Great product and a security question
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:05 pm
Hi Guys,
Have installed this and it's easily one of the best joomla extensions I have seen. Well done.
I use it on my site by pointing it to a drop box folder that syncs my phone photos, so each time I take a photo it gets automatically posted to my gallery. Very neat and it all works great.
However I need a way to secure the gallery because using my setup anyone can get a photo by guessing the filename.
I have tried using an .htaccess however that needs a secondary authentication which is undesirable.
ids there a method similar to this? http://www.en.joomgallery.net/faq/gener ... mages.html . It works apparently because images are accesses via php instead of http ?? . needles to say IO tried it and it did not work with AG.
any hints will be greatly appreciated.
