[BUG] new default albums are created every refresh

This has been reported earlier, but i still can not reproduce this situation.
Pls answer a few questions to make it easier to find the solution:

– What are the settings of:
Table IX-D9
Table IX-D10
Table IX-D11
Table IX-D11.1

– Please try what happens if you create a (dummy) album, and set IX-D11.0 to the default value (selection box) and Table IX-D11.1 to that dummy album.

Table IX-D9: yes
Table IX-D10: show name (sorry the interface is in a funny Italian, so I dont know the original)
Table IX-D11 (Grant parent selection method) An album (multi)selection box
Table IX-D11.1 (The parent album(s) of the auto created albums) it’s a long list of “carlo reverberi” albums (i think all those created automatically) + “separated” at the top.

If it can help:
after installation the plugin created automatically 2 albums for my user and everything was fine, no bug. But then I wanted to delete those, because I just need a sitewide album for all members. I started deleting one of the two (I dont remeber the features, it was probably “carlo reverberi” but in members?). Then I tried to delete the other one, but the bug started. The more I try to delete, the more albums are created.
I tried to reinstall from scratch the plugin, also with database cleanup but some settings remain somewhere so again the bug is there…

Thanks a lot. Just tell me if I can further help in some way.

If it can help:
I put “no” in Table IX-D9 and this behavior stopped.

Is the only album selected in Table IX-D11.1: — separate — ? Did you even change this setting?

Please do the following:

Install and activate plugin Tweak option
Find Tweak option in the tools menu and open it.

Find option ‘wppa_grant_parent’ and tell me its value

yes you are right, I also changed the setting in Table IX-D11.1 so now only –separate– is selected.
Now I tried again to put “yes” in Table IX-D9. A new album with my user name was created. When I tried to delete it, another one was created again. Nevertheless it did not start to create multiple albums on my name as before.

wppa_grant_parent: -1

So it works correctly now? This means that the initialisation of the option wppa_grant_parent was probably wrong. ( -1 is good, it means —separate — ).
I will look into the initialisation problem and will try to find a way that – even with wrong init – it will not create multiple albums anymore. Thanx for your help.

Yes now it works fine. Actually, thanks for the great plugin! ??
I looked for quite a while for a good sitewide gallery. Yours is the best (even though it can do much more).
