Hi @ all,

I gereated my gallery and everything is fine. Now I wanted to create an album especially for my family. It is no problem to make it possible that only my family can see this album. But is it poosible that this album is the only which can my familiy view.
So, is it possible to take the Family group out of the registered user group, or is there any other way?

Thx

Michael

what you want is possible in g2, but not the way you think.
negative permissions are not available in g2.

from your description i gather that you have at least 3 kinds of users.
- anonymous user
- registered users (your family and other registered users)
- your family

and you want that your family can only see a special album, but no other albums.
other registered users should see everything (or so).

correct?

then you have to introduce a third group, such that you have:
- registered users group (default, can't be deleted)
- family group
- other registered users group (new group)

- remove view all permission from the registered users group for all albums
- assign view all permission to the family group for the family album
- assign view all permission to the other registered users group for all albums

drawback:
you'll have to add each new user manually to the "other registered users" group.

Who can help me?!

in one of the gallery albums (family album) I recognized my husband's parents together with relatives that my husband never knew. I would like so much to put me in contact with the relative who published this album, to know more about my husband's family and eventually to let my husband and my sons make knowledge with her members

It would be greatful if somebody could help me!

mida:

please post this in the general chit-chat forum or so, in a new topic. it's really offtopic here.
also, when posting a new topic, please describe whether it is your gallery installation or someone else's.
