media authorid

[gregfuller]

I have noticed that that when an image is saved, the authorid in the images table is set to 0, but the authorid in the mediaproperties table has the proper authorid.

It seems that the ACL works off the authorid in the images table, because when I go in through phpmyadmin and put the proper authorid in the images table, my ACL group permissions regarding media work as expected.

If I leave it as it is, the group permissions (particularly "Administrate other user's media files") seem to be ignored. I'm on 1.4.1.

Am I missing something?

Thanks! --Greg

Hi!

Yes, in newer s9y versions the access privileges are stored on a per-directory basis. You can assign read/write permissions in the "Manage Directories" section of s9y. This is preferable to "per-image" privileges. The "old" way with authorid only exists for backwards compatibility.

HTH,
Garvin

Not a problem, for questions like these I'm here. If you find any issues with that management, please let me know.
