I have searched the forum for the the answer but could not see it.
I have restricted all the albums to specific user group.  But now nothing shows on my mainpage, people will think there is nothing there. I would like to know if there is a way to show the album list in the frontpage for the guests.

Thanks

I have restricted all the albums to specific user group.

Your question answers itself. Because you restricted all the albums to specific user groups, your guest will not be able to see any albums unless 1.) They are logged in and 2.) They are part of the user group(s) in which you restricted those albums to be in.

OmegaGOD is right. There are 3 workarounds for this:

• If you sent them to your coppermine page from some other part of your website, you could have shown them some coppermine thumbs as "apetizers" or "teasers" (e.g. by hard-coding them or using the ssi.mod).
• Put some text into anycontent.php with a switch that checks if a user is logged in. If he isn't, show some text like "You could see more if you were logged in. Register for an account or log in now".
• Undo your settings that restrict access and apply the hack from the FAQ instead: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#viewThumbnailsOnly

This doesn't allow a very granular user/group management though...
