I installed G3 about 18 months ago for a trial project. For it to achieve the required behaviour I used the following two modules: - Admin Permissions - stops non-admins being able to edit permissions Returning to G3 now for a new project, I require the same modules. However, they are no longer listed on the G3 modules page, and there seems very little reference to them ever having existed. Is there a reason why they have disappeared? Can I achieve the same capability in some other way? Any advice much appreciated. |

I know nothing about those. (I don't remember non-admins being able to edit permissions.)
User albums = user home? http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:user_homes
whatever the case, if you have them on another site, no reason why you can't copy them to the new site as well.

Thanks for your reply. You are right, I could copy them to the new site - just concerned there's a reason why they have been removed.
After a bit more digging I realise that the Admin Permissions module was authored by one of the Gallery team, whose page has a dead link to it, which at least confirms its intentional removal (and that I wasn't imagining things): http://codex.galleryproject.org/User:Floridave.

No, that page exists: http://codex.galleryproject.org/User:Floridave
As does @floridave: http://galleryproject.org/user/31463

Yes, that page exists, on it there is a dead link to the Admin Permissions module. Well a link to a page saying that the module was deleted.

Oh, I see. (The link you posted had a period at the end--thus gave me a 404 the first time.)
Whatever that module did has likely been folded into Gallery's core permissions.

That's what I was hoping. Thanks for your time.

The http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:remove_actions module replaced the http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:admin_permissions module.
I should have perhaps put up a redirect on the admin_permissions module but the way the codex works is the module list is over 100 now and the modules with x, y, and z names are pushed off to the next page.
The codex does not have a admin setting for the 100 it is a file on the server that would have to be created.

Ah, great, thanks very much for that Dave. I'm very impressed with the support here. Look forward to getting stuck in properly with Gallery3.
