Hi,

How do I make an album / page, which is always hidden?

Here is an example of what I mean: http://www2.ramoth.org/gecko/

I have installed a plugin called hidden, and it do work, but as soon as you have entered the album directly via URL, it appears on the front...

So how do I make a extra album / page that always hidden?

One last thing, how do I put text into the entire album / page as he has done? if I try it I get my text in the left side of the screen and in the right side it will say: the album is empty?

I want to make an extra album / page as he has done on the above link and you will alway have to access it via URL ...

Here is my hidden album: http://80.197.126.74/Gallery/Test/

Try click on gallery, an you will se that it´s now shows on the front with the text (no thumbnail)

Hope there is someone here on this forum who can help me.

Excuse my bad English but I come from Denmark.

Regards
Sune

That example isn't a Gallery page, it's just a simple web page, it's not part of Gallery.

To make it always hidden, you'd need to edit permissions, but anyone who has permission to see it will be able to see it. The hidden plugin you've found is the only way to hide a gallery album, yet once someone has visited it it will continue to show for them until they delete their cookies. But it won't show for other people unless they visit it.
