daven Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 I have a Gallery website and wanted to set-up a way to make my website accessible by password. Right now, you can just go to the site and view albums. I want viewers to have to enter a password to proceed. How do I do this? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Well, I have never used the gallery program but I assume that your albums are in a sub folder on your site. You can password protect the folder requiring that a login to be required. You do this through cPanel. Select Web Protect and select the folder. Add a user name and password. Quote
tomowa Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Hi daven, You can set permissions on a album by album basis. When you are logged into Gallery as an admin, in the 'Album Actions' selection box, select 'permissions'. You can add/delete individual users and or groups, such as 'logged in', which means you must be logged in to view the album. Of course you will have to create users, which can be done from the 'manage users' link, which is visable when you are logged in as admin. HTH, Tom Quote
tomowa Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Your welcome Bruce Gallery happens to be one thing I do know my way around. Lets hope it does daven some good Quote
daven Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) Thanks for everyone's replies. Let me clarify my question: I am trying to have a password prompt to access the entire gallery website. I would like to see if there is a way to prevent random people from right-clicking photos and saving them. I reasoned that if I password protect the site, then people I know will be accessing the website. Are there other alternatives to this? Nilesh Edited June 22, 2005 by daven Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Nilesh, if you follow the instructions for web protect I gave above it will force a password to log into the gallery. As for trying to protect people from taking your images you may as well forget it. If they can view the images they can take the images. Fact of internet life. Even if you could stop them from right clicking, once they view the image it is on their computer in the cache for their browser. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 In cpanel you can password protect the folder your gallery is in. Quote
