unregsitered picture viewing

[b6gm6n]

Hi...

I was thinking how i could setup a free gallery for unregistered viewers to my site, I've setup a new category to hold these free images and the usual permissions etc via admin but unregistered users are still being blocked

Content visible to verified customers only.

Is there anything i could add there which would help, but of course trying to keep the rest of the gallery/picture permissions intact, but just allowing this one new category to be shown, if you could advise me that would be great, thanks

do you have the setting that requires users to be registered to view images set to yes?

Yes i believe so... but i just wanted to say i found a quick solution which works well and keeps my existing gallery perms intact, in the line/code above i simply added :

&& ($cat != 581)

at the end of the if statement and it works well, i just wanted the one category excluded from that which happened to have the id 581

Thanks

Well like I said that master setting your talking about says if a user is a guest they need to be registered to view images.

Therefore if you want guests to see that category of images and not other categories the correct scenerio IMO would be to remove guest viewing permissions from categories you do not want guests to see and set yes for guests to see the cats you want and the setting we are talking about should be NO so guests can actually see images.

Hello Chuck,
I have set as you wrote, you must be registered to see the pictures, but does not work, if I unplug and I access as a visitor I can see the pictures anyway. Doing something wrong?.

Basically I want the images, albums, and the rest of the site is only visible to registered users.

thanks

The feature discussed here works fine and probally have nothing to do with what your trying to do which should be below.

If your trying to globally restrict no access at all to see an image set in the category editor in admin the uncheck viewing permissions from any group on any category and save permissions.

That is true this topic kind of has nothing to do with what your talking about which is why I posted so once you set cat perms I think you will be okay.
