Hi guys
I've set up a personal gallery with Chevereto and have created a bunch of albums. Most are public but I've made a few of them pivate (with a password). The idea was that I would provide friends and family with this password and they would be able to view the private albums in addition to all the free ones whereas people who simply stumble across my site see only the public content.
The way I envisioned this working was that users who are not me see a full list of the albums and when they click on a private one, they're asked for the password. However, this doesn't seem to be the case - it seems instead that private albums are all hidden from everyone other than myself.
If no-one else can see a private album, then what's the point of it having a password? Because they can't use the password to view the contents of an album they cannot select, and I don't need the password either because as the album owner I'm allowed access by default. The whole concept of the password therefore seems redundant - unless I'm missing something here.
So, my questions:
1. Is it possible to do what I want to do here? If not, is there another way to achieve the same thing?
2. My absolute preferred system would have been to be able to create family accounts and to make them "friends" who then by default get to view the albums that I have made visible to that group - like the way Flickr works. However, it seems Chevereto doesn't have anything like this and that's why I instead came up with the above flow. If however there is a plugin or another way to achieve my first choice then that would be preferred since it removes the need for people to remember a password at all.
Thanks in advance!
