Hi Dari,

MOD works a treat - however it also show ALL albums no matter what the permissions.

Any ideas?

Got a slight problem with the code.

Any albums that are stopped because of permissions ARE excluded from being shown - however it then only shows 4 albums, instead of 5.

So:-

Album A = ALL
Album B = MEMBERS ONLY
Album C = ALL
Album D = ALL
Album E = ALL

MEMBERS see A,B,C,D,E

ANON see A,C,D,E but not F (so making 5 albums)

what are the permissions on F?

slackbladder · Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2003 10:25 am Post subject:

All are set to ALL VISITORS (no permissions) except ALBUM B.

Was this:

if($gallery->user->canReadAlbum($currentAlbum)) {

the only change in the original code?

yep, that's the only change.

ah, i know why now...i have the check in the wrong place. right now, the logic is like this:

scan the albums and find the 5 newest, then display the ones that users have permissions for.

it should be:

scan the albums that users have permissions for and display the 5 latest.

i'll post a fix later (might not be till tomorrow).

I am having a strange problem where the New Albums block will only show Albums that have Everybody as permission. It won't show any of the other albums that have the permission set as Logedin.

This is the latest download, and I am logged in and can see all albums when I go directly into the Gallery. Just can't get them to show in the New Albums block.

hmm....interesting problem. i'll investigate.

Thanks dari.

Another odd thing I noticed is that when I put the New Album block in the Center Up position, all the Topic Icons for the news stories no longer show up, I just get a red x.

In any other position, the icons show fine.
