Creating new category and subcategory from front-end

Post by kshipra »

Again with a new problem :(

I have created a user control panel and have given access to the user to upload a new image and to edit the category. As in my site user is the administrator so I want user(i.e. administrator in my case) to create a new category and new sub category through the front-end. I am not able to do it :( Is it possible for a user to do it from front-end ? Please tell me the solution to do it
Please do tell m.. i m not able to find any solution for this please help me out. :(

Thanx a lot in advance

Hi,

now I'm referring to the same document as before: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... ser-upload and quoting this time - so search and read better next time!:
Let user upload to his or her own category
The easy way: You go to menus » your menu » [new]. Then you create a new menu-item of type 'Phoca Gallery User Control Panel Layout'. You can set the menu-item access to public, registered and special. When you set the item to public and an unregistered user tries to access the menu-item he gets the login page, because upload is only available to registered or higher users. If a registered user logs in and enters that page then he is able to create a category and upload pictures to that category. Phoca Gallery creates a folder on your disk for this category and the uploaded images and thumbnails are saved there. The next time the user accesses this menu-item he can edit the category name and description, but is not able to create a new category.
If you searched the forum or the feedback page, you would notice more than one feature request for creating subcategories in the frontend.

Regards, Carolien
Please ask your support questions in the forums and not via PM - I delete those PM's
Backup before you do any major change to your website (and test first)

hey..again the same reply :) ....I have read the whole document. and as i told you in my last post that " I have created a user control panel and have given access to the user to upload a new image and to edit the category."
This is possible for one user as its written in the document that
" The next time the user accesses this menu-item he can edit the category name and description, but is not able to create a new category."

So here user is the administrator and he can create as many categories as he wants.. Basically I want the rights of user similar to the rights of an administrator i.e. he can create as much categories , subcategories he wants and should be able to upload images in each one of them...

Yeah I read the feature request about creating subcategories in the front end...but thought that thr might be any other way so that I can some how manage this..But anyways..will be waiting for this feature :)
