Bug Administrator Can't Delete Pictures.

[fholbert]

Logged in as an Administrator I can't delete pictures that are not in an Album. Not even pictures I uploaded.

If an Album was created I do have the ability to delete pictures for myself and registered users.

I have the same issue with 3rd party skins and the default VB skin.

The Gallery was professionally loaded by DragonByte earlier this week. The forum is not yet in production and the Admin log-in I created for you is still available.

From looking at the code, this is working as intended. Images should always be attached to an album in order to correctly check permissions.

But users are allowed to upload photos without creating an album. When they do I have no way to delete the files.

All I need is a bunch of porn showing up on my aviation site with no way to delete it.

Could you please create and PM me with a temporary FTP and AdminCP account?

For security reasons, we recommend you create a new FTP account only for DBTech support, then disable or delete it after we have both confirmed the issue has been solved and there are no further issues.

The same applies to AdminCP accounts; they should ideally be temporary accounts created for us only. If we have created an account on your site already, you can optionally boost that account to Administrator and then de-admin this account once the issue has been solved.

If you use a .htaccess password protection for your AdminCP directory, it is recommended that you create a new authorised user for DBTech and remove this user once the issue has been solved.

Please test any temporary accounts you create to ensure that the FTP account has access to the forum files, and that the AdminCP account can access the administrative controls for the product we are assisting you with.

Ensuring this is all in order before submitting the information will significantly speed up the process of assisting you. We will alert you via PM if there's any issues with the login information you have provided.

When sending the PM, for your security you should also un-tick the "Save a copy in my Sent Items folder" checkbox. When the access details have been received, we will delete the PM from our inbox. Ensuring you have not kept a copy of the PM reduces the risk of security breaches.

Thank you for helping us debug our products and allowing us to assist you, we appreciate it

Update: I am unable to replicate this issue @ your site. I found a picture of a Cessna plane uploaded by SkyHawkII and I was able to delete it without issue.

Thanks for looking at this issue.

I've been logged in again and I'm at a loss how you were able to delete the picture without using FTP. Is there some documentation I'm missing because I'm finding none.

I clicked the picture -> Pencil icon to go into edit mode -> Delete button.

Are these the steps you attempted to take to delete the image as well?

Clearly I did not because it works when I do that. Thanks for your help.
