Hi Roger,

I don't know if this is a bug or there is something I don't understand about the configuration.

I have user settings enabled to "Allow visitors to create accounts" and "Require administrator approval to activate account". This feature works properly (I approve the account and the user is able to log in).

I also have "Enable user albums" selected.

With "Require administrator approval to activate account" enabled however, a user album is not created when the user logs in. With "Require administrator approval to activate account" disabled, a user album does get created when the user logs in.

Thanks for your patience.

John

I tried to repro this with the same settings, but can't.

Note that GSP checks to make sure a user album is created on every page load, so if the user logs in and is browsing around, and still doesn't get a user album, then GSP must think he doesn't want one. Have the user check their account page to see if their preference for a user album is turned off. It should be enabled by default.

Thanks for the reply Roger. My alzheimer's tripped me up.

Your explanation reminded me of a reply you posted to the question about "Restricting Album Creation" on June 8, 2009.

Quote:

Hey, good news! You can edit web.config to disable each user's album by default. Look for this line:

Code:
<add name="EnableUserAlbum" defaultValue="true" type="String" allowAnonymous="false"/>

Change the default value to false:

Code:
<add name="EnableUserAlbum" defaultValue="false" type="String" allowAnonymous="false"/>


I had made the change and forgotten about it.

There are some users I want to give permission to create personal albums and others I don't want to allow.

Regards,

John
