Hello Neel,

I am sorry but unfortunately that is not possible currently in EasySocial.

oh no... thats a real shame cuz I really need this one. This is because I already have a gallery where users have uploaded their photos. I was planning to scrape the gallery fully and hoping to move those images over to ES (I just presumed this would be possible and never thought of asking this before). If I am unable to post them in ES albums then I will loose all of those images which is not good. Is there any way at all please? I mean since it cant be done in ES, would I be able to upload all of them as admin first and then go to the Database and change the user id or username from phpmyadmin directly? Will that be possible or is it too complicated with interconnecting tables that can break things?

Hello Neel,

Hm, that would be a little tricky but it's possible though. You could upload them all as admin but later change the author id in the database See #__social_photos and #__social_albums

Okay.. I will do the edit to those db tables. If not I was also thinking of another way: I can manually change the users password from back end, login as that user, upload the photos and then email the user notifying the password has been reset. This might get annoying for some users but still it might be a safer option that messing with the db. I will see which works best in my case. Thanks Mark.

You are most welcome Neel Yeah, either way works

If you really want to do this manually no need to change passwords. You can use one of the myriad plugins to login as another user (they do work with Easysocial):

Nice, thanks for sharing Jozsef!

Thank you so much Jozsef! I wasn't aware of that. This is very useful. Thanks for taking the time to tell me about this,

Cheers!
