New Phoca user - User Upload doesn't work

Post by doodledave »

Hi All... hope you can help.
I have set up a Front End user upload on my site and am finding two problems:
I am able to upload and publish pictures using the Administrator access, no problem...
When I try to add pictures from the FRONT end it just doesn't work - no file is uploaded (and no error message shown)
When I try to upload using the Upload Multiple Files tab, I get the error message "User Folder (Category Folder) Not Defined" and when all three fail I get the return "Count of not uploaded (failed) images: 3"
There is, however, nowhere for the Front End user to designate a User Folder as per "User Folder (Category Folder) Not Defined"
Any clue as to how I can rectify this?

I have limited User Upload to Registered users only - but once logged in ANY registred user can "delete" or "unpublish" ANY uploaded picture...
Obviously I don't want this level of control for people to delete other people's uploads (although no-one can upload from the front end yet, as per my first problem)...
What do i need to do to stop this from happening (or only be be available to the User who uploaded the picture)

Thanking you all in anticipation...

Hi, see:
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... ser-upload

when user did not create a category and he/she has rights to upload there, a folder needs to be defined in edit of category (in administration)
when user created main category there such folder is created automatically

In UCP users are able to delete only own files, in category view all users who have rights can delete files.
