Access to Full Size images for certain users
Αndré:
First of all we need to know which level of security you need:
1. hide the link to the full-sized pictures (easy to bypass for users who are familiar with Coppermine)
2. mask the actual URLs to your pictures files (hard to bypass, as people need to guess files names)
3. restrict access to the actual full-sized pictures (most security)
It should be quite easy to grant access to the full-sized pictures basing on a combination of the user ID and album ID. Most effort will be to create a user friendly GUI, so if you're fine to maintain this with a text editor in a PHP file, it'll be a simple mod.

I think the mask url idea is very good, in fact I tested the plugin, but I think a "mask url" combined with the "restricted access to full size" will be best if possable.
Since it is mostly standard for normal registered users to see both thumbs and intermediates, I think most coppermine users would prefer, or even suggest, that the full-size picture is most important, especially for those of us that sells our content for an income.
I am slightly familiar with php, and sometimes with a lot of efford I did some custom tweaks and changes to work better for the purpose of my own sites.
But for me to create a user friendly GUI and then the rest of the php code to be able to write such a plugin, awww, don't think I will know how and where to start.
As you said, it be a simple mod ... or plugin ?
Best Regards

I haven't tested the combination of both. Actually, if the fullsize access plugin is setup correctly, there's usually no need for the mask url plugin. Just tell us which way you want to go. Then we can create custom code. Unfortunately you haven't answered my question if it's okay for you to maintain the user-based fullsize access with a text editor.

As per your suggestion, I would then say as per your previous post for security the "3. restrict access to the actual full-sized pictures (most security)
" would be the best then.
Im not sure if I understand your statement"maintain the user-based fullsize access with a text editor".
If you mean I open a text base section on the "admin" page and add usernames or user id's, that would be also fine. Not a problem.
Or do I misunderstood ?

I thought of editing the file with your favorite text editor and upload it via FTP to your server.
