The user error is because the users are to be managed from within xoops. You can only use that area from within coppermine as a standalone app.
If you selected 'post based groups' in the bridge manager your groups page will have all the individual groups as set up in XOOPS and permissions for uploading and in albums can be set for them.

So for the path you have to put it into you template manually or else use a menu module like many available in the navigation section of the modules page

I'm guessing you put the gallery in {xoops}/modules/{gallery folder} right?
Xoops checks for invalid modules so it wont work in there. Shift it to something like {xoops}/photogallery/ thats where i have mine. As long as it isnt in the module folder i think it should be ok.

Peekay
Umm I'm not sure although i think if XOOPS security could be comprimised you could get into coppermine although not in the reverse as coppermine just uses existing cookies from XOOPS rather than going into the database etc. Don't quote me on that one though

If your logged into XOOPS your logged into coppermine including permissions. So webmaster gets all the admin tools and basic users can do only what you allow them ie add comments or what ever you set. The only thing not integrated is the themes.

Hello

If you are looking for a photo gallery for XOOPS i firstly say you cannot go past coppermine. Its well worth a try. The first thing to note as it is a standalone package rather than an integrated module but uses a bridging module in coppermine to integrate the user accounts from xoops. I have been following the project since they released the 1.4 beta version with XOOPS support after i was dissapointed with xcgal (which is actually a coppermine version 1 port to xoops) never being updated. As this is a whole new package it does take a little getting used to and configuring although all is relatively simple.
The only major downfall I see at the moment is the application of templates. This is unfortunately a manual task from which I had to create my self. I am happy to give tips for anyone willing to try as I have mine working great for me including permissions etc.
That aside this gallery is feature packed. You can have passworded galleries, hidden galleries viewable to chosen XOOPS groups, comments, ratings, videos, automatic thumbnails (with imagemagic or other software installed on the server), slide shows, rotation of the images and so much more.
Adding images to the site is the main draw card in my mine. If anyone has noticed the option "publish these images to web" inside windows xp and not known what it means read on. If you select a folder, individual or multiple images from you computer and click this it begins the process to upload them to your site. First you log in then select the album to upload to or create a new one. Then you select the image size and your done. Windows resizes the images before it uploads them to make the process faster. Once complete you just pop into your site and edit the captions if you wish. That simple, alternatively you can upload to a folder via ftp then use the batch upload function to add the files to the albums and create thumbnails. Of course there is still the normal upload page to add any amount of images you choose.
I think these are the major features anyway. All I can say is give it a try. Install it to a separate folder on your site and test it out. As always read the documentation first, the process is simple but things can go wrong. I have had no problems what so ever.

If you have any questions or problems I'm more than happy to help

I say go for coppermine. They released version 1.4.2 stable a week ago and it integrates with XOOPS great. It is effectivly a standalone site but integrates all the usernames and logins etc from XOOPS into though a bridging module. I have been using it for 6 months now and it is by far the best photogallery i have used.
You are even able to upload pictures from the 'publish to web' option within windows xp its self and automatically reizes the images before uploading them. This is by far the killer feature for me. All i do is download images from my camera to a fold on my pc. Click the publish to web button and presto they are on my site. All i need to do is edit the captions and its done.

I can confirm coppermine 1.4.2 works great with xoops. I have been using it now since the 1.4.1 beta came out nearly 6 months ago and besides a couple bugs its works flawlessly. Although it is effectivly 2 seperate standalone sites rather than a module they work together fine.

Hi
I am having the same problem. A long time ago and a lot of versions back it worked but thinking back i don't think its been working since version 2.2 upgrade. Hasn't been much of an issue until recently i am getting more and more friends registering and would like to know. My activation type is to activate automatically.

All other notifications work ok, ie when new items are posed etc

Xoops 2.2.3
PHP Version Hardened-PHP Version 4.3.11/0.2.7
Mysql 4.0.25

I find this odd.

I assume the default time zone set in the prefs would mean all new users would be set to that unless they specifically changed it while registering. For me at the moment all new users are set to GMT making all times on the site 12 hours out since I'm in New Zealand and 99% of people using my site are in NZ. I would like the make the default timezone when signing up the same as default timezone in the site prefs.

I have temporarly worked around this buy saying my server is actually at GMT evening things up.

I get the error

"Could not register new user."

when i try register as new user with this method. Any ideas. I'm not sure how to show debug info if you are not logged in as webmaster. It will let me add one from the administration area though.

yeah i would like to do this also. Set the default notification method for new users to email, mine seems to be set at "temporary disabled" by default unless they chenge the drop box while registering
