Show Album Photos in a members gallery

Epic Mike · November 4th, 2010, 05:34 PM

Is there a way to show photos that a user uploads to an album under their member's gallery. For example, if a user creates an album and uploads all of their photos to that album, when you click on their name you see that one album only, and then in their gallery you get the message "This category does not contain any images."

Chuck, when you were testing some solutions to my site's cookie problems, there was one change you made where photos in a user's album would actually show up in their members gallery. Was this by chance that it happened or is there an easy way to accomplish the same thing again?

Thanks,

Mike

well to show all a users photos you would set that in show gallery options I think. If a user has personal albums they should show under there members gallery. Here is a perfect example.

I have "Do you want Members Gallery to show all of a users photos?" set to yes in the showgallery options. Is that the option that you are talking about? It doesn't seem to change anything between "yes" and "no"

Looking at that link you provided, under the "cookie88 Gallery" heading where it says "This category does not contain any images." That is where the images were showing up even though they were also in the members album.

Just to make sure I understand your last post. You have your gallery set to not show all of a user's images. So when you are looking at that page you linked to, you only see the album and not the images within the album. Instead of seeing the images in the album you are just seeing the "This category does not contain any images" message right?

You do not see an album in the link I provided I do.

I see an album and then below where normal category images show the correct message that says there are no images as it should.

That is what I am seeing. Is there a way to, instead of showing that message, show the images in all of their albums there instead?

Is that what the "Do you want Members Gallery to show all of a users photos?" option is supposed to do.

Here's a picture to show what I am asking about. Is there a way to show all of a user's images including the ones in all of their albums here:

You do not show personal album photos in the members gallery like that. Things show as I am posting. The members gallery is a category much like any main category. You can show all a members regular photos in the members gallery. Album Photos are shown in there respective albums with the albums being listed in the members gallery.
