Enable "anyone with the link" by default?

[user_6592f]

Hi,

I have a Chevereto website that has "Website privacy mode = Private" so that any visitors have to login first, and I would like users to be able to share image links with anyone. I could set "Content privacy mode = Force private (anyone with the link)", but that creates a new album for every upload and prevents the images being explored by other users. What I'm looking for is a way to have "anyone with the link" enabled by default. Is that possible?

Thanks.

To answer my own question and in case anyone else wants the same thing, the solution is to add this line in the /app/legacy/routes/image.php file:

        if (! Login::getUser()
            && ($image['album']['privacy'] ?? null) != 'private_but_link'
            && ($image['album']['privacy'] ?? null) != 'public' // allow public image links

And if you also want to share albums, this line in the /app/legacy/routes/album.php file:

        if (! Login::getUser()
            && $album['privacy'] != 'private_but_link'
            && $album['privacy'] != 'public' // allow public album links

I think it'd be nice if this could be made a built-in option.
