I apologize if this question has been asked and answered :). I did a quick search and didn't see anything related to this topic, and if I missed something in the admin control panel, then I also apologize :)

[ok, that aside]

Just recently installed Gallery 3.0.4, and imported all of my albums/photos/etc from Gallery 2.

The issue in question is the fact that I have one particular album that is password protected and only viewable by myself (admin).

What I have discovered is that I needed to un-install the image block, slide-show, and RSS feeds, because they all will allow me as a non-admin user to see images from the password-protected album. While this isn't the end of the world, I really like these features, and would like to use them, but not if they allow any user to see pictures from this particular album.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

David

Use permissions and not the password module.

I hate to be stupid, but can you be more specific? From what I can see, the permissions for the album in question appear to be properly set (unless I am being dense and missing something!).

I went to a separate computer where I wasn't identified as the Admin user, and I was able to view pictures in this album (via the random image block)

Thanks!

Please create a test album that has this scenario.
As I can't reproduce.
From the screen shot it looks like the admin can only access the xxxxxx album.
