Hi,
I use Gallery3 for ~80 users. Each user have their own folder and only access to that.
If I would like to create a subfolder in each "user folder" the only option I've found is to do it manually and then change the permissions for each folder.

Is there an other way to create / duplicate a subfolder to every "user"?
Linux(debian) with mysql

No I don’t use that module. I’ve created ~80 users and assigned permissions / folder.

@flysen: Did you look at the module @suprsidr recommended? I think the recommendation is for you to start using the module. Is there something you're looking to do that the module wouldn't accomplish?

Thanks for your replies.
I've now tried the user_homes module, and yes that would have saved me time .
One thing that still is an issue... I'll give an example:

I inform all users that next week we need to take photos of cars. Then I create an album named "cars" in users "home folder" so they can upload their car-photos to it.
I've tried to let the users create their on folders earlier, gave them instructions to name it cars. That didn't work They named it cArs;carS;truck;motors;SAAB etc.

So I still looking for a more fashion way to create an album eg. called cars in every users home directory.

Regards
Fredrik

You should be using tags instead.
Users upload photos to their own user album but tag the photo "cars" instead of creating a new album called "cars"
Or say tag the photo "red", "car", "Ford", "Mustang"

This way photos could nave multiple tags and appear in multiple dynamic tag albums.
