Permissions Change without me choosing, and will not change back

[rojadrik]

Okay, whenever I go to edit a category in my album, such as adding a description, it wil change the permission to view by "Me Only", even though I never even touched said option.  When I go to change it back, I set it to "Everybody" and when I update, I get the "No update needed" message.

Here's the debug info on my "Update Info" page:

[Joachim Müller]

don't post debug_output unless requested by a supporter. You probably set an album password, this will set the "me only" dropdown as annotated in the docs: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#album_prop

Album Password: you can specify an album to be password-protected (instead of relying on the "regular" group-based permissions). This way, you can even allow access for unlogged users (guests) who you provide the password to. Use this option, for example, to set up an album for your family members only by specifying a password that only they can come up with answering an additional password hint (e.g. "What was the maiden name of aunt Emma?"), or you could decide to send the particular password to specific friends, family or business associates by email. The optional password hint will be displayed at the password prompt, when set.

Note: when setting an album password, the permission dropdown field "Album can be viewed by" will be switched automatically to "me only" - this is expected behaviour. If you change the "Album can be viewed by" to another selection, you must disable the album password as well.

Please read the docs before asking questions.
