Phoca Gallery 2.8.1 Permission problem for categories

[error]

Hi there,
i updated my Phoca Gallery to 2.8.1 on a Joomla 1.5.26. Before i had Joomla 1.5.15 with a Phoca Gallery 2.5.8.
With my older version i used to control my gallery permission by access level (public, registred or special). But now the plugin ignores this settings. It shows all my embedded categories public. How can i fix this?

Hi, really no idea what can be wrong, Joomla! version does not have any influence on Phoca rights?

Joomla! version does not have any influence on Phoca rights?

Is this a question to me?
What i forgot to mention was that i also updated the Phoca Galley Plugin but i can not find the version number that i use.
Imagen i have a category with pictures in it. This category has permission "registred" and ID 1.
I embed this category in my article by e.g. {phocagallery view=categories|categoryid=1}.
Before my update visitors could see all the pictures when logged in. If you a visitor was not logged in nothing showed up.
Now it does not matter if logged in or not the pictures will show up every time.
Hope I could explain it more clear now.
If there is no solution for this can someone advice me an alternitive?

Thanks so far.

Hi, the ? means that I don't understand what can be wrong there.

- the plugin does not have any influence or dependency to component't rights, the same with version of Joomla! or Phoca Gallery - access rights are not changed between updates - so really no idea what can be wrong there

Hi again,

i got it now. After I remembered that I have modified the plugin I compared the old with the new one and found my own piece of code

Code: Select all

         //-----------------------
         // DISPLAYING OF IMAGES
         //-----------------------
         if ($view == 'category') {
            
            $where = '';
            $where = ' AND access <= ' . $user->get('aid', 0);

The last line handles if a category is displayed or not
