I do have over 400 albums and 1.6 mil pics, so protecting them is vital.

Apply this: hotlinking to redirect to the page that contains the image http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,76683.0.html and users can no longer view your image from google images or type in the browser your_gallery.com/albums/album_name/image_name.jpg

JohannM:
Thanx. I will check this out.

What I did now is I created User Groups for each album (e.g. VIP-Album1, VIP-Album2, etc.) with full access: thumbnail, intermediate and full size.

With user manager, I Choose e.g. User 1, and gave this user permission for full access via VIP-Album 1. But when User 1 login, he can still see and download all other full size images in other albums.

I can not assign this group via Album Manager" where it says "Album can be viewed by e.g. VIP-Album1, because if I do this, the whole album gets excluded for guest and normal registered users.

Maybe "paid help" or a new plugin whould solve this ?

For example: Access Rights .... 1 Column (choose user), second colum ( select album(s) ), third colum (select access level e.g. thums, intermediate, and or full size).

I think a lot of coppermine users will find this very helpfull.

Any suggestions ?

Thanx in advance.

Αndré:
I just replied to your related question in the fullsize access plugin thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,74870.msg381248/topicseen.html#msg381248

ron4mac:
It looks to me that what Johann is looking for is actually an override buy each user (instead of groups) that would allow full-size access to selected albums.  The needed plugin would have to add a field to the user record that contains a serialized array of albums and access levels used to override what is set for their group. Or perhaps the user_profile6 field could be used.

[edit]
Or, going the other way, an added album field with some designated user overrides for their group access_level. (probably better this way)

JohannM:
André and ron4mac

Thanx for your inputs. It helped a lot.

Yes, I think a plugin for this would be great. Its a pitty my php knowledge is so poor, otherwise I would have done such a plugin myself.

To do this kind of plugin, I would prefer to begin with the user, since certain (one or more) albums is "assigned" to the user to be able to access full size. Log system (like in the fullzise plugin) would also be great.

Should I request somewhere (under plugin thread) for someone to look into this. Im sure a lot of coppermine users will be glad to contribute a small donation towards such a plugin.

Best Regards
JohannM
