I am not at all certain of the terminology to use but searched and did not find answer to...

Does G2 have the ability to assign an Album to a user after the user has registered? By Album I mean a Home Album, something that the user can jump to as in "Your Album", after they are already registered and logged in? I recall asking a couple years ago but answer at that time was no.

Anything like this exist?

You can set the user albums module to create on first access, meaning not until they click that "Your Album" link.

Tx for this response. Yes, this works... clicking Your Album with first access selected.

Prob is, and I just posted this in another post, is I have bolted ZenCart on to G2. Joomla -> G2 -> Zencart. With ZC enabled, autocreation of albums hangs. The other post articulates why. This of course adds to the complexity of all this.

A temp workaround, a manual one sigh, is to create album then assign it to a user. But until I can chase down the J/G2/ZC autocreation solution, was poking around for a short term, manual kludge. Everything in that triad is working which is really excellent, except album autocreation...

Again, tx for your response(s). You cracked it for me Sunday eve and got me much farther down the road.
