Display category only if Visible

Category should only be displayed if they are visible to the user or the user is an admin.

What exactly do you mean by 'visible'? Active, if the user has permission to view the category, or something else?

User Created Categorys: Allow Other Users to View Category - Yes

If it's set to 'No' then they shouldn't be displayed other than to the admin and the user that owns the gallery. Sorry I should have explained it better.

Ahhh, gotcha. At first I was thinking they should still be shown (just not the images), but now that I think about it more I agree that they shouldn't be shown on the category list. Here's a fix that should take care of this:

In both your gallery/index.php file and your /forum/includes/functions_gallery.php file look for:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace with (in both files):

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Then look for this in your functions_gallery.php file:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And right above it add:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Sorted

Actually no it's not. They also need to be removed from the category jump as well.

Sorry, trying to do too many things at once here so of course I had to forget about something.

If you'll look in your functions_gallery.php for this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace it with this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

That should take care of all select fields where the category could appear.

You call that being a pest? I was thinking more of it being a good beta tester.

Pest - Good beta tester...same thing really

Im a nube so bear with me. Are you planning on making this change to future versions?

The reason I ask is,

...the gallery has been the big seller on my boards to get people to become members. I love the fact that they can see a category/teaser but dont like the fact that when they click on it, it says no images. Any way to set that up so they can see that they are missing out on something by not registering?

Yes, the change above is going to be added to RC2. I'm not sure I follow what you're asking though... What should they see instead of a 'No Images' message?
