Make a default category for 'My Gallery' for new users?

[smooth]

Hey

Have recently installed Gallery Pro and have a quick question:
Can you make a  a default category for 'My Gallery' for new users? At the moment when they first register and go to their gallery, it is not obvious that you have to create a category in the My Gallery area before you can upload pictures. Is there any way round this?

Not built in currently would require some code but could be a good feature request.

Thank you! Will get it added as a suggestion.

I just installed Gallery Pro and it doesn't look like this has been added.  Am I missing the obvious?

There should be a main category on the main category page called "Member Galleries"

If not go to Admin -> Gallery Configuration -> Layout
"Show user gallery category on gallery index"
And make sure that above setting is checked.

The flow for a user would be to go to their MyGallery area setup and create categoreis in their MyGallery then upload images to their Galley.
You must give the membergroups the personal gallery permission in order for them to create and use their member gallery.

Yes, but I'd like for a "default" category to be created for this step, automatically.

I totally agree with this, it would be so much better if there was already a default category set up in each individual "Mygallery"!

Best wishes

Added for SMF Gallery 5.0
+Added setting to create a default personal category gallery for a user the first time they visit the gallery

When will that be available? It's probably one of the most important features possible for me - I didn't realise it wasn't a default feature before I bought Gallery Pro because I thought it was included with the user galleries feature.

It will be in SMF Gallery Pro 5.0 I will be posting a beta shortly with that feature.
