State: Open
Summary:
Public / Non Public Albums
Detailed Description:
It would be nice if there is a property of each gallery to define if a gallery
is public or for registered users only and what group the user should belong to.

So gallerys that are not public can only be seen if a frontend user is logged in
and/or belongs to a specified group.

I know i could use smarty to filter gallerys and hide back links etc., but if a
visitor knows the url to the gallery he can also see it without being logged in.

I also know i could create different gallery templates and check the login
status inside the template. But this is not very user friendly because you
always have to create a new template if a new user group is created.

So a build in user verification would be very nice.

Nice idea, thank you... I will consider this sometime, but won't promise
anything.

This is actually more than just a matter of hiding albums. Currently if Gallery
is used to create, for example, photo loops in the header of a site, these photo
galleries come up in search results because of the description field. By making
the gallery 'private', this issue would be alleviated.
