Hi
Can any one assist me with a problem I am having with this gallery. I have got all the gallery working fine. But I want to get the image manager working on the front end of joomla. So users can upload new images to the gallery. I have made a new menu item and selected "Image Manager " . I have made it public to see if that works that does'nt work. Is there anything I got to do or turn on to make the Image Manager appear ?

Image manager cannot be accessible for public users, because it can be used in a wrong way and it would be a serious security risk.

But, if your site is used on some intranet page, where all the users are trustworthy you can enable it for everyone, but you have to make a small code change:
"components\com_admirorgallery\views\imagemanager\view.html.php"

Code: Select all

$validUsers = array(5 /*Publisher*/,6/*Manager*/,7/*Administrator*/,8/*Super Users*/);
Just add 0, like this:

Code: Select all

$validUsers = array(1/*Public*/,5 /*Publisher*/,6/*Manager*/,7/*Administrator*/,8/*Super Users*/);
I add comments for easy understanding, comments are not mandatory.

We are not utilizing the new Access control that was introduced with Joomla 2.5 so, changing the access level from Menu Item property page has no effect.

What would I need to add to give image manager access to registered users?

You should add 2 for Registered Users :)
