Hi,

I am using Phoca Galerie successfully. I like it.

One question I have is if it is possible that only user who logged in can download a picture while everybody can see the pictures without logging in?

Regards

Derek

Hi, there is no such feature, this needs to be customized in the code - first there should be some if clause (only registered will have a link to download), second the original images needs to be somehow protected so the link to these images will be not known.

Hi,

thank you for your answer. To only show the link button to registered user should not be to difficult to realise. The protection could be a protection of the directory which name and password is only known to the software and then forwarded for download.

On the other hand I guesss that not many people will need this feature.

Behind it is, that I would like to know how many people are downloading pictures and which pictures they are downloading.

Regards

Derek

Hi, Phoca Gallery only stores information about displayed images, not downloaded (so some customization needs to be done, e.g. to store the hits by downloads :-( )
