Settings doesn’t stay
-
Jacob, I have an issue with album creation for autors. When an autor creats an album and puts on a parent album it all looks fine, but the parent album setting doesn’t stay. When comming back to the new album the parent setting is blank. If I do it as admin, it works as expected. Is this a setting issue or is it a bug?

I can not reproduce this.
Do the have Album Admin access in Table VII-A?
Does it say ‘Parent album of album 6 updated’ in green on the album admin page?When comming back to the new album the parent setting is blank
The album selection box has no blank element…
Pls give some more info
Jacob
The Aughtor ad Admin has album access in Table VII-A. I have a test user and my admin user, so I can test bouth. I can see both views. I have an idea on this now. When creating an album as an Aughtor the parent field is pre populated with (probably) the latest parent used. If I don’t change that, the fielt comes out blank, but if I activly changes the field then it works.
Maybe you specified a parent album in Table IX-D7.1 and you deleted the album afterwards?
Jacob
No, nothing in IX-D7.1. And the pre populated suggestion excists.

This is strange. I would like to know what is actually in the db as item a_parent.
Pls do the following:– create such an album.
– go to Table XII.
– on the first line click on the link: Download wp_wppa_albums.csv
open the .csv in a text editor, you will see something like:id,name,description,a_order,main_photo,a_parent,p_order_by,….
1,Members,”Parent of the member albums”,0,-4,0,0,….
2,opajaap,”Default photo album for opajaap”,0,0,1,0,….
4,”Kimmy Breetvelt”,”Default photo album for Kimmy Breetvelt”,0,0,1,0,….
6,”New Album”,,0,0,0,0,
7,”Box A”,”Pdf en Multi media”,0,0,0,0,….Jacob
I need to create a new album as Aughtor. Only then I get a Parent Suggestion. If I create the album as Admin, the filed is empty.
I did an album as Admin (empty Parent Suggestion) and then as my test driver “P Rova” (got Parent Suggestion). Then changed back to Admin to pich up the db, and this is what I have in the beginnig and the end of the db.
Beginning:
id,name,description,a_order,main_photo,a_parent,p_order_by,cover_linktype,cover_linkpage,owner,timestamp,upload_limit,alt_thumbsize,default_tags,cover_type,suba_order_by,views,cats,scheduledtm,modified,crypt,custom,treecounts,wmfile,wmpos,indexdtm,sname

[wppa]): for admin always, for non-admin only if it is not empty or if the user is the creator (owner) of the album.
On the Album admin page (the table of albums) you should see:--- none ---in the Parent column.
If you see something else, try to set wp Site Language to English (United States) for a while (could be a translation issue) or refresh the browser ( press CTRL+F5 ).
If nothing helps, pls send me login details as admin. Mail me at opajaap at opajaap dot nlWell, refreshing the browser will not help as this is something all Aughtors are experiencing. I don’t think it’s a translation issue as we are delaing with a field that presents a parent but in fact is empty.
As an amateur, I think that the suggested parent populated in the field for Aughtors is something that just shows up on the screen but doesn’t have impact in the db. Can there be some garbage remaining that fills the field? Can you by force empty the field before it is presented?
As the result comes out correct as soon as the Aughtor changes the content of the filed, the presented pre populated parent must be a hoax.
Do the users have the blue ‘Create New empty album’ button above the table?
On my testsite a non admin can only create sub-albums below his auto created album.
How do they create the album?Yes, the Aughtor has the blue button and this button is used to create new sub-albums. They can also technically create “parent” albums, that’s what they get as the parent field is playing tricks, but that’s not what we want to do.

Ok, I found the solution.
The album shown in the selectionbox is simply the top one of the list, because the choice —none— is missing.
In your configuration where the user has the blue button, he should be able to set the parent to —none—.
So, it works correctly, and i will make sure there will not be this confusion anymore in the next version.Super, Jacob! Thank you for all your efforts!
