix posted in this thread?

Fiber · December 11th, 2004, 10:34 AM

I was just getting to that Brian that was my next step for him. To much going on this morning!

A Geek · December 11th, 2004, 10:35 AM

Im not sure what you mean by category settings->registered users

Here is what I have done:

Usergroup Permissions->Registered :: Can create categories? Yes :: Maximu # of categories? 0
Edit Category (each one):: Allow users to create sub categories? Yes

Try the link that Brian posted for that may fix your problem.

yea... that sussed it. I must have started typing before you submitted those. Feel a bit of a heel once I submitted the post and Brian had already posted the solution.

Cheers

Yeah I have been bug hunting all night, So I just go back to the bugs page and go down the list and check them and fix away. The god thing is I have ran this through the ringer and I am running out of bugs.

The link is broken. My users still can't create sub-directories.
