Title: download permission
Post by: danibo on September 17, 2006, 10:21:21 AM
Hallo
Is it possible to configure CPG that only certain registered users have the right to download the original file from album?
In other words. Most people should be allowed to see the images (previews) but should not have the right to download the hires File. Can you add this different rights to users or can you restrict the access to the album, that you only can see the preview?

My only workaround is to upload two albums. One with hires files and the other with files which have just the image (preview) dimensions and guide the downloadpermissons via the acces rights.

Thanks for you input
dani

If they can see the full-image then they can download it by simply right-click and save as ... option
if you don't want them to download the full size image then you should not allow users to see them at all
try this plugin :

Thanks
that was exactly what I was looking for.

But do not forget to put "Allow Zip Download of Favorites" to "No" because otherwise you can download the fullsize-picuture as a zip.

it is a very helpful and wonderful plug-in. Thanks.
