Unable to set menu order and view for guest users

15 Aug 2008, 14:20

Good evening,

I would like to know why i can't change the order of the menu items. I did try with the admin console, but nothing changes :(
The best would be if i could change it to the way i wanted in a static way if possible.

My other problem is that if i create a user which has access to a certain folder he/she also has the options to delete and move. I would rather have that user only being able to save the pictures.


Hope someone can help me :)

Thanks,

Maarten

Did you try the folderSorting setting in main config? We are aware that many users want a custom sorting feature, so we will look into that. In the meantime, there is a workaround:

1. Set folderSorting to "NA" name ascending.
2. Connect to your gallery in FTP, and rename your folders the following way:

a_mygallery
c_anothergallery
e_about
g_contact

The alphabetical characters will force the sorting based on your own requirements, and you can use titles to create their display names.

Are you saying that your specific user can delete pictures outside of his/her specific folder?

Thanks for your suggestions,

The changing of the folder names via FTP did not work straight away. I found out that even when i changed the display of folders to NA my folderdata.xml in the root was not changed to NA and was still on auto. I changed manual and now working :)

The thing with the user is that he/she can delete files/folders in the directory they got access to. I would like that user being able to download or add, but not to delete. Better would be if you could set options like {edit} {delete} {read} {full control}

Regards,

Maarten

If your folderdata.xml doesnt get updated, then that might be a permissions issue. You should make sure data/settings get saved ...

Thanks for the feedback on the admin user. We may look into this later, but fo now, a user who is restricted to a subfolder gets full control to do whatever they want in that folder.

I'm having a little problem with this. I renamed my folders via FTP as follows:

a_2008 (I want this to appear at the top of my menu)
b_2007
c_2006

Then, when I went back to my site/gallery, I noticed that the menu is actually listed in the order that the folders were last renamed via FTP (unless it's because they are listed numerically instead), so now it looks like this:

2006
2007
2008

In my config, I have defaultSortFolders: na and defaultSortFiles: na.

Am I doing something wrong?
