Hi!

I have actually a gallery running on which only registered users can access to it... And the account creation is disabled.

I have also another Internet site on which I want to show random images from the gallery. So the ImageBlock is the solution.

The problem I have is the restricterd access to the gallery, causing the block not to display any image...

How can I do it? Have I to modify the code of the imageblock module to use a form of login for the block on the gallery?

Thanks for your help,

GrauNykho, who has probably not explained clearly his problem :(

well, you want to show non public content publicly. g2 doesn't allow this of course. what's the point of restricting access and then adding a security whole with the imageblock?

My site is as confidential as my gallery: there are only a dozen of persons who surf on it from times to times.
So it is not a problem for me to display non public photos on a public site.

I understand that my answer is strage, but it is an idea I have to enhance my site ;)

if both sites should only show pictures to logged in users and if they are on the same server, then you can use GalleryEmbed.
else, there's no easy / obvious solution to have restricted access in g2, but public access through the external imageblock.
