before i upgraded I could see in admin if an album was public or registered
But its not there anymore in album properties - how do i set an album for public viewing through edit file properties??
Relevant documentation: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#modif_alb_pics
Click on the "Properties" link and you'll see "Album can be viewed by" then a dropdown menu. That's where you choose "Everyone (public album)", "Registered", or any other usergroup.
Thanks but that line
album can be viewed by- does not exist for me
its starts with 'album password'
is there any reason for this ??
Yes, read the part of the manual you have just been referred to.
If you have set "Users can can have private albums" to YES on the config page, you can determine who will have permission to view the files of this album.
To add to what Nibbler said: by default, this is set to "yes", so you must deliberately have set it to "no".
Thank you - you guys are great - I was looking and changing the groups permission- instead of global config
