Hi everyone! I'm looking for some permission related things, and cant find them in the documentation, nor in the forums. I want to allow only each user to see its own album, and no other. Is there any option in the permissions page? or should i edit the code? Gallery version : 2.1.2 |

No tip what so ever?
If this is not possible with Gallery2, is there any other photo gallery software able to do it?
Regards,
Leonardo

> I want to allow only each user to see its own album, and no other.
that's an option in g2.2's useralbum module
> I don't want to allow guests to view users albums either.
covered by the above option
> I want to allow only one upload (1 image) per user.
using user-albums and allowing just one image is pretty much overkill.
anyhow, the quotas module can limit the disk-usage (size that can be used by each user in kilobytes / megabytes can be defined).
if you want to limit the number of items, you have to change the php code of this module or create your own module.

So, i should use the SVN (or snapshot)? I couldnt find a RC of 2.2 in the download section, is there any somewhere else?

yes, you'll need to use the nightly snapshot of g2.2. a link to nightly snapshots is on the download page (upper right corner of this page).

Thank you very much valiant!
One last question, is it ok to use this development release in a production server?

depends on how mission critical your production environment is. if your life depends on it, no. ;)
but generally, g2 development versions are very stable and well tested. and we're close to a new release which means that it's almost as stable as an official release.
you need bad luck to get a bad nightly snapshot.

Again, thanks valiant.
I'm trying it right now, as my life doesn't depend on it ;)
But I have a little doubt. I hope you don't mind (I appreciate very much all the questions you have answered, and I will understand if you don't have the time to keep doing it), I found the option in usersalbums to make the default 'show' option to be "own user" only, but I also found that if the user goes to "edit permissions" for his album he can override the default one, is there any way to disable this? I don't need users to set any kind of permissions for their albums, in fact, the less permissions they have, the better
Regards!

you'll have to revoke the "edit item" permission from the user on theor own album.
you can edit a few lines of the code of the useralbum module to achieve that.
modules/useralbum/classes/UserAlbumHelper.class
after
$ret = GalleryCoreApi::addUserPermission($albumId, $user->getId(), 'core.all'); if ($ret) { GalleryCoreApi::releaseLocks($lockId); return $ret; }add
$ret = GalleryCoreApi::removeUserPermission($albumId, $user->getId(), 'core.changePermissions'); if ($ret) { GalleryCoreApi::releaseLocks($lockId); return $ret; }Posts: 6
Thats what i love about Free Software. Thanks Valiant.
I don't think its working though, users still edit permissions, is there any documentation where I can see how to manage permissions in the code? the different functions, etc.?

this doesn't affect existing user albums.
you can edit existing user albums yourself with "edit permissions".

valiant,
i did just as you suggested. While i do thank you for your time i am sad to say that it did not change anything. Users still can change permissions on albums they created themselves. Would you happen to have another idea on this subject?
Thanks a TON
