Private images

Do you think that the private images are necessary? If they are private, they should not show up.  You can't do anything with the private images anyway. Why force members to see them if they're not clickable or don't tell us which members they are posted by.  I'm starting to see them more and more now and find them a bit exaggerated and useless.  This privacy setting can be found everywhere, (Photos, Videos, Groups, Events, etc etc). I know I sound picky but it will save you room on each page. :)

Actually I think they should remain, however when a member who does not have access to them should be re-directed to a "request access" form. Basically. its an email that is sent to the owner stating something like (member) is requesting access to (Gallery Name).

I do not think they will do this because it would allow you to assign viewing rights on a "per member" basis instead of a group like faves, friends, etc.

I had a mod on my 6.1.4 site that would let you do this, so maybe, just maybe, they could implement something like this in D7 also.

Yes your absolutely right, but current Dolphin architecture not allowed hide all private elements.

Why would they want to see them if they have no idea what they are.  lol.  I'm sorry but i think they are useless and wasting space. If you have over 20,000 members, you will see a lot of annoying private images everywhere between images, videos etc (probably 5,000 of them).  I just think that "invisible" private images would be better.

Okay Sasha.. i guess thats how it goes.  thanks

I think that is absolutely wrong!  I have so many pictures my users add as members only.  On my homepage, I only see Private and users cannot do anything with that.  What's the point of showing them?  If we could we show them the thumbnails of the picture and when a user clicks on it, it tell the user to get an account.    That would be great.  I would encourage users to get an account.  I cannot go live with my site because there is a blocking bug from my QA dept.  I am trying to fix this myself but taking some time.  Same for videos and music --- I have to fix all these things before I can go live.

really need to see private albums - in albums - (photos / albums / browse / all) - is unnecessary and it's not pretty

and there is not even a link to find out which bel>

Create a function  if isPrivite do not display els blah blah..   add the db query to the module db file.

Resolution: Fixed

I hope Alex fixes his fix soon.  This is driving me nuts.

and another point is...if someone adds photos to a public group or event,

the photos are automaticly in the private folder of that user and then show this locked icon

they should be automaticly insert in a public album of a user

any solution to remove this private albums image? It looks so bad....

My QUICK Fix to hide "Private"s

1) /modules/boonex/photos/templates/base/browse_unit_private.html (source file to display "Private" in Photos)

2) /templates/base/album_unit_private.html (source file display "Private" in Albums

Step 2: Create Blank Files, Upload to same locations:

- Open Notepad, don't type anything. Save as "browse_unit_private.html". Upload to /modules/boonex/photos/templates/base/

- Open Notepad, don't type anything. Save as "album_unit_private.html". Upload to /templates/base/

@ philshi - is it working?

I am new to Dolphin7 for only 2 weeks and have tried this and works perfect for photos (Beautiful)

I did the same to  /modules/boonex/videos/templates/base/browse_unit_private.html to hide private videos as well.

Thank you philshi. Very nice find.

agree with you Zarcon

Thank's 4 sharing guys

Awesome!  Thank you for posting this extremely easy fix to a very annoying problem.  No more blue locks displayed.

That is pretty far removed from anything I would call a fix.

It might not be the greatest fix, but it DOES work, even on 7.0.9
