Hi Guys,

I am trying to allow "everybody" to see one of my sub-albums and the contents of it. I have set the permissions for the sub-album as everybody can view all sizes of picture, and read comments. It is not being shown uunless I log in though. If I set the "everybody" permission on my top level directory I can see all of the sub albums. How dod I get just one sub album shown??

Thanks

ANdy

it should work by going to the sub-album, there click on the edit permissions link in the sidebar menu on the left side, then give the everybody group the view all versions permission and leave the " Apply changes" checkbox checked to inherhit your changes to all subitems / images in this sub-album.

That's what I had hoped!! It isn't showing itself though unless logged in though. Do I need to untick the box in the top album so that the permissions aren't carried down from there??

ps: what's the history of this g2? a fresh beta 3 install? or was it upgraded?

i checked the gallery and everything is fine.

you have no view item permission on the top album.
so the consequence is, if a guest user browses to main.php g2 wants to show the top album but the guest user has no right to view it, thus g2 asks for login information.

if the guest user browses directly to main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=3200 (the aviation album), then he can view it, because g2 wants to show this album and the user has permissions to view it.

what you could do:
- go to the top album and click edit permission
- uncheck the apply changes checkbox to only affect the top album
- add view item permission to everybody

hope that's what you wanted.

Right I think I've got that. I want a password on all the albums except the aviation one. I therefore need to create a new page on my website pointing directly to the aviation site and people will be able to see that album. Correct??

If so thanks for the quick response and help.

I want to make an album private too.
I cannot find how to password protect the important album.

go to your album, click on "edit permissions" and remove the view permissions from the everybody group.

if you want password protected albums which is an alternative concept to user accounts, then you'll have to wait until fall 2005 or so.
