Hello,

I have recently installed both myAlbum-P and xcGallery 2, testing both to see which I prefer. I like the slideshow functionality in xcGallery.

I would like to have have two categories:
Holidays
and
Bushwalking

Each category would have albums/subcategories for different holidays or bushwalking trips.

For example:
Holidays > Easter Island (Easter Island being the album/subcategory)
or
Bushwalking > Kakadu (Kakadu being the album/subcategory)

Each album/subcategory would then hold the photos for that holiday or bushwalk.

In myAlbum-P this seems to be relatively simple to set up, where I created such a structure and started placing photos in the subcategories.

Whereas, in xcGallery, I create a Category, such as 'Holidays', but whenever I add an album it is always added under "User Galleries".
Oddly, the User Galleries category is only displayed on-screen in the top page of xcGallery when I add albums. When there are no albums only the two categories, Holidays and Bushwalking, are listed.

How do I set up a gallery structure as proposed above with xcGaller? How do I add albums under the categories I created? I did not wish to use the category 'User galleries" at all.

any assistance is welcome.

Kind regards,
DJDrD

For anyone else, if anyone else needs it, it seems that only the admin user can add albums to the categories set up in the Module Administration pages. Users can only create albums in the "User galleries" category set up by default.

Registered Usres, or Anon users if they are allowed in the Module preferences, can add photos to the albums created by the admin, or anyone else, if they are given permission in the Album properties page (from "Modify albums").
