Access level for photo upload

Post by junsve »

Hi
I'm new to Phoca Gallery and very happy with it.

I want to control who can upload, so I changed the Access Level in the User part in Control Panel settings.
I included Special and Super User in the "Registered" as I want only publishers in the Joomla site to be able to upload photos.
There seems to be e bug because the setting is not followed by the gallery so regardless of setting, upload access is only controlled by the setting in the category where I can choose All registered or have to pick users manually.
I expect that choosing Registered follows the setting mentioned above?

Please advice.

Hi, where exactly did you change the settings? The only way to set access rights in frontend is the category opton:

I want to give acces to categories not per user but per Joomla access type (Registered, Special). How can I achieve that?

The setting I'm refering to is in Joomla Global Configuration - Phoca Gallery - Users - Users - Access Level - Registered Users

(index.php?option=com_config&view=component&component=com_phocagallery)

In options you can define more detailed info about the rights, but the rights can be set in category options. There you can set which user can have different rights to the category (upload, access, ...)
