User folder was not defined

[tess63]

Trying to upload pictures from the front end using 1.8 beta, I get the message "User folder was not defined". I have a new category of "Your Photos" for people to use but it is not showing up on the website. What do I need to do to get pictures uploaded by my registered users?

You must set the folder, where the images will be uploaded...

Phoca Gallery - Categories - New | Edit - select the user folder...

I did find the user document helpful but I guess I am unclear on where the directory should be created.
I added the dir under the images/phocagallery/mydir and images/mydir but I still get the same error. "Defined User Folder Does Not Exist"

Anyone out there have an idea?

Did you select this directory in category edit (where you edit the category and edit ther user rights...)

[crusty_collins]

That is the way I understood the the doc. Create a dir, create a category, asaign a user to full permissions. But I have tried several different ways and I still get the same error.

does the folder exist, did you select it from the modal box (clicking on folder in Categories edit)

Ok, I think I got it. I did try to add through the modal box but it never did anything. BUT I got it... Thanks for all the help.

I was assuming that when I set the directory that should be it.

So when I create a category I now set a directory that I created in images\phocagallery.

Then when I go to the gallery edit I do a multiple add and select the directory listed on the bottom and Wham it works!

Thanks a bunch
