Good day,
My name is Sergey. Now our company works building a new portal, and wee use PhocaGallery as an element. We do it by Joomla 1.5.
I need to place some elements of ruling gallery on main page. For example, our user could create new folders straightly on site page, not with a help of admin module of Joomla.
Maybe you have got any plugins for it? Or could help me how could I do it by hands
And also we have some troubles in users group rights. I suggest that they should create such galleries but only some special group of users. How could I realize it?
Hi, users cannot create the folder yet ... there are the same user groups as in joomla:
registered (all registered) and special (administrators)
User cannot create a folder in front because the folder creation takes a rights adding which can be do only in admin (e.g. some limits).... It is in feature request list...
Hi, Jan, thanks for your reply!
But I try to explain my problem more correctly.
I want to create a gallery on our portal, and my users could be authors of photos in it.
So they must have rights to create author`s categories and sub-categories for placing their photos.
To ask me to create them such categories and folders in admin module is too complicated and not comfortable path.
I want to give them a possibility to create such author`s categories from frontend. For example, they ask me only to include them in a group of authors, and that`s all. I give this very user a right "to be an author", and after that after refreshing he would see on frontend such module "create a folder" (we understand that really it means to create a category, not phisical folder), and a form where he would write a name of a folder, for example, "Vasya". After that on a frontend we see a folder "Vasya". He could click it and see a picture for backstep (as it is now), and a little lower again such module "create a folder" (for creatind sub-category, for example, "I am on Paris last summer"), and also module "update photos" (if he doesn`t create sublevel and prefer place photos just here). And if he create such "inner folder" so he could see there only a module to update photos. So I don`t want to give him a possibility to create more complicated structure than 2 levels.
But ! He mustn`t have a right: to change categories of other users; to do smth else in admin module and even not to come into the admin module at all; to change structure which he has already created. All such work I do for him by his request.
How could I hope to your help in this problem?
Hi the creation of this possibility is in plans... It looks like an easy function... just adding a form for creating folder... but there is a very difficult behaviour in rights and permissions ... there are conflicts between:
rights for registered, rights for special, rights for private categories ( categories view x category view x detail view x map view).... then the default parameters must be set (e.g. if user will create new category - new folder, limits must be saved automatically) ... and and....
... there are the same user groups as in joomla:
