Phoca Forum

Hi All,

I have setup the Phoca Gallery in the web I am developing for an amateur non-profit Astronomy Group in Bilbao.

I want to set up the front end control panel so that members of the Group (designated as Joomla "authors") can upload images, but "registered" users can't. In the different cathegories the upload rights can be set to allow access to
- nobody
- all registered users
- different users (on a one by one basis)

Is there a way to allow access to all "authors" at once?

Thanks in advance ofr your help

try this setting in the Phoca Gallery Options (user tab):
"Access Level - Registered Users - Set access levels for registered users. Some actions in frontend can be done by registered users only (e.g. rating or commenting). Set which access level group will be regarded as registered group." (from documentation)

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have this parameter set to "especial", which in joomla is defined to be "authors". But it turns out that any joomla registered user can upload images.

Best

i was talking about the setting in the global phoca gallery options, there is no "special" in the list, it's just a list containing all your user groups.
(PG 3.2 for J! 2.5)

I understood that, but did not explained correctly (sorry about that).

I can choose in the aforementioned selection box between two access levels defined on my web,
- registered - registered users (anybody registered on the web)
- special - authors (Astronomy Group members)

I was expecting that by selecting in this box the latter only group members could upload images to the gallery. But registered users can also upload them.

Thanks

I expected a similar behavior :/
there are several places to set permissions e.g.: global phoca gallery, image category, joomla permissions. you'll probably have to find out the right settings by trial an error or wait for another user who already used this feature - i don't have any other answers
