i posted the answer on another thread:
http://www.boonex.com/forums/#topic/Default-settings.htm
set album view to members only by default.
though this is not a setting in the admin panel specifically, it is an achievable task.
login to your database --> sys_privacy_actions
round about id = 8 album_view && module_uri=photos with default group set to 3
its currently set to 3 edit this and change it to 4
[or you can run this sql statement]
UPDATE sys_privacy_actions SET `default_group`='10' WHERE `module_uri`='photos' AND `title`='_bx_photos_album_view'
the where clause coupled with the AND just holds a safety net, that you are not going to fork off something, you could omit the module_uri, but there are other `name`='album_view' so you have to narrow down your query on this.
i am making an assumption here, and of course you know what goes with assumptions.
now look at your admin panel under settings
look at the privacy settings
Default --> 1
Me Only --> 2
Public --> 3
Members --> 4
Friends --> 5
actually found something more solid to go on other than my presumption:
inc/classes/BxDolPrivacy.php
on or about line 25
define('BX_DOL_PG_DEFAULT', '1');
define('BX_DOL_PG_NOBODY', '2');
define('BX_DOL_PG_ALL', '3');
define('BX_DOL_PG_MEMBERS', '4');
define('BX_DOL_PG_FRIENDS', '5');
define('BX_DOL_PG_FAVES', '6');
define('BX_DOL_PG_CONTACTS', '7');
you could disable default, which is set at 3 not sure where that is at, i found it once before, but it eludes me now, and its supper time.
now from admin, go to site home to your profile icon, click on photos, then on Add Album, you will see "Allow viewing album to: Members" as being default.
though what i noticed is that the default album is set to public.
so you can change all albums that are already created with a sql statement on the sys_albums table in the database.
two ways, if the only setting on sys_albums is 3
UPDATE sys_albums SET `AllowAlbumView`='4'
Else
if there are multiple values on the table
UPDATE sys_albums SET `AllowAlbumView`='4' WHERE `AllowAlbumView`='3'
both do relatively the same thing, just using a where clause on the second statement narrows your query.
though what i found uncomprehensible was that in sys_privacy_actions
there are values set to default:
=a
=f
=p
so if anybody knows what those mean, kick us a clue.
if you want to go further, you can search the database for everywhere boonex has set public --> as the default
i.e. Profiles table allow_view_to is set to 3, if you want this to be members only, then run the sql statement:
you will also notice on this same table, that you can set PrivacyDefaultGroup --> to Members, but i think this can also be achieved by what little actual admin control is available from the admin panel.
UPDATE Profiles SET `allow_view_to`='4' WHERE `allow_view_to`='3'
UPDATE Profiles SET `PrivacyDefaultGroup`='4' WHERE `PrivacyDefaultGroup`='3'
i personally believe that allowing this functiont to be managed by the user is a nightmare, but good luck and to each his own.
