    wouldn't it be nice to password protect some collection/album?
    that will make plogger the best, definitely.

    A ticket has been submitted for the dev team, we'll be including it in the next release :) In the meantime, you should be able to implement this manually using .htaccess files.

    i kinda tried (I'm a little dumb at apache's), but it's getting weird 'cause I'm using plogger mod_rewrite option, and that seems to add some troubles in that.

    any help [REALLY] appreciated ;)

    Great script! Great job! thnx!
    I could use some help though!
    I tried to implement passwordprotection of one of my albums using .htaccess -files.
    Didn't succeed! I can't think of a way to do it.
    I put one .htaccess in the right images-folder. That passwordprotects the images. But the problem is that Plogger puts all thumbs in the same folder. An .htaccess in this folder makes all thumbs of all albums passwordprotected.
    Anybody any suggestions?
    Thnx in advance!

    Hi peterpan,

    I can protect the imagesfolder with a .htaccess-file.
    I also want to protect the thumbnails, belonging to that specific album.
    All thumbs of all albums are in the same Plogger-folder.
    A .htaccess-file in this folder (thumbs) makes the thumbnails for all my albums passwordprotected.
    That's not what i want. Just the images and thumbs from 1album.
    Any ideas?

    Feel like sharing your methodology? I might like to do something similar.

    Regards,

    OK.

    One .htaccess-file in the images folder of the album you want to protect, protects the images.
    One .htaccess-file in the thumbs-folder should not protect the whole folder but just specific files in it.
    Both .htaccess files use the same .htpasswd
    The filename of the image, before uploading, should distinguish those images from images that don't need to be protected. For example: rename img0001.jpg to img0001prot.jpg and so on. Plogger generates thumbs with "prot" in the filename.
    So the .htaccess-file in the thumbsfolder needs something like:

    <Files *prot*.jpg>
    require valid-user
    </Files>

    That should do it.
    Veel succes.

    I didn't need it, but thought somebody else might (in fact, it has been asked again), so I thought your sharing might benefit others. I appreciate your willingness to contribute, but didn't need it myself. If I did, your solution looks great, though.

    Regards,

    Please add another voice eagerly awaiting Password protection!

    Currently I have about 50 separate Galleries (and growing) of about 10 photos in each gallery - they are all accessed from a common area, but each separate client gallery needs to be password protected so that others can't view unless invited.

    Any suggestions for immediate solutions in the mean time are gratefully appreciated. Setting htaccess for 50+ galleries/folders is a royal pain and not something easily maintained.

    I too would love password protection.
    Just another vote.

    Have set up password protection using .htaccess as described above.
    I have one collection with multiple albums and I wish to protect the one collection and all the albums within.
    I have a .htaccess file in the root of the collection folder under the images folder and all seems to work well. I also have a .htaccess file in the thumbs folder that protects all jpg files with a defined text string in the file name.
    Where I am having a problem is when clicking on the link for the collection I am taken to the page that displays all the albums within the collection. I am then prompted for the username and password as I expected. I enter the account information and click OK but am then again promted for the account information. If I enter it again then the images for each album will appear. I also tested by just clicking CANCEL when promted the second time and then just refreshed the page and all the images for the albums appeared as well and all functioned as normal.
    Was just wondering if anyone has ever seen this behavior in IE. Everything seems to work fine in FireFox.

    PEACE...

    I can't upload anything (specifically the .htaccess file) into albums via FTP.

    I'm assuming this has something to do with Plogger being the only thing able to upload into that directory, after it was the script itself that created it?

    How to solve this problem?
  19.  
    Nevermind, I used quixplorer to upload it.

    I hadn't considered how it would work, and although it does work, it's very ugly ... I hope password protection gets implemented real soon!

    As you can see, navigating into the album shows the result of blocking the thumbnails:
    first view

    Clicking the little box where the thumbnail should be, to view the image itself results in the following page:
    first view

    It is not until you click the image, to view the full size version, are you prompted with the username/password prompt generated by the .htaccess setup.

    It would be nice if the htaccess code that goes inside your thumbs folder could be modified to display an alternate thumbail instead, but I have no idea if this is possible.

    With Beta 3 out now, was this actually included? I didn't see it in any of the features or upgrade info...

    I have the same problem and in both IE and Firefox. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
