Still not working:
I wanted to make the 'create album' option on the top menu because ... one of the only things I do not like about the coppermine package is that you need to create an album BEFORE uploading files but the option to create an album does not show up on the 'upload file' page. So when a user goes to upload a file, they can only choose an existing album. My new users have all asked about this. If there is a way to make the option to 'create an album' appear on the 'upload file' page that would be great. The option 'choose an album' is present on the page but not 'create an album' or 'create a new album'. I know that this is not Facebook, but Facebook is what everyone is getting used to. On Facebook, when you go to upload files, it asks you to create an album.
So, I would love it if there is a way to make the 'create an album' or 'create a new album' appear on the upload file page.
Second to that, I wanted to put the 'create album' button on the top menu. I tried the suggestions. A replaced the code with the 'albmgr' code but that did not remove the button for non-logged in people. I tried creating an if statement with php and I cannot get it to work, I think because of the surrounding code or because of how coppermine works with its files. I tried if(user_id > 0) { the code }, if(constant("user_id) > 0){the code}, I tried both of those with {echo 'the code';} and I tried putting <?php before and ?> after my code block. They all just showed the statements in the menu bar, but did not execute them.
I really appreciate the help and hope that this isn't too wordy.
