I am well aware how to remove the links on the index page. But either way anyone can add this: thumbnails.php?album=topn to the end of any url.com/gallery/ and be able to view this page which I would like to keep private. This includes Album list, last uploads, last comments, most viewed, top rated.

I have the stats private which is why I would also like to keep this info private.

Two possible solutions I see... (and sure there are others...)
Use .htaccess to look for and overwrite any album=xxx that you want to disallow... This would apply to everyone (admin or not) and be outside of Coppermine.  I'm not an expert in htaccess coding.

In Coppermine, the meta albums are processed in function get_pic_data
Depending on what you want - changes could be made here to suppress certain albums for all.. for non-admin... etc...
There is a plugin filter here - probably the best option as you wouldn't have to redo changes for each release:

Code: [Select]

    $meta_album_passto = array (
        'album' => $album,
        'limit' => $limit,
        'set_caption' => $set_caption,
    );

    $meta_album_params = CPGPluginAPI::filter('meta_album', $meta_album_passto);
In the doc:
http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/dev_plugin_hooks.htm#plugin_hooks_meta_album

meta_album    Filter    executed before meta albums are retrieved, giving the possibility to add or filter meta albums.

If you can indicate what you want to disallow and for who (admin or all) - someone may be able to help.. (or of course you can write a plugin too!)  I have limited time right now - but thought the ideas might help someone else...

I  want to be able to remove this page so no one can view it
http://xtinapictures.com/thumbnails.php?album=topn&cat=0

Even if I remove the link in the theme people can still paste /thumbnails.php?album=topn&cat=0 after any url in ANY gallery and get to this page.
So how can I remove it to keep the most viewed private?

A quick bandaid...
Open include/functions.inc.php.
Find function 'get_pic_data' (line 1163 at CPG 1.5.40)   
Find the following statement: (line 1579 at CPG 1.5.40)

Code: [Select]

    case 'topn': // Most viewed filesChange topn to anything you want - so you can still view it - but no one else will know the keyword...
Anyone trying to view topn will fall through the code...

Cleaner to filter with a plugin (and wouldn't need to be redone with each release) - maybe someone else can help with that - I don't have the time right now...

That worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
