This is probably not a bug, most likely a lack of understanding on my part about how Albums and Media permissions work.  I enabled the Media Gallery and created an album.  I am not sure how to allow all users to post to pictures on their posts.  When I click on upload media file I get:
Sorry, but you do not have permission to upload this type of item to this gallery

I migrated my forum to a test site, not sure if the settings that came over a causing this or just plain ignorance.

Aeva Media's permission system is:

1/ Extremely powerful
2/ Frighteningly complicated

In my defense:

1/ One doesn't go without the other, generally...
2/ And I'm not the one who wrote permissions for AeMe :P

Migration doesn't support AeMe at all (until further notice™), so for now, you're not going to be able to use your galleries directly.
In the meantime, all I can say is that the difference between AeMe for SMF and Wedge's gallery system is the lack of a db-aeva.php file. That file runs a lot of queries to make 'stuff' happen, and I recently noticed that I forgot to port it, or at least part of it... For instance, generic icons aren't inserted into the database, apart from the 4 basic ones (video, audio, etc.)

This is still an alpha, so it's to be expected, I guess..!

About the media gallery. On my forum, admins and moderators can upload in the media gallery but other users can't. I've been trying to work this one out for months but I just can't.

It always says that they don't have the right to upload though I've given them almost all the permissions for media per group...

And you're not getting any errors in the log..?

Did you try creating a fake account for yourself?

Are quotas set properly?
Code: [Select]

Désolé, mais vous n'avez pas l'autorisation d'envoyer ce type d'élément dans cet album

Did not try the fake account but will do so. I think the quotas are fine too. I'll try both and come back later :)

Quotas :
Code: [Select]
Taille maximale par fichier: Image - 999999 Ko, Vidéo - 999999 Ko, Audio - 999999 Ko, Document - 999999 Ko

Perhaps it's too big ? :^^;:
