This post is really for Tarique, i noticed in the CVS you added this feature, I added it to my setup, but it doesnt seem to work.
Or at least i dont see how it is supposed to work.

I see the field in the album config for what i think is a password (it isnt labeled but if you type in it it doesnt show what you are typing) I added a password but if i logout and access the gallery like a normal visitor, i can still see the album and it doesnt request a password, etc.

Any thoughts?
I know this is part of the CVS and isnt "production" but it is a feature i think is very useful.

Well devel CVS is not supported and niether it is for casual PHP programmers.

That said - all I can add is - check out once more (changes are in no less than 10 files or so I think may be less or more) - run update.php and try again - if it works great, if it does not then please fix it and let us know what the problem was

Also, I know it is dev, but any more luck on the password protected directories working?
It's a feature i would love to have implemented at my site, without having to implement private albums

Don't hijack threads, especially not on the bugs board! If you want to find out about dev versions, you will have to checkout the cvs (there's no support for dev versions!).

I also tried the changes for password protected albums in devel CVS with no luck - same problem then SaigonK.

But maybe i found a bug in thumbnails.php.
You use

Code: [Select]

$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];which i think should be

Code: [Select]

$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['alb_password'];For me it doesn't work anyway, but maybe it's helpful for your developements

@SaigonK: I applied some "surgery" to split your postings related to album password protection out of the thread http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=8037.0 and inserted it into this thread. Don't!

@All: it's a dev feature, it comes without support. We won't even explain how to use it (that would be support). If you can contribute (like high-5 tried to), you're welcome to do so. All requests demanding explanation or support will be ignored.

Thanks - we caught that one and fixed it - the anon CVS check out lags behind by a couple of days....

Finally i got the password thing from anon cvs to work. 
I know, it's in dev, so far it works for me if i enable private galeries.

You also have to modify the language files. Search /lang/english.php for the diffs of Tarique Sani to see how. Normal users have to try to access the protected album by a direct link for the first time. After entering the right pw they will see this album in the normal view.

In a somewhat related note - languages should now fall back to English if a translation is not found for most phrases (those which are in arrays)

P.S. All warnings about being a development feature still apply
