rights of moderators/admins/users re. private albums

Hi

PP 5.31

rights of moderators/admins/users re. private albums

I would like to know, what a moderator or admin or normal user is allowed to see and what not, specifically regarding private albums of others and comments on photos which are in those private albums.

There are 2 places where photos and comments might appear AFAIK. First on the index page under recent photos and under random photos.

Comments to photos appear normally under "most recent comments". There also photos can appear as thumbnails.

1.

I would like to know now, whether it is possible, that an admin or a moderator can see on the index page/ in that category

a) photos of private albums
b) and/or comments on photos which are in private albums.

2.

I would also like to know, whether normal users can also see

a) via "recent comments" those comments and
b) the thumbnails of a private album photo within this recent comments section or anywhere else

Thanks in advance

Private photos and comments are only shown as follows

Admins can see everything.

Moderators or regular users are only going to see private photos comments if they have the password to that private album given to them by the user.

Hi Chuck,

in my gallery, this is not true. Moderators can see both, the images of private albums and the comments on photos in private albums without password for it. In "Recent Comments (more...)"

They can also see both (on index page in recent comments) even not logged in at all.

The usual procedure - logout as mod, clear cookies and browser content, login as normal user, was done. So this can not be a cookie issue.

How can I fix this? (PP531)

Thanks in advance

If I look at comshow.php this line is right in it which means it never lists to anyone private comments from private albums

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

also in index.php try this block for the undercat

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

What do you mean with "try this"?

Shall I replace or add anything? If yes, on which place wthin this file?

Chuck S · August 15th, 2006, 09:25 AM

in index.php as noted replace the undercats block with what I posted

snoopy5 · August 15th, 2006, 04:04 PM

I di that, but this results in an error:

--

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /homepages/xxxxx/htdocs/galerie_de/index.php on line 258

I just did that. The error goes away, but the problem is not yet solved.

I can still see the image and the comment side by side on the index page in the section "Recent Comments (more...) " (with the last 5 comments appearing).

Strangely, if I click on "more", I see all kinds of recent comments, but not anymore the one of the private album.

If I go back on index page, I can see it again in the section.

As a sidenote: I logged out, deleted cookies, closed cpmpletely browser and started browser again. I alos tried it with another username to login. But behaviour is aways the same. Both, the image and the comment is visisble on index page.

Chuck S · August 16th, 2006, 02:17 PM

This line I gave me ensures you can not see it is it is a private album hense it would have a password

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

snoopy5 · August 16th, 2006, 02:24 PM

this line seems only to take effect, if I click on the image or comment. In this case, it is asking me for a password.

But the problem is, that I can see the thumbnail and the comment already on the index page without clicking on anything. So there is no privacy at all!

Chuck S · August 16th, 2006, 02:31 PM

That line would have nothing to do with the comshow script which is an entirely different script

You sure you just dont have your cache on and it has not updated also i made a slight change since now we call the variable catpass

Yes, I am sure. I just deleted the cache again and I tried it with IE and Firefox.

The reason why IMHO it can not have somthing to do with the cache or cookie is alos that I only see the comment with the thumbnail on the index page, but not on the bigger commnet overview page by clickong on "more..."

I can send you the link to the gallery if you want to...

snoopy5 · August 16th, 2006, 02:44 PM

I just sent you a PM with all data...

snoopy5 · August 17th, 2006, 04:29 AM

Hi Chuck,

I have gotten your mail. No, this new code for index.php does not work neither.

Now the last 5 comments block completeley disappeared on the frontpage, not just the comment for the private photo.

This new code for index.php is also significantly shorter than the one of yesterday.:

New code block:

----

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And the old code block as bugfix as of yesterday:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I replaced again the index.php file with the version of yesterday in the English gallery, so that we have a starting point here.

snoopy5 · August 17th, 2006, 05:26 AM

as a sidenote:

One user with a Macontosh computer and a Safari Browser report now problems since we chnaged the index.php file yesterday.

If he logs in his private album, he is always guided to the frontpage of the gallery. And he can not write comments, the text field for writing commenst is not visible, athough successful logged in.

This sounds like a cookie problem. But he stated he deleted all, deleted cache etc. I can not replicate it, since I have a Windows computer. But it seems that other windows user do NOT have a problem.

So maybe something special with Safari and this index.php change?

Chuck S · August 17th, 2006, 06:47 AM

Could be I dont use safari

The code I posted is correct and from a photopost 5.31 index.php file with the only new addition being the $catperms for catpass

There is nothing more I can post here. It works flawlessly. I posted a comment on a private photo on my site and it does not appear on recent comments and the block does display.

I can only suggest you use unaltered code if your having issues. The only addition to the current code is what is in bold here in this post.

Hi Chcuk,

I just uploaded again the original index.php file of teh download fiel of PP 5.31 of June 2006.

My index.php file is looking at this block totally different to the code you posted and which is NOT bold. This is my complete index.php file (untouched right out of the download box in June 2006):

---

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

So there must be more differences. Can you please post your complete index.php file you used?

The line in my comshow.php file is the same as your proposal by the way....

snoopy5 · August 17th, 2006, 02:16 PM

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrghhh,

I just realized: There are TWO DIFFERENT blocks of undercat. I always replaced only the first one in index.php, but you meant the second one!

I added now in the SECOND block of undercat the code you mentioned above in bold and now it works.

Chuck S · August 17th, 2006, 03:41 PM

LOL yes thats why I posted the exact block I was talking about and put in bold what I added
