create album for user

Halfhidden · October 13th, 2009, 12:45 PM

Hi, just wondering how I can create an album for a member if they have not done so. In my case a member uploaded a picture to a main category and it should be in his own library... but he's not logged in.
Can I create an album for him and move that picture into it.
(I know how to move the pictures)
Regards,
Steff

Only a user can create a personal album. You can not create an album for a user. The personal albums script is simply for the actual user. You can edit delete users albums but not create new ones.

Ok... I'll see how else this can be achieved... Thanks Chuck.

Hi Chuck. I have done this now. I created an album and then changed the Parent to match the user ID and moved the pictures into the new album. That is acceptable isn't it?

yeah if you create it as you and change the parent id to another users id via the database sure if thats how you want to do it.

Yep thanks... I really don't want to be digging about in the database but really had to deal with this so of straight away.
Perhaps if I find a few mins I'll mod something up and put it in the mods corner.
Thanks for your help as always...
