I am sorry if this is not the right place, but I have look for about an hour here and did not find what I wanted.
Here is the problem, I want to make my photos only available to only people that register, not the whole world, the only way I can do that was to create ids and passwords and make my family Adim, and the make the gallery off line so that only the Admin can log in, well I really do not want my family to see all the extra buttons, so is there a way (hack/mod or what ever) to restrict the picture to only registered members, I also want an email informing me that there is a registation waiting, (of course I would create the id and password myself).
Thanks
You should have read the FAQ :)
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#registeredUsersOnly
And the documentation..
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_user
"Admin Activation
Enable admin activation. When set to yes, a gallery administrator must first activate the new registration before the user can log-in and take advantage of any registered user privileges.
By default, it is set to no, so users would activate their own accounts upon registering."
Sorry, but that first link is outdated and is for 1.3. Here are instructions for 1.4: http://takethu.com/docs/faq.htm#registeredUsersOnly
downgrade your family members, they mustn't be admins!
