Password protect galleries

(1/3) > >>

Kasper_Rasmussen:
Is there any way to get a feature to password protect one or more galleries?

Zarsky:
Isn't that the purpose of the group permissions?  You could also use .htaccess files if you are under apache.

Oasis:
no no no no, I think what he means is,
password protect individual user albums...
This is useful for coppermines used as user online photo albums.
This way they users can make albums that are accessible only by people
who have the correct password, no matter what group they're in...
Even if they were unregistered.

I pointed this feature out in my previous post "A few requested features"
It was based on user feedback from 50 or so testers, and at least 4 users requested it or something similar.

Zarsky:
oasis,

OK...I get it now...this is a good idea....There is currently a feature freeze for 1.2, but this is something we should look into for future versions.

jack:
I don't think that this is a good idea .. this way, you woul dhave to have two authntication and two authorisation systems working together. It would be a lot of work to ensure that adding the second would not weaken the first.

A better way of doing it would be to extend the current authorisation system to allow much more flexible permissions to be applied to a gallery.
