Guest Voting & Comment Problems (iframe related?)

[msbr]

On our website http://msbragginrights.com we have an up-to-date postnuke/coppermine/pnCPG installation implemented using the dynamic iframe method.  I think the iframe may be the root of these problems but im not sure....



1. If you open the site without loggin in, everyone can make changes to comments.  I think this is because coppermine sees the IP address of the webserver (bc of the iframe) and not the browser.  Does anyone know what might be wrong and how I can fix this?

2. As a temporary fix to problem #1 above, I disabled guest comment capabilities... but it did not work!  Guests can still make comments even though it is turned off through the administration console.  Does anyone know what I need to do to disable guest comments (especially if I can fix problem #1)?

3.  It there a way to have comments not be instantly posted, like where the administrator has a chance to review them first?  You can do this for uploads, but I have not found the option for comments... is this possible?

4.  In relation to Voting, if a Guest has voted, and another Guest on a seperate ISP, Date, etc. tries to vote on that picture, it says "you have already voted on this file".  I would like to fix this, but if it is not possible, I would like to make everyone login to do anything, including Voting.  If there an option to turn off voting for Guests?



I would imagine that someone has run into these problems before as they are core concepts of coppermine/pnCPG.  Please help if at all possible.  Thanks in adavnce!

Within Coppermine you can change the settings such that people need to be logged on in order to do anything. In addition you can define your albums such that they con only be seen by logged on users.
I suggest you test first outside Postnuke to ensure all is working as you expect.
If not, then you should post on the regular support boards.

Now on to pnCPG. I assume you use the latest version (3.4) and all is working ok, meaning that you did set up the Dynamic User Data field and that one get'slogged on properly. If that is not the case, please fix that first (see the readme).
Next you need to examine the settings of pnCPG. The definitions of Coppermine can be overridden by the ones from pnCPG.
Can you attach a screendump of the pnCPG settings ?
