Hi! I have actually a gallery running on which only registered users can access to it... And the account creation is disabled. I have also another Internet site on which I want to show random images from the gallery. So the ImageBlock is the solution. The problem I have is the restricterd access to the gallery, causing the block not to display any image... How can I do it? Have I to modify the code of the imageblock module to use a form of login for the block on the gallery? Thanks for your help, GrauNykho, who has probably not explained clearly his problem

well, you want to show non public content publicly. g2 doesn't allow this of course. what's the point of restricting access and then adding a security whole with the imageblock?

My site is as confidential as my gallery: there are only a dozen of persons who surf on it from times to times.
So it is not a problem for me to display non public photos on a public site.
I understand that my answer is strage, but it is an idea I have to enhance my site ;)

if both sites should only show pictures to logged in users and if they are on the same server, then you can use GalleryEmbed.
else, there's no easy / obvious solution to have restricted access in g2, but public access through the external imageblock.
