Post subject:  Password mechanism unclear

Hello all,

sorry to bother you for a newbie question - please bear with me for a second. I have not yet understood on how I can set up the passwords properly.

So here is my situation
- pictures: access for user1, user2, user3
- pictures/subdir1: access for user1, user2
- picture/subdir2: access for user1, user3

My assumption was:
1. define user accounts, plus passwords. user1 being an administrator, the others just visitors.
2. in each of the 3 directories (pictures being the "pic root"), I put in a "private.txt", and in this i list the names according to my listing above, with "," as a separator
3. i set this: "$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true; $user_login_mode=true;"

but it does not work - i can not log in any of the users. what is wrong?

thx in advance

stephanie.

The private.txt from the main folder causes the problem.

Curently you can only use a main private.txt or the ones from the subdirectories.
I have to check why they interfere.

Best,
Michael

Hi,

my idea was to have one portal where *all* can log in, and then subportals where *some* of those can get in, but not others. What would be the best solution to achieve that then?

Download 1.8.4 again and replace inc/filefunctions.inc.php.

Before the main password file was always added. But you way makes more sense to me. So now it is possible to have less access in subdirectories. Before I was reading all password files recursive till the main one. Now only to the first one found.

Have fun using TWG,
Michael
