Hi Sylvia,
Even though I have only uploaded 5 pictures, I now have 622 pictures in my album - I think that they are all of everyones pictures. . .

Hello Sylvia,
Why can't I see Kelly's photos? I look in the albums, but to no avail.

Hi, Kelly!
It's easier (to me) to use programs in the internet (there are free ones) to make such kinds of operations with the photos (rotating, resizing, &c), and, when the pic is "ready" I make the upload in my gallery here at Playmofriends.
Did you manage to make your own album? Maybe you uploaded in a public album ... (There's one ...)

There are 2 pages of albums now and Kelly's comes up on the second page, so that might explain why you're missing it at first.
When on the home page of the Gallery, click the User Galleries link under the "Category" heading at the top of the page. Then on the bottom left of the panel which shows thumbnails of the albums, click 2 to bring up the next page. You should now see the albums for Bill Blackhurst and Kelly. :)
Here's a direct link to Kelly's album which shows there are only 5 images so far:

The "622" must be the total uploaded to the entire gallery. I can't think where else the figure would come from. :eh?:

I tried the link Sylvia, and it said "no image to display".
When I try to look for user's galleries, I get 20 users, with Gustavo and Bill Blackhurst being the last two on page 1, and there is no page 2.

Hmmm... this is very odd.
When I am logged in as admin I can see Kelly's album, but when I log out I can't see it either. 8}
I'll have to work out why that is...
Edit: Just checked a screen capture and there are two albums which go missing when I log out - Pingo's album also vanishes from view. Now I need to find the common factor. :lens:

This is a real head-scratcher...
If you don't edit an album in any way, there's a chance that no viewing permissions get automatically set. Seems a bit like a glitch in the system, but I don't think I can change it.
I don't know if this will work, Kelly, but it's worth a try...
Once you have logged in, click on the small grey button which says Create/order my albums.
Find your album in the Album Title section. In my example it is called "pix"
Since the permissions default to 'Album can be viewed by everybody', don't change anything at all, just click the Update album button at the bottom.
(see attachment for screen capture)
Hopefully that will kick start it. :crossed: (and toes too! ;D)
Another thing to remember is that any album will not become visible until there are photos in it since there are no pics to create the thumbnail. But that is a different issue to the one here, of course. ;)

OK. I think it works now. I can see my pics and there aren't a million pictures in my folder anymore. I updated it and re-set it to allow everyone to see the pics - it said no update necessary. . . Can you see it now?
Kelly

No change for me. :(
I can still only see your album when I'm logged in as admin. ???

I found this picture as the latest uploaded, today:

Is this one yours, Kelly?

That was a test pic which I got my daughter to upload (as "candy"). It was the easiest way for me to test the new album function as a regular user.
OK... I think I've found a work-around solution!
(Still not sure what caused the initial problem though. :-[)
I've disabled the "private album" function in the general configuration for the whole gallery. This means that no-one can have a hidden album anymore, and ALL pics will be visible to both registered users and guests.
Hopefully this won't cause any problems for anyone, but I shall send out a general newsletter advising all members of this change just in case they had stuff in their albums which they didn't want to share with others. ;)
As before, only registered forum users are able to post comments to the gallery, so it shouldn't make a very big difference overall. :)

Okay!
I am glad it was not just my own ineptitude, I can see Kelly's album and all the others that were there yesterday. Thank you Sylvia.
Kelly, thanks for the pix, I especially like the one of them hauling on the line (no doubt singing some shanty to help along)!

No worries. :)
It was quite puzzling for me being able to view an album when even the album's creator couldn't.
The main config area for the gallery area didn't throw up any clues and there were no answers to be found at Coppermine's support forum. At least it's more or less sorted out for now. :crossed:
