    Hi,

    I have a very strange behavior of the plugin.
    In the page “Album Admin” I can see the list of the created albums.
    I see few that have been automatically created with my user name.

    The strange thing is that these default albums continue to grow in number.
    Basically everytime I do a refresh or any operation on albums one new album is added.

    How can I stop this behavior?

    Thanks a lot.

    Carlo

    This has been reported earlier, but i still can not reproduce this situation.
    Pls answer a few questions to make it easier to find the solution:

    – What are the settings of:
    Table IX-D9
    Table IX-D10
    Table IX-D11
    Table IX-D11.1

    – Please try what happens if you create a (dummy) album, and set IX-D11.0 to the default value (selection box) and Table IX-D11.1 to that dummy album.

    Table IX-D9: yes
    Table IX-D10: show name (sorry the interface is in a funny Italian, so I dont know the original)
    Table IX-D11 (Grant parent selection method) An album (multi)selection box
    Table IX-D11.1 (The parent album(s) of the auto created albums) it’s a long list of “carlo reverberi” albums (i think all those created automatically) + “separated” at the top.

    If it can help:
    after installation the plugin created automatically 2 albums for my user and everything was fine, no bug. But then I wanted to delete those, because I just need a sitewide album for all members. I started deleting one of the two (I dont remeber the features, it was probably “carlo reverberi” but in members?). Then I tried to delete the other one, but the bug started. The more I try to delete, the more albums are created.
    I tried to reinstall from scratch the plugin, also with database cleanup but some settings remain somewhere so again the bug is there…

    Thanks a lot. Just tell me if I can further help in some way.

    If it can help:
    I put “no” in Table IX-D9 and this behavior stopped.

    Is the only album selected in Table IX-D11.1: — separate — ? Did you even change this setting?

    Please do the following:

    Install and activate plugin Tweak option
    Find Tweak option in the tools menu and open it.

    Find option ‘wppa_grant_parent’ and tell me its value

    yes you are right, I also changed the setting in Table IX-D11.1 so now only –separate– is selected.
    Now I tried again to put “yes” in Table IX-D9. A new album with my user name was created. When I tried to delete it, another one was created again. Nevertheless it did not start to create multiple albums on my name as before.

    wppa_grant_parent: -1

    So it works correctly now? This means that the initialisation of the option wppa_grant_parent was probably wrong. ( -1 is good, it means —separate — ).
    I will look into the initialisation problem and will try to find a way that – even with wrong init – it will not create multiple albums anymore. Thanx for your help.

    Yes now it works fine. Actually, thanks for the great plugin! 🙂
    I looked for quite a while for a good sitewide gallery. Yours is the best (even though it can do much more).
