Hi there,

I am new to coppermine, so its probably a simple fix.

I simply just want my users, including myself, to upload pictures to the a public album. In user mode logged in as the super administrator, I cannot even upload pictures (thankfully in admin mode i can)... but this still is defeating the purpose of having this. I want my users to easily upload pictures to one public album. I refered to the the post a user had posted on the 19th where to refer to the doco, but that still didnt solve my problem...

Here's my setup and settings for my coppermine:

I have coppermine 1.4.19. I installed it with Fantastico.

I have a bridge setup with Joomla 1.5.8 and brought in the user group permissions and settings from joomla.

In the specific album permissions I have,
Album can be viewed by: Everybody (public album)
Visitor can upload files: No
Visitor can post comments: No
Visitor can rate files: no

For my groups settings, everysingle user except for guests, has:
Public albums upload, allowed = yes and approval = no.
Personal gallery, allowed = No and approval = no.
Upload method, no of boxes = fixed, file upload boxes = 5, and URI boxes = 3

Now normal logic says, if i have a user under one of those multiple joomla groups, such as Publisher, or even Super Administrator, I should be able to upload....

Any help you can provide would be great!

Thank you!!

Nevermind... its a backwards setting. Why do i have to set album settings, set so "Visitors can upload" to true, so my users can upload? That just doesnt make logical sense. Given the permission setting fields refer to 'users' not visitors in the fields... its just inconsistent and confusing.
