Private Photos Viewable by Logged Users Only

We do not have that feature yet.

Could i achieve this feature using tags or perhaps by adding an extra Status: Private?

…maybe then it would be possible to script for it. Alternatively, can you suggest any way that i could achieve this?

Many thanks

I can add status ‘private’ in the next version if you like. This will take only a few days, a week max. ok?

That’s great!

Thank you ??

That’s great!

Thank you ??

Got it working and under test already…

Fixed 6.1.10

Thanks Jacob.

..i need to ask for help with a conditional statement that only displays photos with a Private status if the user is logged.

Can you tell me the PHP code for Status: Private

You could do something like this:

<?php
global $wpdb;
$photos = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM ".WPPA_PHOTOS." WHERE status = 'private' ", ARRAY_A );
if ( $photos ) foreach ( $photos as $photo ) {
echo wppa_get_thumb_default( $photo['id'] );
}
?>

to display thumnails of all private photos.

But, don’t you prefer a virtual album type for shortcodes like:

[wppa type="..." album="#status,private"][/wppa]

I could make this in approx a week or so, then it can do anything like slideshows etc.

OK at this point i’m not really sure which approach is most appropriate, so i thought i would just try to clarify what i’m after by way of example:

This post (https://www.globexposure.net/wales/?p=159) has an album attached to it with 11 photos – 5 of these are Private.

So when a logged user visits this page they see an album with 11 photos.
But when a user who is not logged-in visits this page they see the same album but with just 6 photos.

In reality there may be 10 different albums and i want to keep the photos in the albums that i have created and not amalgamate them into a single private or public virtual album.

With this in mind, which solution do you think will best meet these requirements?

Many thanks

What is exacly what you want to see? Do you want to see only the 5 private in the album of 11 when you are logged in and not the 6 ‘normal’?

When logged in you should see all the photos – in this case all 11.

Logged-out users would just see the 6 normal photos.

That should work now. You can have photos with status ‘publish’ and ‘private’ together in any album.

That’s brilliant Jacob.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!
