OK There are catagories inside those catagories are albums. Inside those albums are photos. this much is understood.
1: In the middle of all this settings this and that the wording confusses me.
Visitor: non member or user who just comes to the site to see pics
User: Someone who has a album in the Users Gallery
Member: a user who is part of a group
Group: a group who has a catagory "birdwatchers" with albums in that catagory "birdwatchers" and these albums are tittled "Robins" "Sparrows" 2005 Birdwatcher Convention"
Now I dont care about visitors. I think visitor view only permitted photos an album
Users have permissions over thier individial album
Members have access to Groups things
I need to know where permission start and end
I made a album password protected, and I gave a user member ship to that group and to that album
but when that member goes to that catagory and to the albums section of that catagory, the album I password protected is missing and I see no place to input a password for that user.
Can I password protect a catagory
to me a group would be a catagory.
Do you see my confussion?

Can I password protect a catagory
no, pasword-protection works on a per-album basis, as well as group-membership based access.
then why is it ,,, in album properties it asks me who can view me only, users only, users with in a group etc etc and under that it asks what password I want to create for that album
You can set an album password and you can restrict who can see that album based on their group. Groups and categories are completely unrelated.
this forum is to slow for me to figure this out
can anyone instant message me at yahoo messenger my screenname is finnbogg1
I want certain people to see only certain albums and certain people to see all albums
though groups and catagories have nothing to do with each other. I can title a catagory the same as the group and put only albums in that catagory. can I not?
Example This is what I want to do.
Catagory Bird Watchers
there are 3 users in this group Tina/Pam/Joe
There are 4 albums under this catagory Tinas Album/Pams Album/Joes Album/Convention Album
Any one can see inside Tina and Pams and Joes and the Convention
But only tina can add to tinas album
Pam only to pams album
Joes only in Joes album
but pam tina and joe can add to the convention album
You can't set permissions based on individual members, only groups of members. If you want users to have their own albums then use user galleries.
then what good are catagories?
I need some examples
We go to vegas each year
Catagory Vegas
Albums: Vegas 2005 Vegas 2006 Vegas 2007
Catagory Family reunion
Albums FR 2005 FR2006
what good is this site if indivduals cant come and pick and choose what albums they can add to.
I need some examples
