Basically a dupe of this: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...to-edit-users-album-title-as-an-admin.113190/

@Chris D this bug still exists in 1.1.6a

When deleted without giving a reason but still checking the 'alert'

To recreate;
- Delete an album or media item (hard delete)
- Check-box option to alert
- Don't type any reason to alert
- Error pops up

This certainly seemed specific to hard deleting an album, but regardless there is a fail-safe in place now to ensure this doesn't creep back in.

If you want to implement that yourself, edit the file library/XenGallery/Model/Media.php and find:

if ($options['authorAlert'])

And add on the line above:

unset($content['albumPermissions'], $album['albumPermissions']);
