Different root folder for every user

Post by anderbggo »

Hi,

Im using Joomla 4 and my aim is to get a menu item in which each user can only see their own photos. For example, user1 can only see photos stored on PhocaGallery/user1/..., user 2 -> PhocaGallery/user2, etc.

Is there a way to do that?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, in Phoca Gallery there is access rights rule for categories (albums), so mostly you create only one menu link and each user can see only those categories (albums) where he/she has rights to access.

I saw it, but is there an automatic way to to that?

My Joomla creates a folder every time a user registers and photos are stored in ther own folders automatically

Hi, in administration you can set which access rights will be set for subcategory created by user in frontend. But there is no automatic way for all categories.
