Permissions Suggestion - Thumbnails

ConqSoft · December 13th, 2004, 12:39 AM

How about adding a permission for "Can View Thumbnails"? I like to let my guests see the thumbnails at least, but not be able to get to the full size image until they register.

No one else would find this permission useful?

I would love this feature!!

I find too interesting the possibility of showing the thumbnails for visitors and the full image only for registered users. But better to not owerhelm to brian & other coders with too much features and suggestions.

Who knows... probably Brian will surprise everyone with this feature on forthcoming versions.

This would be a nice feature to have I think

This is exactly what I need. My new registrations have dropped down to a 1/3rd of where they were since loading VBaG. Currently users w/o proper permission cant see what they are missing. Instead they see what appears to be an empty category

Show me the way to paypal for this hack.

This should make it's way into RC3. For those who need it sooner though, here's the instructions.

/forum/includes/init.php - Look for:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

/forum/includes/adminfunctions_gallery.php Look for:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Below this, Add:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

/gallery/showimage.php - Look for:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You will then need to edit each of your usergroups and set the permissions accordingly (they will be off by default after making these changes).

This would be fantastic!

I have disabled unregistered users to watch images. But when they're viewing the galleries, they see only the various galleries but with nothing in it. Nowhere is mentioned that they can see the images as soon as they're logged in.
