I was tryign to setup an album that any anonymous or guest user who knew the password to it would be able to view the pictures in it.
I created a new album, added pictures to it. Went into the albums properties, set it to be a public album, and then gave it a password. I logged out of my admin account and using another PC in the house I logged onto my site and the album wasn't shown in the album views. I logged in as the admin on that PC and the album showed up. I went into the properties of the album, and it showed the "Album can be viewed by" setting as "Me Only". I set it back to be a public folder and again the same thing happend. No album int he album view, but once logged in, I could see it and access it no problem.
If I change the "album can be viewed by" option to a group, and log in with an account linked to that group it can see it no problem.
Am I missing a step here somewhere?
read the docs
Config -> Files and thumbnails advanced settings -> Show private album Icon to unlogged user
