It may sound weird, but I'd like to allow core -> Add sub-item privs without allowing core -> View Item privs. What I want to do is allow visitors of a site to upload images into a "holding album", without making those images available to be seen by the general public until they are approved. Someone with admin privs would periodically browse through this "holding album" and move appropriate ones to a publicly viewable album. Now, I can set the privileges as I want but attempts to access the upload page without having view privs just gets redirected to the login page. Is there an easy way to get around this? |

No, not out of the box. Try searching the forums, I think people have done this before, but 1) I'm not sure if it's been done and 2) you will have to modify core files. And I'm sure if it has been done it's just a hack to hide the album and if someone knows the path or ID of something they can still view it.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that would be the answer. It might be acceptable to have users create an account in order to upload, though that was not my ideal choice.
