 * I’m running WordPress MU 2.9.2 and NextGen Gallery 1.5.1
 * When I click ‘Add Gallery / Images’ I only get the options to ‘Add new gallery’
   or ‘Upload Images’ the ‘Upload a Zip-File’ and ‘Import image folder’ options 
   are both missing?
 * Please can you help?

 * OK – I’ve answered half of my own question…
 * I’ve found how to get the ‘Upload a Zip-File’ option to be displayed.
 * Under ‘Site Admin’ click ‘NextGEN Gallery’ then tick the box next to ‘Enable 
   zip upload option:’ – Easy once you know how;-)
 * Still have no idea how to get the ‘Import image folder’ option to show.
 * Any ideas?

 * LOL – I think I’ve answered the second part of my question too.
 * In the file ‘addgallery.php’ at lines 267-268 there is the following if statement…
 *  if (!IS_WPMU && nggGallery::current_user_can( ‘NextGEN Import image folder’ ))
   
   $tabs[‘importfolder’] = __(‘Import image folder’, ‘nggallery’);
 * This checks amongst other things whether or not you are using WordPress MU. If
   you are using MU, like I am, then you are not shown the ‘Import image folder’
   option. I can only imagine this is to stop directory browsing to other blogs 
   on the same web server as a matter of security – it does however stop me using
   a good feature of NextGEN Gallery.
 * **Alex – is there any other way this feature can be resticted?** At present I
   have just amended line 267 to read…
 * if (nggGallery::current_user_can( ‘NextGEN Import image folder’ ) )
 * to get me round this issue.

 * In the first version is by design not allowed to import for WPMU blogs, when 
   I catch some time I will make it more flexible…
