Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the $user_login_mode_hide_gal=.
I tried putting in $user_login_mode_hide_gal="true";
and also the gallery name in the quotes, but the private gallery's still show when I'm not logged in.

What would be the proper syntax for this.
I tried the faq and did a search here, but I am still confused.

Awesome gallery btw, I've manage to find all the little tweaks that I wanted to add. This app has so many features.

you have to set

$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true;

and enable the user login mode
$user_login_mode = true;

And the album has to be private of course (private.txt with username in it).

Wow that was a quick reply, I think I'm going to like it here!!

But thanks, I knew I was missing something. I didn't add the $user_login_mode = true; , but I had everything else.

ok, so thats fixed, but how do you add all users that should have access to the private.txt? I understand putting the password on the first line and seperating passwords with commas, how do you differentiate the passwords from the users? That part is still unclear.

I still have some minor css related stuff and I have to read through making it
a little quicker loading, but other than that I'm just about done with the set-up.

Thanks for the help, and my gallery is here if you wanted to poke around:
#removed_broken_link

you put user names in the private.txt.

You have either the user login mode or the "old" password mode. You cannot mix them. You have to decide which way you prefer.

About the speed. Have your read the howto about it. It seems you have turned on the main cache already. I don't know how fast your webspace is.

How many images are in the gallery? I only tested up to 200.000 images .

- Michael

oh ok, now I understand.

Yup, I've read though and made some changes and the speed seems ok.
I have the advantage of hosting on my own home server which is an old
dual p2 350 with 512 megs of ram. I'm running Windows server with Abyss web server. That old work horse has been running my website for 7-8 years with no problems.

I only have a couple of hundred images so far.

Thanks for the reply's, I really appreciate it!!

After read through How-to #12 and the post here, I still having problem to hidden the album.

I have created some subfolders called "testing", "testing1", "testing2" under the parent folder called "Photos"
I would like the user A can view all the subfolders album once he logined in while the other users can view "testing1" and "testing2" only (no matter login or not)
That means all the users can "testing1" and "testing2" folders while "testing" is hidden/invisible (not a lock on ablum)

I have created a config.php inside the folder "testing" with
$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true;
$user_login_mode=true;
Also, I have created a private.txt with User A password inside the folder "testing" as well.

However, I can only see a "locked" album of "testing" instead of invisible/hidden when a guest reached the "Photos" folder.

Did I missing out something or did something wrong?

in the private.txt only the user name has to be stored. Not the password.

- Michael

Hi,
It still not working
Ok. I'm using the default folders to do the testing.
I'm using Mexico 2005 as testing folder
I have created a config.php inside the Mexico 2005 folder and modified the default private.txt of that folder
The content in the config.php is shown below (only 2 lines):
$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true;
$user_login_mode=true;

the contect in private.txt is show below (only 1 line):
admin

I have cleared all the cache image in the server as well as the PC.
I just reload the page and I can still see the Mexico 2005 album.
However, I want the Mexico 2005 album invisible until admin login

Did I mis-unstanding invisible/hidden folder feature.
I believe the Mexico 2005 folder will not shown up instead of locking up with the setting mentioned above

have you put thin in the config.php of the mexico folder?

Because this is read when you go into the folder. you need to put this in e.g.
my_config.php

I just tested with

$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true;
$user_login_mode=true;

and it work fine with TWG 1.7.8

- Michael

Well, it still not working.
I have done the following:
download twg178 and unzip it
chmod to 777 for certain files according to the installation check
create my_config.php in Mexico folder with
$user_login_mode_hide_gal=true;
$user_login_mode=true;

add admin in private.txt

You can have a look the result in #removed_broken_link

the config not in the mexico folder!

this setting is needed before! therefore it has to be in the main my_config.php

- Michael

oh. i get it. many thanks for your help.

BTW, I wanna to check whether below is normal:
After login, I can see the Mexico folder and the lock on the right bottom corner is opened. If I just logout by clicking the "Logout" at top right corner, the Mexico folder will still visible until I press the lock on the right bottom corner of Mexico folder, right?

Or the Mexico folder will automatically hidden again if i just click "Logout"?

no - you have to click the lock to lock the album.
