index public but gallery private

[RAFA3L]

Hello,

I would like to now if I can get the index of the galleries public, I mean, the unregistered user can see the thumbnails in the main index but can't enter to see the thumbnails galleries without register.

If I make a private gallery this is invisible to the unregistered user and I need that the user know that the gallery is there.


thanks in advance

You can let guests view thumbnails by making everything viewable in category permissions yet in registration options set yes to the option to make guests register to view images that way all they can do is view thumbs not the actual photos.

Thanks Chuck,


Maybe my english is noth good, I already have all like you mean, but I need to make the user can't enter to see the thumbnails gallery, but in the home see the list of categories with thumbs.

I need make to know to the unregistered user that the categories exists (each one with his thumb on the left side), but force the register to enter and see the gallery thumb index and of course the big images.

You cant do that sorry

To see the category you need to let them see the category meaning they can click and see the category. You can only lock them from viewing the photo.

There is no option to do what you wish. You would have to hack your install in some way to lock it down to guests like maybe this in showgallery.php

add this in bold where noted. in showgallery.php I will not support this as this would be considered code hacking. Your free to discuss stuff like this outside product support in the MOD CORNER forums where users can discuss code hacks with one another.

Tha idea is incentivate the user to register, I will try with a splash box like you explain in Announcement box for unregistered users only post.
