Setting Up User Albums like Photopost's

fasteddie · October 22nd, 2004, 01:19 PM

So I finally got the basics down and some tests I've done make it seem like it's working, but I want users to upload stuff into their own album.

So jack would have his own folder under User Galleries, just like how the Photopost Gallery here works. Also, since I'm moving over from another gallery software, I'll have to manually do this myself, so I'm not sure if it's possible, but when I upload as "jack" I want that photo to go into jack's folder automatically.

How do I config the gallery settings to do what I want? Thanks!

(Also, when I hit the Manage Albums option in Admin, I just get a blank screen after PhotoPost Personal Album Editor in the blue bar up top... is that normal?)

If you have no albums yes none are listed

If you want jacks to go to jacks member gallery all you need to do is upload as jack and upload to members gallery (500) basically all Photopost uploaded to the members gallery will be sorted as members galleries under that category

In the lines of this topic
What if you deleted the category member gallery?
I deleted it in the beginning thinking I was not going to use it.

Now I would like to give each person their own section.

Does that require a fresh install?

You cant delete members gallery without causing problems with the script and the 500 placeholder

How did you delete it as if you go to edit categories it does not let you

I think I deleted it in the categories admin section.

I see My Gallery · Album Admin · My Favorites in the header but when I go to upload a photo the only choices I have are those categories I created.

Now I understand about the 500 placeholder.
I edited the Member Gallery category to reflect another category.
I renamed it Member Gallery so it is 500.

Thanks!

Yep you cant delete the member's gallery from the category editor

I have mine renamed to Showcase.
