Hi all, I have various albums on my gallery page. I would like to password protect some of the albums like (Family, 45th B-Day, etc...) but not other albums like (Astronomy Pictures). For example I want club members to be able to access the "Astronomy Album" but not access the "Family Album".

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Drew

yes: use permissions: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Quick_Start_Guide#Configure_Permissions
or the password module: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:password

Thanks Dave, Im still having trouble locking down individual Albums, I have the password plugin but I can only see the Edit album not Edit Item when I click the "album actions" tab? What does that mean "Configure in General tab of "Edit Item" / "Edit Album". " Is that the drop down under each album?

Usage
Install the module in site admin
Configure in General tab of "Edit Item" / "Edit Album".
If captcha module is also active then configure security level in captcha site admin.

Thanks for your help Dave

Ok Dave update, I was able to hide individual albums by removing permissions for everybody and registered users, now I give to "Family Group" permissions to view all and it works, nobody can see album unless in that group. I would rather have everyone see the albums but be locked down via a password if thats possible. For now this works thanks for all your help.

We don't have a 'look but don't touch' feature.

Depending on the theme, yes. Edit album or edit item and on that page there is a general tab, near the bottom there is password protection and hidden album, if those modules are installed.
