Coppermine Photo Gallery

[jayson]

I need so help or advise, (if this is not suppose to be here please delete it)

 

Here is the problem, I want to make my photos only available to only people that register, not the whole world, the only way I can do that was to create ids and passwords and make my family Adim, and the make the gallery off line so that only the Admin can log in, well I really do not want my family to see all the extra buttons, so is there a way (hack/mod or what ever) to restrict the picture to only registered members, I also want an email informing me that there is a registation waiting, (of course I would create the id and password myself).

 

Thanks

From the Coppermine f.a.q:

 

How can I let unregistered users see the thumbnails only, but not the actual pictures?

 

Edit displayimage.php and add

if (!USER_ID) cpg_die(ERROR, 'You need to register to access this page', __FILE__, __LINE__);

just before

This should prevent unregistered users from seeing the thumbnail atleast. I don´t have any coppermine gallery installed at the moment. But it did the trick when I did use it.

 

The family should be able to be put in the registered users group and then not needing to view the "extra" buttons. As far as I remember, either they can be pre registered or they can register themselves.

As for preventing people to register without having the gallery offline I dont know.

Thanks thomas, but no differance, I did what it said, logged out, cleared my cookies and cache and then went back to the photos, and was able to view the pictures, I will just have to maybe look for a different way to do it, maybe a forum style board, that allows picture area.

 

But thanks for looking for me
