Album Password Module

Allows users to assign a password to a public album.

Description

With this module enabled, registered users will be able to assign/remove a password to any album they have edit privileges on by using the Album Options -> Assign password / Album Options -> Remove password menu options. Once a password has been assigned, the album will not appear to guest and other non-admin users.

The album must be publicly viewable in order for the password to function properly (the View/Everybody permission must be checked). This module can work in one of two ways (controlled from the admin screen). It can hide items only, meaning that users won't see the albums, but if they know the URL they can access the album or it's contents directly. It can also completely deny access to the protected albums and their contents, meaning users trying to access the protected areas without the correct password will see a 404 error. Regardless of which option is used, items will still be viewable on dynamic pages -- they'll show up in searches and with modules like tags and latest updates and the thumbnails will be viewable.

Features

  • Allow registered users to assign a password to an album.
  • Allow guest users to access semi-private photos without registering an account.
