The setting default: is for all users. If you need setting for the user Jack you can do as the following

Code:

Jack:
  edit_image_of: owner
  delete_image_of: owner
  upload_image_to: 134
  moderate_image: no
  create_gallery_to: sub, 134
  associate_image_to:
  present_image_to:
  replace_image_of: owner

Ok I will try this, it will be not easy with 40 Users and needs to be done for every new registration.
I wonder how you can find out the category number from a new registered user?
If there is no picture uploaded there is also no folder and no number!

Anyway thank for your help already.

One additional comment to the Piwigo developer, I wonder why user management is so complicated in Piwigo?
And why you need two extra Plugins to provide basic user management?
In my humbled opinion, user rights and edit/delete functions should be in the  basic settings of Piwigo.
May be I misunderstand the concept, please forgive me.
I am still happy to use Piwigo (for free) and I will continue my contribution by helping in translations.

Answer from ICY:

You don't need any settings in the plugin `community`. Actually those settings will be overwritten.

In Piwigo, an album hasn't owner, thats' why you can't use
   upload_image_to: owner
   # create_gallery_to: owner

(every settings ended by "_to" has the same problem)

For your gallery settings you can do as below
  * Create new gallery for each user (yes you have to do it manually or
    if you know some SQL you can do that in a geeky way.)
  * Create settings for group
  * Create settings for each user

Example (you don't need to use a Group whose name does exist in Piwigo, because you can use Reference in my plugin). The number 44 and 45 are just samples you may use other ones.

every_tom:
  edit_image_of: owner
  delete_image_of: owner
  moderate_image: no
  associate_image_to:
  present_image_to:
  replace_image_of: no
  upload_image_to:
  create_gallery_to:

tom1: @every_tom
  upload_image_to: sub 44
  create_gallery_to: sub 44

tom2: @every_tom
  upload_image_to: sub 45
  create_gallery_to: sub 45
 
# bla bla

Per-user setting is long, so many tasks, but this is feature: Piwigo doesn't support Album owner . This sounds annoyed but that helps you to create dynamic albums in Piwigo. I believe there are some reasons that Piwigo decides to do that (at the moment), but I am not sure why.

(Actually I can support "owner" for albums, but that requires a lot of work and it may be against Piwigo philosophy)

This implies that there is no way to set this up generically once and for all so that all tasks (new users and new galleries) can be done purely from the administration panel.

No there is no way to do that with my plugin.  For users, you can use Group (My plugin understands group from Piwigo system), but for new gallery there is no way so far.

If you know some PHP you can write a cronjob to generate configuration automatically.

I will take a look on your issue. However there is no clear plan for that in a near future.

Does edit_image_of work with groups or the keyword "any"?

I like to allow spezial users to help, but don't have full administrator rights.

Example:

# ### Moderatoren of galerie 2
~MOD-G2:
  upload_image_to: 2, sub
  edit_image_of: owner, ~group-xy
  create_gallery_to: 2, sub
  delete_image_of: any
  replace_image_of: any
  moderate_image: no

@Kalle: please upgrade to the latest version (v2.4.0) and you can use group when specify values for edit_image_of (and other _of fields. An example that allows any user belongs to the group "Authors" can edit an image of the users in the "Friends" group

Authors:
  edit_image_of: owner, Friends

Let me know if you have any problem with new feature.

> What do you proof as "Owner" ? 

"owner" means the one who uploaded the image.

> The Uploader (shown with the plugin "Photo added by" or the "Author"? Or both?

"Authors" in my example is just a group name. I'm sorry if this makes you confused.

My engish is not good. I try my best to show my idea in this example

[Github] icy_picture_modify file doc/icy_acl.zml.sample

Hope that helps.

> The members of a group are get from the Piwigo administrator menu, right?

Yes. Both groups and members are from Piwigo administrator

> So the following example should allow the members of the modgroup (on my system all groups start with ~) to edit or delete alle pictures of the members of the group ~g01

> Something is wrong. With previous additional lines, all users can modify alle other pictures. For that, it is not needed to be member of one of these groups.

Would you mind showing the full configuration? If that's so private you may use my personal issue kyanh at theslinux dot org .

(And please let me know the Piwigo version that you are using.)

Thanks,
