That's great Rod!

Likewise good Sir smile

I think it was the beginning of the summer 2010 maybe 2011 perhaps, I had a real issue on my hands as I had to find a way of making photo galleries that I could sell prints to the skaters and parents from the clubs I was working with.

There are a few companies over here in Finland that will do everything for you - host the gallery and process the order as well as send the images out to the customer but the percentages you pay for the subscription and the cut they take, it's just not worth the effort.

Then there are e-commerce solutions that have no method of applying attributes on import, so each photo has to be treated like an individual product.

The last gallery I uploaded for parents had 2700+ shots. Imagine having to inventory that and add each image as an individual product.

I also called a software company and asked how much it would be to have a small piece of software designed, they approximated around 150,000€.
It was an interesting conversation, I think the coffee stain is still visible on the ceiling and on my old Samsung display.

TTG is literally a life saver for me in so many ways. I have learned a lot but my knowledge is still very limited and I make many mistakes, but TTG gives a chap like me a chance at getting job like this done smile

I wish all the very, very best for it's future smile

Hi Rod,

Thanks for your suggestions mate, I've done all of the above and finally gotten success when visiting from my laptop and iphone.

Anyway, it seems that everything is now working as it should and I can only convey my absolute gratitude and thanks to all here.

TTG is a one of kind and without it, offering a service to the parents of the small skating clubs I work with each year, would just not be financially viable without it.

I sincerely thank you all smile

T.

Hi Ben!

Many thanks mate, I just tried the test gallery and it loads the gallery without the log in screen.

I have never used the log in details before, does me being signed into TTG&cart make any difference?

Thanks again Ben

Hi Ben!

Cheers very much - PM sent with all the details!

Matt,

Already on that my good man, just awaiting a response.

Thanks guys! Looking forward to your findings!

Hi Ben,

While I await your wizardry, my client has agreed to have a non password protected gallery over having to wait any longer to begin browsing so I have had to change the following gallery to a non password protected one:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/tl

However, I will leave the test gallery live that also displayed the same problems:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/test

At some point I am going to have to password protect galleries for clients, so if we can get to the bottom of this, I would be really happy smile

Kind regards

Tomas

Thanks Rod! I PM'd Ben smile

Thanks again for your time smile

Thanks Rod, I was just admiring the Northern Lights shot on your website. That's a hell of shot! I've indulged in the whole collection, you have lovely work Sir smile

Anyway, yes, I have tried changing the permissions both 755 and 777 (which is what they are set to by default). Seems to have no effect sad

I created another test gallery:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/test2/

username: Username
password: Password

This loads but totally bypasses the password protection for some reason. I have triple checked that when creating the test2 gallery that 'Enable Password Protection' is checked.

I am more than willing to hand over my ftp details to Ben, I recall him saving the day when I had some bugs with CE2 a good while ago.

I've done all that, try clearing your cache:

You should be seeing this:

http://gyazo.com/b13c14f2585a6c3fdca7ab12dc9eff8a

When trying to load the page:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/

As for disabling ads - as I mentioned - there are none to disable as the codes for the ads and the google tracking code have not been pasted into the index files yet:

These are all ad and tracking code free:

Thanks Rod!

My apologies, I should have been more clear - I intend for all my galleries to have ads but the test gallery I linked to has none. Nor does the client gallery I desperately need the password protection working on: http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/tl/

I use no plugins and insert the google ads manually along with the Google tracking code.

It's the last thing I do once a gallery is up and running.

As for the auto index, I just tried your suggestion and interestingly enough the same error appears:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop

Internal Server Error:
Directory "/home/storym4chi/domains/tomaswhitehouse.com/public_html/printshop" is writeable by group

Hi Rod,

Many thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

Okay, here is another created gallery with exactly the same template as the client gallery, only the password has been changed:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/test/

All the galleries contain Google ads.

I really hope we can find the issue that is stopping the galley from functioning correctly.

As for the auto index, I'll have another try but I am really having no luck following the directions.

Maybe it's possible that the reason the password protection fails is also the same reason why the auto index shows no galleries?

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/

The following galleries are in that same directory:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/evt/
http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/hl/
http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/ntl/

Hi Matthew,

Many thanks for your time smile

I bought and downloaded CE4 last week, so I assume that's the latest?

Also, are there any directions for 'debugging'? I searched on these forums but it came up blank, so did 'disable php plugins'.

EDIT - I just checked the gallery within LR and 'Enable PHP plugins isn't checked:

Hi there,

I recently upgraded from CE3 to CE4 and there seems to be some issues with password protecting a gallery. Of course I could be doing something extremely silly but I am literally at my wits end and would gratefully appreciate some help.

I've made several galleries with just CE4:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/evt/

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/hl/

These work just great, however when I try to password protect a gallery like this one:

http://www.tomaswhitehouse.com/printshop/tl/

I get some stress.

First thing I checked was which version of PHP my host is running, they confirm version PHP 5.4.

I can't offer the log in details as I must protect the wishes of my client but is there anything that's obvious to you fine folks with far better knowledge?

Any help is tremendously appreciated.

Kind regards

Tomas
