Can anyone help with this problem?  I have an RS role as administrator and I'm trying to setup a user as a ngg administrator.

My user has a WP role of subscriber - but that is considerably extended through use of RS.

In RS I can assign my user a general role as 'gallery administrator' in Assign General Roles. And they are indeed listed as having a 'Gallery Administrator' assignment for ngg on that screen.  But this user still doesn't have that assignment on their user profile page and still cannot create an ng gallery.

On the Ngg Gallery Roles page (Under 'Roles' on the Dash), there is no Gallery Administrator option under the 'Default for new Galleries'.

When, as administrator, I click the 'Defaults for new Galleries' option I get a message screen that says "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page".  So I don't seem to be able to set 'Gallery Administrator' as the default or for any existing galleries.

Can anyone help? I seem to have tried every option I can think of to allow this user to create a gallery (although they can manage existing galleries)  The approach of allowing specific users to do specific tasks has worked well for me in other areas of RS - but not here!

(BTW I'm using WP 2.8.4  RS 1.1.5, RS for NGG 0.9.5)

Thank you for any help.

Hi Kevin

Apologies I forgot that vital info - I'm using Ngg version 1.4.3.

I've subsequently downgraded to ngg 1.4.2 then 1.4.1 - and each time been unsuccessful in assigning the gallery administrator role, and still getting the lack of permissions message when logged in as administrator.

Many thanks for your time Kevin. 

(And thanks from St Francis Church Primary School in Birmingham, Uk for creating, making available and supporting such a vital plugin.)

Hi Kevin 

As you suggested, I checked that 'Display User Roles' was selected (it was) and I uploaded the Development snapshot — lo and behold my user can now create new galleries!

Thank you so very much for your time to help us.

Another tack - I'm looking forward to trying out your new Revisionary extension which maybe just the thing that'll help us reach our goal in school of having older kids revising and moderating posts written by littler kids.  If so it'll be a great co-operative learning experience for them…..

Best wishes.

(BTW when I'm logged in as Administrator and go to Roles>NGG Galleries>Section 3:Select Roles to Assign / Remove>DEFAULTS for new galleries  I still get sent to a page that says I do not have enough permissions to access the page - this is the url: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=rs-object_role_edit&src_name=ngg_gallery&object_type=ngg_gallery&object_id=0&object_name=DEFAULTS%26nbsp%3Bfor%26nbsp%3Bnew%26nbsp%3BNGG%26nbsp%3BGalleries . Not that it worries me as I can now set the users up as required!)

Derrr…

Have done now!

Thanks…..

I'm not seeing this with the current code on my test installation. I don't think anything relevant has changed since your download, but just to be sure can you install the updated Role Scoper development snapshot before I chase this any further?

Just to clarify, it is a logged Administrator who is unable to store a Gallery Editor role? Do you have the same problem for a lesser user who is granted a General Role of Gallery Administrator?

It's a logged on Administrator who gets an unauthorized message when clicking on any of the gallery links (or defaults link).

I've not had a chance to check with a different user yet - I'll do that as soon as I get a moment and I'll report back.

Oh, I see - you get that error message when clicking on the linked Gallery Name. That's supposed to bring up a separate form for manually editing roles for that individual gallery. You don't have to do it that way - in most cases it's just as easy to select your users/groups and roles from among in the Bulk Admin form and then click the Update button.

But this is a legitimate bug that I'll fix in the next Role Scoper release.
