I am having a problem with other users. they can not edit or post their own album or images. they can see my (admin) stuff but can not comment or do anything themselves. i have Mediashare permissions set for admin and "users" to do everything: view, edit and add media but not "everybody", this is set in Mediashare access. i also have /modules/mediashare set to permissions 777 on the server as well as the media upload dir. i added the line required for .htacces..

RewriteRule ^mediashare/(vfsdb/[a-z0-9]+-[a-z]+\.[a-z]+)$ index.php?module=Mediashare&type=vfs_db&func=dump&ref=$1 [PT]

although my .htaccess is located in my database back-up dir, should htaccess be in the main dir? just wondering while i am asking.

any help appreciated

How does your permission scheme look like?

where would i go to get the main permission config list? module permissions? Because there is only like five permissions in the list: admins, group, users, unregistered users, unregistered users.
Or are you speaking of the Mediashare access permissions?
Here are Mediashare access permissions:

Group View Addalbum Addmedia Editalbum Editmedia
Admins x x x x x
Users x x x x
Everybody x



thanks

photoshare does not share either, eventhough i set photoshare permissions:

*Allow publishing of albums for individual users (makes the user list visible for Photoshare users)

*Allow users to present their albums without PostNuke frames

does anyone know why users can not create and share albums wiht others. they can only view my album. i have the same problem with Mediashare.

thanks

You must also add a permission setting for Mediashare in the normal PostNuke module permission list. Something like "users:Mediashare:add" - I'm quite sure this is described in the readme file for Mediashare.

ok folks i have permissions set as i should in PN permissions per Mediashare "readme":

PERMISSIONS
===========

Group Component Instance Permission
All groups mediashare:: .* read
Users mediashare:: .* edit

This will give all users access to viewing published albums, and "Editors"
access to create albums.

others "users" still cannot create nor edit images or make thier own albums to share.

Note I also have Mediashare permissions set for users.
Is their anyone whi knows how to solve this problem or what i could possibly be doing wrong?

thanks for input

Group Component Instance Permission
All groups mediashare:: .* read
Users mediashare:: .* edit

Jorn, you need to fix this... as it is confusing to some.

The permissions go the other way, not that Jorn is suggesting that they go in this order, but it may seem to some that they should.

Proper order:

Users mediashare:: .* edit
All groups mediashare:: .* read

Please give us a complete list of your perms.

this is the best i can do for a list of permissions. i am not sure if i have them correct or not: This is the set-up in the pnpermissions module. i do not know how to dig deeper for more information.

1 Admins .* .* Admin
2 All groups Menublock:: Main Menu:Administration: None
3 Users mediashare:: .* Edit
4 All groups mediashare:: .* Read
5 Users .* .* Comment
6 Unregistered Menublock:: Main Menu:(My Account|Logout|Submit News): None
7 Unregistered .* .* Read

thanks

it worked. changing the order is the key!
thanks again ammo, your the man.

i have nearly got my set-up ready.
I have two more question regarding Mediashare.

can anyone tell me how to activate the flash player controls when a video plays? the video plays but you have no control over stop, starting and pausing.

also, the icon for the video in the media list just has the generic macromedia logo on it, not the beginning of the video is there anyway to change this?

if anyone has suggestions please let me know.
thanks again

The problem is that flash in itself has no such controls. If you use a mpeg video then you will have the controls. A flash file is (to my understanding) just a program to run in the browser - it chooses itself whether to display controls or not.



No, that requires a PHP-based video decoder to read the first frame of the video. If the video is embedded in flash then it becomes even more difficult.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix it.
