Need help sorting out how to use 23? Or have you discovered one of those nasty bugs?

photo access management

izzy fdo   October 18, 2005, 03:16 AM

At the momement there are two modes of photo access - private and public. From my understanding, a private photo (or set of photos) is available to the user and a public photo available to anyone.

I was wondering if there were any plans to allow for public photos to be restricted by a password. In this way i can 'lock' an album (or set of photos) with a password, make this password available (by means external to 23, email or IM) to only a select people to view them.

thanks for that. Seems the short answer for my question is that "its in the pipeline". Well i hope this feature gets implimented as there seems to be much interest in all(most of the) the photo sharing community applications in having different levels of privacy.

Izzy,

You can infact all ready to this very easily with the send function.

The send function generates an unique url that grants the people you send it to access to the specific photos you've selected.

Try it out and see if if it does what you're trying to do.

We are working on granular access control - but probably won't go down to creating unique passwords for individual albums.

Thomas,
I tried it out and it does what i was hoping to achieve when i was thinking along the lines of setting a password for a given album. Infact this method is simpler - a unique url to distribute. Done :) I believe this is what most people are after, so thanks for this tip. It gets better, im able to set photo's to private and have them available to selected people by this method.
cheers for this mate!

Thanks.

The send function actually is really great and works for a lot of social situations.

We'll have to be better at communicating how simple and powerful it really is.
