Hi, need a bit of advice / help with the Drake gallery component.
I'm working with the latest beta 0.4.2 and can't seem to get rid
of the 'Submit a picture to this category' link in the front end.
Now, I know the link is present when you're logged into the admin
back-end - but it should disappear when logged out.
When I try a new, default install and test this it work fine -
but in the site I'm working on I can't stop the public link to
upload to the gallery category. It's obviously something I've
done or mis-configured in the back-end. For the purposes of this
site I've unpublished most of the usual Drake modules as I don't
need the functionality. What's the trigger to hid the 'submit'
front-end link when you log-out from the back-end?
I
have the Registration and Contact components switched off in the
Global Config and most of the modules unpublished except for
Menu. The site was built from scratch (from a new instal of
0.4.2).
Any ideas.......
If you're
interested the site is here (definitely not a typical Drake
site!!): http://www.poppysflowers.co.uk

In the admin backend, open the Menu -> usermenu page and then
remove the items that you don't like.
You can also set
a higher access level for them (for example, administrators).
Let me know if you fixed the problem

No, that didn't solve it. I deleted the upload a picture link
from the user menu as suggested but the on-page (i.e. in the
content area of the gallery category page) 'Submit a picture to
this category' link is still present after admin log-out!!!
I don't have the user menu module published if that makes
a difference.
Actually, I've just test published the
user menu which appears and then disappears from the front end of
the site after log-out as normal - all working correctly - it's
just the on-page link as mentioned above.

Oh, now I understand what you mean!
You have to change
the editgroup for that gallery category, e.g. set it to
administrators for example

By editgroup do you mean: components > Gallery > Categories
- then the Access group within my gallery category - because
changing that to say administrators stops the gallery being
viewable by the public in the front-end. I want the public to
view the gallery but not be able to upload new images to it -
only administrators.
Again a brand new default install
behaves correctly - It's just I've done something or an error has
occurred while building this particular site to course this
strange persistent link. But I've not modified any of the php
files in any way. I just can't work it out!

Perplexing...I understand what you are about...I have tried to
recreate the error but have had no luck...
On the
clean installs, have you backed up the Poppys site and then
restored it to the clean install.
The template that
you are using may also have something to do with the issue.

:| I have just realized that the editgroup is not customizable
for gallery categories! I will implement the feature and it will
be available in v0.4.3; meanwhile, to fix your installation,
please do this operation:
backup
your database (for safety)
go to the gallery
category page where there is this unwanted submit link
look at the URL and locate the catid=nn
part, take the number nn
go into
the admin backend and open the System -> Database -> Query
database page
[li]execute the following
query:
Code:
UPDATE dk_categories SET editgroup=5 WHERE
id=NN
be sure to replace NN with the number
you got in step 3[/li]
Now the submit link will be
shown to admins only

My compliments, I like very much the design!
Maybe
we have a new template artist here Please
note that with the next release the CSS may change and become
easier to understand and customize. The CSS restructuration is
planned for the next v0.4.3, but might shift to v0.4.4 if the CSS
developers do not finish it soon enough. I hope you will not have
major troubles with it; anyway, the CSS changes will be publicly
announced in the release news.

Just out of curiosity how do you think the error developed.
A standard install is OK, so it had to have something to
do with the customising of the site etc....

It is
not actually an error: the editgroup field is by default
assigned to Publishers for all categories. But, maybe the user has restored the database
from an earlier version...and maybe it was set to editgroup 1 in
the past (Registered users)

Well done people! The database query to change the editgroup did
the trick - the upload link is hidden from the public
front-end.
I'm not really sure how the editgroup for
this category became changed - if it should be set for
Publishers by default i.e. when the category is first created.
The whole site was re-built from the ground-up (no
database upload) in beta 0.4.1 and then a database back-up was
uploaded into a fresh 0.4.2 install - but at that point the image
gallery was not even started. The gallery was then added in the
0.4.2 version - it was at this point I noticed that the submit
image link was not disappearing as it should after an admin
log-out.
I'm not too worried about planned CSS changes
- I know the CSS styles for this site (at the moment) is a
mismatch of redundant and inherited entries from various beta
versions (I've been fiddling with this site from a very early
beta). When the Drake CSS implementation has settled down I will
clean up my styles, test on a off-line version and then update
the live site.

I noticed that your website has no "Powered by Drake
CMS" link.
Wouldn't be fair to show such link for
a free CMS for which you get some
free support?
Thanks
