"Manage Photo" available to members?

pengrus · September 12th, 2009, 11:17 AM

My members report to me that when they click on Manage Photo link, it says they do not have the permission.

Could you please let me know if this is supposed to be the case? How can we give them the permission?

If they are logged and clicking there own manage link they should be fine. I would definately need more info here on this issue.

Chuck,

They are logged in. Here are the steps leading to the error message:

Gallery>Profile>Statistics> (scroll down to) Photo Notifications> Manage Photos

Members can then highlight the photos they wish to delete using thumbnails to assist.

But when members click the 'submit' button a message appears:

"You do not have permission for this operation."

Well highly strange because that error comes from trying to sort there photos but that error suggests some reason they are not sorting there own photos.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

See that basically that diewell is triggered if the userid of the user is not equal to the userid of the photo userid.

Chuck,

That sounds alarming. :-)

Remember that photozo was migrated from phpBB to vBulletin, and you helped us wrote a script to sort out the user id issue? Is this problem related to the userid change issue from migrating from phpBB to vBulletin?

Thanks,
Sean

It could be sure if there are members whos accounts could not be found etc sure. Nothing is every fool proof when switching integrations.

You can do some searching with the individual user whom says he has the issue and see what the actual photos table is saying as to whom owns the photos.

If for instance they have another userid they should have another username and you can then look up that other username in vb and see if they exist. The script can only update usernames it finds. The script used is here it was not something I wrote for you specifically.

Reassign userid's when switching integrations to VBulletin

Chuck,

I am afraid of breaking something if I run that myself. I remember you helped us fixing the userid already during the migration, so I think it has been run.

May I email you all the access information, so you can take a look at it yourself? Let me know what information you need. I guess I should also provide the user login of those who have the problem.

Sorry to bother you, but I am not knowledgeable or brave enough to try this myself.

Thanks!

I can take a quick look sure I just need logins and of course alot more info like what user this is etc so I know what to look for.

I would assume some personal album assigned to a user thats not right

pengrus · September 14th, 2009, 08:21 PM

I am gathering the information from members, and will email it to you as soon as I get them. Thank you!

Chuck S · September 15th, 2009, 06:42 AM

not a problem sean I will be here.

Chuck S · September 16th, 2009, 06:28 AM

Sean

I got one login from some guy who just got my address with his login. I cant find it now but anyway when your ready make sure you send all the pertinent info asked for in one email.

Thanks

pengrus · September 19th, 2009, 11:33 AM

Chuck,

I just sent you another email with all the information. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

Chuck S · September 19th, 2009, 02:05 PM

I see that

Chuck S · September 19th, 2009, 02:34 PM

actually nothing to do with anything but a query

The ppmysql_query_one thing was not working so I changed around the query to grab the userid on the photo and it works

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

pengrus · September 19th, 2009, 02:51 PM

Okay, I will post a reply to our thread and letting them test it. Thanks so much Chuck for helping us on a Saturday.

Chuck,

There is another bug associated with the Manage Photo link/page.

When members click on the link "Manage Photo" from statistic page, they are taken to a page that defaults to "Members Gallery" category. But the problem is, it ALWAYS shows zero photos on this page. They have to click the drop down menu to select a subcategory such as Architecture, then click to select Members Gallery to bring up any photos.

Could you please help us check and fix this bug?

Many thanks!

Chuck S · September 19th, 2009, 03:21 PM

Thats not a bug in any manner.

The members gallery shows first sure but if your users have not uploaded to the members galleries then no photos are shown they must select what cat they are trying to manage once they do they will be shown photos.

pengrus · September 19th, 2009, 03:23 PM

They do have photos in MEMEBERS GALLERY. These photo do not show on initial landing upon clicking "Manage Photo". They have to click on subcategory first, then click on Members Gallery to show photos in Members Gallery.

Chuck S · September 19th, 2009, 03:29 PM

Correct the default action is NO category is selected. You just select a category to grab photos.

pengrus · September 19th, 2009, 03:32 PM

If we click on "Manage Photo" link, the default selected/shown category in the dropdown box is "Members Gallery".

Or, how can we make it the default select to be Members Gallery?
