Let system create user main category automatically

Post by garyhung2000 »

Hi,

Currently User Control Panel allows user to create one main category and multiple subcategories. Would it be simplier to have system create a default username subcategory under one system "users" category? I ask because:

1) if there are many users creating their categories at top level, the gallery tree will appear to be very long.
2) new user may get confused when being asked to create one-and-only main category, and subcategories underneath (I am one of them...)

Or it is all possible already and just I don't know where to configure?

Many thanks! I love Phoca btw!! it's one of the greatest extensions I have every experienced.

Regards,
Gary

Hi, for now there is no such feature, to create a main category for user automatically, you need to somehow customize the registration script. If user will register the category will be created, but this cannot be done in Phoca Gallery as registering script is done by Joomla! itself :-( :idea:
