- Description
By default, creating a file gallery marks it as locked (the "Gallery is unlocked." checkbox is unckecked and the public property is disabled). This causes users other than the gallery's owner to be unable to upload files to galleries by default, even if they have tiki_p_upload_files on the relevant gallery.
There are several ways to see the problem:
- An object should not be created locked by default.
- The description of tiki_p_upload_files, "Can upload files", is misleading as it does not mention locking.
This can be considered as 2 different problems, but it would be prioritary to fix at least one, no matter which.
I think that by default "Gallery is unlocked" should be checked, but changing such a default would be dangerous if users relying on the current behavior don't realise the change. So I think my recommendation would be to replace the current checkbox with 2 radio boxes (labelled something like "Only owner can upload files" or "All users with permission can upload files"), with none selected by default.- Importance
