Great product and a security question

#1 Post by webd »

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.

Well, currently there is no way to secure your images the way Admiror Gallery is working.

But it is an interesting idea, and a 'must have' feature. I will think about this for future releases.

Thanks for pointing this out.
