User cannot upload images

[ionutaron]

I have Piwigo installed in a jail in a TrueNAS machine, with the community plugin installed. Here is the environment:

• Piwigo 12.2.0
• OS: FreeBSD
• PHP: 7.3.33
• MySQL: 5.5.5-10.5.13-MariaDB [2022-02-07 15:36:23]
• Graphics Library: External ImageMagick 7.1.0-13
• Community plugin version 12.b

I have a regular user named ionut that has access to the whole gallery, with high trust privileges and ability to create sub-albums. No limits on how many photos or disk space. This user is part of a group called Upload that has permissions for all the albums loaded (I've loaded some test albums while logged as administrator)

However, when I log in as ionut, I don't have the ability to upload pictures (there is no button that allows me to do that).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issues.

Piwigo 12.3.0
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 7.4.23
MySQL: 5.5.5-10.5.12-MariaDB-log
Graphics Library: ImageMagick 7.0.11-13

@ionutaron did you ever manage to get this to work?

[ionutaron]

@jonathanjuursema no, still not working...

Any updates on this? I am facing the same thing

Piwigo 13.1.0
PHP 7.4.3

Same Issue. I have to assign a user full administrator privileges to allow uploading.

[edit] Found my Piwigo version:
Piwigo 13.8.0
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 8.1.13
MySQL: 8.0.33-0ubuntu0.20.04.2
Graphics Library: GD 2.3.3
[end edit]

Community 12.c

PS: Found the maintenanceHere's what I did to get around it:

I set all users as Status = "Administrator" and Privacy level = "Admins" in the GUI.

Then I went and edited the /var/www/html/_data/templates_c/longvariablecharacters.file.menubar.tpl.php

Modified line 228 ( in this version ) from:

if ( ( isset($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['U_ADMIN']->value) ) ) {?>

to:

if ( ( isset($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['U_ADMIN']->value) ) and ( $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['USERNAME']->value === 'adminusernamehere' ) ) {?>

It's a hack I know... but now the piwigo android client will allow users to upload files with community.

I'm having the same issue that a non admin user is not able to upload in the Piwigo NG android app. It does not show the upload icon.

For me there is also no button shown, but the url https://domain.de/?add_photos still works.

The plugin will try to insert itself into the menu, which is probably disabled in your theme and or settings.
