if you choose to use the album passwords, then users are asked to enter this specific password when clicking on the album.
but if the album item is still non-public, users will have to login to see that album.

Well, My album is public. I was under the impression that it didnt matter if you were logged in or not, it would ask for a password and grant you access if you had the right password.
I have attached a picture of what comes up when I try to enter a public album, under password protection. It asks for a username and a password. I have tried many different combos, no success. Does anyone know what the username is? maybe its the same for all pass-protected albums, since it dosnt require you to specify a username. Leaving username blank dosnt work either.
Thanks for the help. This would be great to see work...

so, i had to install the module to see what i'm talking about.
ok, enter anything as username and enter the album password as password in this authentication popup.
it works for me.
e.g.
- i leave the username field empty, and enter the correct album password in the password field.
- or i enter blablabla in the username field, and enter the correct album password in the password field.
the popup disappears, the page refreshes and shows the album

Hmm... It just seems to not accept the input. And then askes again, and in the IE case, after three attemps it just says : Unauthorized!
I will play some more. Could this be a web browswer setting maybe?

no, i tried it in IE and FF.
make sure you're not using caps-lock (keyboard ;) ).
and make sure you're entering the correct password. maybe start with something as simple as "hello".

that is odd. I am using ver1.5.2, not sure of the release.... could that be the problem? maybe I need the most up to date version of Gallery.
I just installed it about 2 weeks ago, so I hope that I have the most current...however I know stuff happens..maybe I d/l an older copy.
Thanks for the quick responses.

this is a G2 forum, discussing the G2 albumpasswd module.
v1.5.2 can only be Gallery 1. so try it in the G1 forums.

Sorry... That is my wordpress version...please excuse. I am running Gallery 2.
What version of the module did you run? I am running 0.8.1
It still just keeps asking for the password and never lets me in.
I have even tried this module on another site of mine, which is pretty much a straight install not many modifications... no go.
I even tried lowering all my browsers security settings, still nothing. I guess its not a browser problem.
Oh well Hopefully a full blown plug-in will be made
I will vote for it now!
Thanks for your time...much appreciated.

Hidden items from gallery-contrib on sourceforge will make this module obsolete, I think. I haven't tried it to see how the password is requested.. if http-auth then it will have the same php-cgi problem as albumpasswd.

Hi,
is it possible to make it form-based, instead of the popup-auth window?

Has anything been done about this? I'm on PHP-CGI, and I have the same problem mentioned in this script. Has it been refined recently - did the SoC work yield anything?

What about a preformated URL which incorporates a crypted username and a password. So when you click the link, which could be put in an email or on a page, you are logged in and can see the album(s). This approach shouldn´t be problem for the G2 permission system. This user should of course not be able to change his own password. To make things comfortable there could be a php script which automatically creates such a user and the crypted link.

Any help on making albumpasswd to work with gallery 2.1? Upgraded without making database badckups and now im stuck with this error ->
Fatal error: Class 'GalleryStatus' not found in C:\Apps\Apache2\htdocs\gallery2\modules\albumpasswd\module.inc on line 98
Dont quite undestand php but this link points to instruction to change code.
i have started on the new password module, using session based permissions.. just work in progress at this point. hope to have more in the next couple weeks.
(mikjus, if you want to update the old albumpasswd code look for the convert.pl script from that link... or wait for the new module)

How can i run that script on windows 2003 based server? Or can anyone supply modified code?
I'm glad to hear that you are working on new version. I'm not using user accounts with my gallery so its easy to protect some albums with password.

a cleaned up password module is in the latest nightly snapshot of g 2.1.
get the g2 "2.1-soon" version from jesse mullan's nightly snapshot server.

vialant, I understand updating Gallery to 2.1-soon-nightly helps? This version is stable? Is the password module already included?
? what did i say in my last post?? yes.

Terrific module. thanks for everyone that worked and publicized it.
There is a way to get around it though through playing with the urls somehow (I'm not gonna say how though. if you're a developer email me).
I found the fix to be changing the following line in module.inc, [line 91]:
Quote:
if ($view == 'core.ShowItem') {
to be:
Quote:
if (($view == 'core.ShowItem') || ($view == 'core.DownloadItem')) {
This will protect your images even if you allow hotlinking.
I hope this can be tested further and added to the hosted file.

obviously you're not using the module that is in G2.1 RC1 / current nightly snapshot, because the code is different from the module posted in this thread.
please try the latest nightly snapshot and if you find a security issue, file it at security at menalto.com, if it's just a bug, file it on http://sf.net/project/gallery/
thanks.

read the posts above.. albumpasswd module is obsolete, 2.1 includes new password module.
ask elsewhere for the other two to see if they have been updated for 2.1.

give it a try on your computer...the password is 'hello'
