Make website galleries not public

Hi,



I use your backlight with client response so that my clients can select images accessing with their email and password. I just realized that if a client access a certain gallery and then goes to the address bar, he can delete the name of his gallery, and access the page where other galleries are shown. Even though they wouldn't´t be able to access the other galleries without a password, they are able to see what work I have done for other clients. For example:

a client access this gallery:

http://www.rafaelgamo.com/galleries/taller_iturbide/

but if they type

http://www.rafaelgamo.com/galleries/

then they are able to see the names and thumbnail of the other galleries.


Is there a way to avoid this?


Thanks!

Rafael

Re: Make website galleries not public

this is normal. They shouldn't be able to access others' albums though.

To avoid this, hide the albums. You can do this on a per album basis by editing an album in Publisher and under the Features tab, click the Hide from Album Set check box.

then give your clients the URL http://www.rafaelgamo.com/backlight/client-response
They'll be taken to a log in page. When they log in they'll only see their albums. When the log out they won't see others' albums even if they go to the Galleries page because you've hidden all the albums.
