Hi all,
I am using the g2-bridge from serbanc to integrated G2 into joomla 1.0. It works very nicely so far. I am using the image module to display an image of the day, and an album of the day to show some images on the frontpage. Does that module show a random image among ALL possible images, or only among the images that the user has the authorization for.
For example, some user might have created a password-protected album in G2, for which he does not want the images to be shown on the frontpage....
Thx and regards, Slomo

Here is my own answer after checking the coding:
Yes, it does.
However, password-protected albums and images are still shown in the image-block.
But I found a way to exclude password-protected images from the image block by adding this coding to
gallery2/modules/imageblock/classes/ImageBlockHelper.class
(before this statement: "list ($ret, $owner) = GalleryCoreApi::loadEntitiesById($item->getOwnerId());:".

//check if the item is directly protected by a password.
//in this case, do not show it in the image block
//not even as a preview
//(indirectly protected items are already excluded automatically)
if( $item->hasOnLoadHandler('Password') ){
continue;
}
Not perfect, but it works..
