Hello All,

I havea pro account and most of my galleries use the right click protection, block originals, block access to large versions, and for some watermarking. Each gallery also uses a separate password. Is there any way for my main account to bypass these settings when logged in and viewing photos. Basically we want to avoid having to upload photos to two galleries, but have the protection based on if the user is logged in with the admin account.

thanks

Hi, there is not a way to have your photos not right click protected for you, as logged in user, I'm sorry.

Thanks for the amazingly quick reply. Any chance some sort of feature like this is in the cooker? Or maybe someone has a suggestion. We have a photographer shoot all our concerts and as a department we own the originals. But our students are to only get access to proofs of the shots to order prints from the photographer himself. So we would like to have one gallery locked down unless you are the admin. However I guess we could use two galleries with different privacy settings, but i am assuming there is no way to link to the same originals and this would require two uploads.

Hi, yes - use 2 galleries, one for you, one for the students. I'm sorry we don't have a different answer for you...

No problem Andy and thanks for the quick replies. It adds a bit more work but luckily we have the bandwidth to support the extra uploads. Also our photographer already gives us watermarked version for the public albums.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, the right click is handled by javascript , so you could use something like this, Quickjava enable/disabler:

to quickly enable/disable javascript.
