----------------- [ Introduction ] -----------------

With this mod you'll be able hide categories and/or set a password.

Hidden categories will not be visible anywhere on the site and can be accessed only by a direct link to it. By default once such category opened, it will become visible for the visitor, meaning it will not be hidden anymore for that particular visitor. This behavior can be changed.

If a category password protected, only it's name will be visible to the visitors (assuming visitor has "view category" permissions). Once visitor open it or open an image from such category, a prompt to enter the password will be showed instead. When the submitted password accepted, the category become fully accessible to the visitor, based on it's permissions. The submitted passwords are stored in the database for each member or in sessions for guests.

All subcategories inherit "hidden" and "password" settings from it's parent category.

If you have a request or suggestion, make sure you visit Tweaks section, it might be already there

----------------- [ How to use ] -----------------

Once this mod is installed, you should see two new options when edit or create new category.

----------------- [ Demo ] -----------------

You can see how it works here. You can click on "reset cat password" link on left to reset entered password and visited hidden categories.

1.	If you don't want passwords be saved in the database and only in the session, then in the code from Step 8. replace: Code:  [Select]  [Expand]  [Hide line numbers] 1 $user_info['cat_password_db'] = true; //set to false to use only sessions to store passwords With: Code:  [Select]  [Expand]  [Hide line numbers] 1 $user_info['cat_password_db'] = false; //set to false to use only sessions to store passwords

[Werner1340]

Hello V@no,

BIG Thanks for that great MOD. Works perfect on my site   

Just 2 suggestions/questions:

1: Is it possible to protect the categories for each time I enter the site?

For example: I'm entering my site, answer the categorie-password-question and I'm in. So far, so good.
Now I'm leaving my site to  go somewhere else and after a while I come back and now I have to
answer the password again for the protected categorie, because i didn't stay on my site all the time.

2: Is it possibel to make the password case-sensitive? Just a little feature  , if it's easy to realize.

Thank you very much...................Werner

   

[V@nо]

1. at the moment there is no expiration on passwords and the only way make it close to your request is do tweak 1 and set session expiration to  shorter time.

2. its supossed to be case sensetive...is it not?

[Werner1340]

Hello V@no,

1: Ok, no problem.

2: Sorry, my fault  . It is case-sensitive. Sorry for that

Werner

[V@no]

Added a little demo site.

[kai]

That's awesome! Thanks V@no!

[mawenzi]

... cool ... a very small "V@no's Gallery" since (I think) two years from vano.org ... 
... Images with gps-infos and google-maps ... I hope it will not remain only a demo site ...
... btw ... nice mod ...

After all ... vano.org  is now up.. 

V@no, I saw the last line of your page  "Page generated in 0.107483 seconds with 11 queries, spending 0.047000 seconds doing MySQL queries and 0.060483 doing PHP things. GZIP compression enabled" 

If you don't mind can you tell me how can I get this on my website ??

Code:  [Select]  [Expand]  [Hide line numbers]

1 2 3

//define("PRINT_STATS", 1); //define("PRINT_QUERIES", 1); //define('PRINT_CACHE_MESSAGES', 1);

... and remove all " // " ...

Hello

I have been trying to get this mod to work but have had no luck. I have even tried to reinstall gallery from fresh incase any other mods were interfering with it, but still not working.

I can get the password page, but when I enter a password I get HTTP 404 - File not found.

The address in the addressbar is : http://gallery.lovemansfield.co.uk/php.cgi?cat_id=2

I don't have a php.cgi file?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks You are creative in the programming and I hope to continue innovation

This is interesting...try redownload the package and replace includes/catpass.php with the new version.

I hope it fixed now.
