Re: Forum Members Deleted-Personal Gallery Information Retai
-----------------------------------
Hi krisbfunk,
this is not an error. there have been discussions on MG's site. Bottomline is that with FAP 1.4.0 the pictures of deleted members are not deleted. 

However, there is a 'fix' in the contributions folder. Have not tested it tho.

    - As Admin I can move pictures within all public and personal galleries. When doing that I noticed that there are still galleries from deleted users. I saw a thread from earlier this year for the old version. In the new version, if I delete a user, what happens to his pictures? Nothing seems to get deleted. If not automatically, is there a quick way to delete his personal gallery and the pictures therein. I am not so bothered about pictures of a user in the public gallery since it is public but wondered what happens...[/quote]


This is one of the things I've always been fought...

What I think is that if a user is deleted I wouldn't all his pictures being erased too... but this is my opinion.

Currently what happens is that pictures remain linked to the user_id, and the only risk is when you delete the latest available ID (which is having pics in the album) and another user will register taking the same ID and overtaking the pictures uploaded by the deleted user. I think that this is a really extreme situation.

Anyway Smartor Album 2.0.55 includes a fix for this... but since I'm not convinced this is the best way to go, I left the modification to be added in the docs folder, and I have not included it in standard FAP. If you think this is worth to be added, you can easily add it on your own.[/quote]
