it would be very nice if there would be a front end uploader for the users which would be used to upload the media files instead of using the administration backend partially or the ftp. there should be full fleged ability of the user to upload using the set theme instead of using the admin backend and admin theme. A plugin would also do good if it is possible.

Quite a potential security problem so we will probably not add something like that. Same reason why the front end edit is gone now.

But feel free to provide a plugin if you feel this is needed.

Thank you for the tip. But I am a novice at writing codes in php and I am not sure whether i will be able to create any such kind of plugins. Any kind of support will be a great help for me. can i request for such a plugin from your side? just an earnest request...

If you are a novice at writing code it will surely exceed the possibilities of the forum. I recommend to take the time to learn the general coding basics elsewhere first.

Without being able to do it yourself you sadly have two choices for features you wish to see:
1. Open a ticket on our issue tracker for the feature. But there is no guarantee naturally if or when we consider that request at all. For this request the chances are not really good as mentioned.
2. You could hire someone.

i know the general basics but not an expert in creating the plugin. Thats the reason. Unfortunately i feel helpless. Still thank you a lot for your advice.

is there any way i can hide the zenphoto logo in the user uploader? actually i dont want to show my users what source i am using? is it possible?

You will have to modify the the admin css and you will have to do it again on any update.

But why do you want to hide that you are using a free open source tool?

if i continue to use with the zenphoto logo then it would be kind of viewing displeasure as the user might think where he/she may have been redirected to and also it would look like there is no link of the upload page with the rest of the website. In one word, its for the design compatibility as i am having no frontend uploading.

Ok, as you like. I don't understand why just telling your users what tool they use how is a problem though.

as a matter of fact, i am planning on removing the header but keeping the footer "powered by Zenphoto" so naturally the user comes to know what tool they are using.

Here is a plugin I copied/pasted together for a client with a similar wish.

Save the code as `zp-branding.php` and place it in the plugins folder.
Then activate the plugin.
`
<?php
$plugin_is_filter = 5|ADMIN_PLUGIN;
$plugin_description = gettext("Remove Zenphoto logo from the backend");

zp_register_filter('admin_head', 'zpBranding::customZpLogo');

class zpBranding {

static function customZpLogo() {
global $_zp_current_admin_obj,$_zp_admin_tab,$_zp_admin_subtab,$_zp_gallery;
if (zp_loggedin(ADMIN_RIGHTS)) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <!-- <![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#administration img#logo').css({'display':'none'});
});
// ]]> -->
</script>
<?php
}
}
}
?>
`

You should not encourage anyone to remove our logo ;-) And agood way, I completely forgot we of course have admin filters.

Thank you fretzl, i will be using it tomorrow and will let you know my feedback. By the way acrylian, can i encourage myself atleast?

@fretzl...i copied down your plugin and saved it with "zp-branding.php" and copied it to the plugins folder but unfortunately it doesnt show up in any of the subtabs of the plugins window. As a result, unable to activate the plugin.

when users are uploading from the backend they are not being able to upload as they are being shown that no album is selected. But in the register.php plugin options i have set to create an album automatically for the respective user. so what should i do?

Are those albums created? Are there errors in the log?

yes..and error free.

Sorry no idea then. I admit to never have used this function. My colleague probably knows more. Best you create another thread with a proper title for the issue so he spots it.

alrt.

@ayan: It should show up under the "all" tab.
It works fine on my install.
