Title: Users
Post by: d34d10gic on May 15, 2008, 12:00:40 am
Okay, is there a way to get rid of user access completely and just use Coppermine as a way to read into my subgalleries, make tables for the images as well as thumbnails?

All I'm looking for really is a gallery system that just reads into my gallery folder checking inside it for folders and subfolders and making them categories and creating thumbnails[a size I specify] for them, and then spitting out an output on the site.

Get rid of user access completely? Do you mean you want your gallery to be a repository on the www where you store all your pics just for your personal use, without anyone else being able to access (i.e. view) your pics at all? If this is the case I suggest doing something much simpler: you don't need a gallery at all - just upload your folder and file structure, enable indexes in .htaccess and password-protect (again: .htaccess) access for everyone but you.
If this is not what you want (i.e. you don't want visitors to register, but you want visitors to be able to browse your pics), then disable registration (coppermine's config) and hide the login button. Basically, you can disable all types of user/visitor interaction, but before we can advise anything, you'll have to clarify what you actually mean by saying "get rid of user access".

No, no, not at all.

I have a gallery site, but I don't want anyone being able to post comments on the pictures, and I don't want there to be any users, so any guest can come in and look at the gallery.

Then disable registration in coppermine's config and you'll be fine. Please read the docs before asking questions in the future.
