I need to add a sub_menu button which will allow each registered users to "edit/display all their own pictures" they have uploaded themselves into the public albums, without displaying the pictures uploaded by other users? Assuming that the registered users only uploads their pictures into the public albums created by the administrator, and the users should be able to view/edit their uploaded pictures just by clicking on the newly added sub-menu button. Currently coppermine doesn't have this feature yet. Is there a way to do that?

You can use the 'lastupby' meta album to display all pictures uploaded by a particular user. So you could create your menu item and link to that meta album imo.

I tried to use 'lastupby' by creating a sub menu button and then pointing the link to http:/mysite.com/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=1&cat=-5 so that when a user is logged on, he can click this sub menu button to view all pictures uploaded by him, in all of the albums he choosed but unfortunately it didn't work. Any suggestion to modify the link? Thanks.

I used the link as pointing to http:/mysite.com/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=2 which seemed to work fine for User ID=2 only, but i need to make it this way that only the user logged in at the time will see his uploads. This "uid=2" points to user with ID=2, but if user with ID=3 or ID=4 uses the same link i created for the Sub Menu Button, they will be directed to the pictures uploaded by User ID=2. I would like the User ID=3 or ID=4 to access their own last uploads, just by clicking on the Sub Menu Button link. Thanks.

You need to create a placeholder and replace it with the link (including the correct user id, which is stored in the constant USER_ID) if the user is logged in. Attach your complete theme to your next reply if cannot figure it out yourself.

I have attached my theme.txt file for your review since the attachment does not allow upload of .php file. I will need help with this feature. Do i need to provide link to my website?

Please attach your theme folder as zip file (which resides in 'themes/') and not the file include/themes.inc.php.

Don't just post "I have found the answer", but tell others what you actually did to solve your issues. Posting a link to the page where you found the answer might help. Describing what you did might help as well.

I Created a Sub Menu Button called "My Pictures" by editing my theme/theme.php file and then i pointed the Sub Menu button link to http:/mysite.com/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=2. So that when a user uploaded several files, the users can click on the sub menu button "My Pictures" anytime while browsing and can view all the uploads they have ever created. Check it out here at: www.ifoundasale.com     Register a username first, upload any pictures, enter details and then try it to see if it works. It worked for me, so i hope it works for others too.

I doubt that this solution will work for different users. You have to create a token like thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid={USER_ID} and replace that token later with the appropriate USER_ID.
