Uploading to Password-Protected Albums

[Kabaka]

As of writing this post, I have the latest stable version of Coppermine installed.

I have created an album that is password-protected. It is set up such that it is not listed on the main page of the gallery; you must know the address to get there. Guest/visitor uploads are allowed in both the album properties and group permissions. This is currently the only album on the gallery which allows visitor uploads. When a user that is not logged in (and has entered the correct password for the album) clicks the Upload File button, the gallery returns:

Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload files

Is there any configuration that would allow uploads to password-protected albums, or am I trying to do something completely crazy?

By the way, I did search the forum for previous posts reguarding this issue. There have been several unsuccessful attempts to get help, and a few active posts that suddenly became inactive once this issue was reached.

When you set an album as a password protected it be comes Private Album ( Album can be viewed by => Me only) but users can upload to public albums and their personal albums only

Is there any configuration that would allow uploads to password-protected albums, or am I trying to do something completely crazy?

So the answer is no there isn't any configuration unless you code it

I was afraid of that. I might have to venture to suggest that the option to allow guest uploads be disabled with the album set as password-protected, but this isn't the forum for that.

Thank you for the quick answer.

I am almost certain this will probably be the wrong forum of it, but I'll go ahead and ask just because it follows the flow of the post: could you point me in the correct direction on which file(s) will need editing to make this possible? I could figure it out on my own, but there's no sense in spending a few hours learning the layout of the code when I could just ask people who already know.

look at upload.php at line #844 you will see how CPG lists the albums for uploaders checking if 'alb_password' has value under where clause may help you

Thanks! I think I can get it from there.

I really appreciate the fast replies. Thanks a bunch.
