How to allow users to create albums?
but the only section I can find to enable this option is:
ACP > Permissions > Group Permissions > reigstered users > Administrative Permissions > phpBB Gallery > Can add/edit albums and permissions
I like the "Can add" part of that, but I'm not so sure what the "edit albums and permissions" part of it means. Can someone clarify? I want to merely allow the users to Create new albums, however, they should not be allowed to control the permissions and delete other albums, etc...
Can someone advise please?
Thanks

I believe users should already be able to add their own albums, personal albums, in the Gallery tab in the UCP. To allow them to upload images, go to the Permissions sections of the Gallery mod under the .MODs tab. Choose "Own personal albums", the desired group, then set permissions as you want.

Re: How to allow users to create albums?
I can see my upload in "Recent Images" but there would be no other way to navigate to these Personal Albums through the main Gallery page since all of the Albums shown are the ones I created as admin (i.e. non-personal albums).
Is there any way I can create an additional section on the Gallery page for Personal Albums so that another user can click someone else's Personal Album and it will display the same way all of the other albums do? OR would a user always have to click through another user's profile to see their albums?
Thanks

Re: How to allow users to create albums?
it was: View personal albums as album on the index
However when I opted "Yes", there was no link to Personal Albums off the Gallery index. to be sure, I cleared the cache, refreshed themes/template/imagesets... still no go.
My interpretation of this option was that when enabled, there would also be a link to "Personal Albums" from the Galley index. But I do not see it. Instead, I can only find all of the non-personal albums listed just like before.
Please advise (I feel like I'm very close here...)

When you enable "View personal albums as album on the index" you should see the block "USERS PERSONAL ALBUMS" in the Gallery index

Re: How to allow users to create albums?
I'm not having an issue with the personal galleries...that just seems to work however I can't figure out how to make a 'Group' or 'Shared' album. I notice in these replies a 'main gallery' is mentioned...how do I do this?
