auto user categories

[n6rej]

Is it possible for users to automatically get a categorie made for them and assigend as sub category of "members" when they are registered?
I want members to be a parent with no write permissions but each member to have a sub category under it where they can upload images. I'd prefer to not have to create that category each time.

Hi, for this, you need to customize the core Joomla! registering php file

actually joomgallery already has this feature, but the way it is triggered is, after login if person is not in the gallery user db, then it is added. The interesting thing is, that commuinity buider ( see nant's gallery ) doesn't do it this way I don't think. All i know for sure is each user has a "gallery" in cb with nant's and also with joomgallery.
I've used joom for a long time and am looking into changing.

Hi, no experiences, but this must be done by the registering script (if joomla core or community builder, it does not matter), so if user is registered, the folder will be created and an info about this folder will be set into the database.
