Hey I-Imagine, I can appreciate that,
Having said that, I'll ask this:
- Since I have my Coppermine Viewing Gallery currently set to Members-only, with each Album therein, set to Public (everyone can view), would I then, if I were to make just 1 Album viewable to everyone and the rest hidden, I would have to do this:
*Go into Config, and the options within the User settings field. Inside there, set "Allow unlogged users (guest or anonymous) access" to yes.
*From there, since every Album (of over 500 in total) is set to 'everyone can view', I would have to edit each individual Album, setting its respective rights, viewable only to 'Members of the "Registered" Group'.
----------
Am I right in this regard? I basically need to make the whole Gallery visible while tweaking each Album to Members of the Registered Group? If so that is a most notable flaw. A fix that would eliminate any problems, would be to have the Album's Proprieties be changed when the Admin selects his Gallery to be Member's only or 'not viewable to guests'. Either that, or have the Properties be set to default at: "Viewable only to Members of the Registered Group".
----------
Since 'public' viewable by all is default and I have already created each Album, I now need to first open up the Gallery to guests, then hide each individual Album exclusively to the Members of the Registered Group through the Album's Properties. Each Album from then on, if I wished it viewable to everyone including guests, would have to be at Public (viewable by all) and they would be displayed to guests at index (home).
Does this sum it up? - I suppose I am just confused why there is not an option in place where one Album can be viewable to guests, without the entire Gallery being set to completely open or completely closed.
Please do point out anything I am missing here.
Cheers,
