Hi, i have multiple profiles managed by a single account and i can't seem to create an individual playlist for the profiles that i manage. All the playlists are created under the 'Master profiles' account.
is this how it's suppose to be ?
I would imagine that i would be able to create individual playlist for profiles in the same way i am able to add audio files for individual profiles.

Thanks

Yes, that is how its supposed to be.

The system is designed for a community of real users, not one user pretending to be many users.

When a user signs up they are given a profile. Their first profile is their HOME profile and that is where all their activity timeline updates get posted to.

In most cases 'one user has one profile' although it is possible for any one user to have many profiles. the USER is the person behind the keyboard. The PROFILE is where they display their stuff.

The playlist module is a USER based module, not a profile based module, so it attaches itself to the user. You will find it in the "User" section in the ACP.

It will only come out on the home profile of the user who is creating it.

It is possible to create a module to make it work how you're thinking but would take a lot of testing, especially if there actually were other users in the system. (Forums would be one location that would be hard to get working properly in this setup.)
