PhotoPost Admin Photo Approval Interface bug(NOT A BUG)

[Johnny Doomo]

The "PhotoPost Admin Photo Approval Interface" in the admincp that is the page that comes up when you click "Bulk Actions". It doesn't appear to track any images uploaded by unregistered users.

Do you have unregistered set to moderation YES?

elseif ( $cat == 0 ) {
$query = "SELECT id,user,userid,cat,storecat,date,title,description,keywords,bigimage,width,height,filesize,views,medwidth,medheight,medsize,approved FROM {$Globals['pp_db_prefix']}photos WHERE approved='0' AND storecat=0 $modcats $sortcode";
}

It is very clear that approval has nothing to do with users but clear any photo that is not approved is shown.

The usergroup "unregistered" is not set for "Require Moderation?" but neither is the registered usergroup, yet that bulk actions page still shows images uploaded by users in the registered usergroup.

Chuck, he isn't talking about Approve Photos, but rather the Bulk Actions area in a category.

I don't see anything in the code that would prohibit an unregistered image from appearing in the list. Is every photo in the category displaying except those from unregistered users?

[Johnny Doomo]

I've narrowed down the problem... If the admin usergroup doesn't have permission to upload images to a category, it doesn't show that cat available in the dropdown menu on the bulk action page in the adminCP.

Whether this is a bug or not, I'm not sure how you guys consider it. To me they seem like to seperate things and just because I allow somebody to upload (or not) doesn't mean the cat should be hidden from that person unless I set the permission that says "These checked usergroups can view images in this category." But I guess it's up to you how you want to deal with it. For the time being I just set the admin to upload to the unregistered category and the option appeared in the dropdown box. So I can now bulk remove any unwanted uploaded images by unregistered users.

Thanks for clarifying although technically not a bug since you are not allowing admins to see that cat I do beleive downloading the current build and reuploading pp-inc.php might solve this for you.

Michael made a change to add in if your an admin you see everything regardless of your permissions

[Johnny Doomo]

Ah, yes allowing the admin to see everything probably would solve a bunch of these types of problems. But remember, It's not that the admin can't SEE the category, he just can't UPLOAD to it. I would understand if the admin couldn't see it, but it seems like the permissions were goofed up on.

I've modified my pp-inc.php a good amount, but thanks for the heads up. If I have any more problems related to these type of things I may try to download the new version and compare and mod the new pp-inc.php.

Thanks.

Well there is a difference that I explained in your search thread.

On the cat move box it is upload permissions not view so this is the issue.
