Access rights problem

[volleho]

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of phoca gallery (1.8.2) and plugin (1.8.0).

My problem is that the plugin shows the thumbnail in a content page, but if you click on it then it is not shown at all. A new window opened but there is the frontpage shown and a message that the user has to log-in first to access the internal part of the website.

But the same image could be accessed using the category view of the phoca gallery without log-in. Any idea?

BR, Volker.

Is there the same id of both images (in plugin or in category view) for the category (catid)?

[volleho]

Yes, the category ID is the same for both.

Here is the plug-in code:

{phocagallery view=category|categoryid=4|imageid=19|detail=0|displayname=0 |displaydetail=0|displaydownload=0|displaybuttons=0|float=left|imageshadow=shadow1}

and the category link:

index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=4

no idea what can be wrong, I am trying it on my demo sites and everything works

Hi Jan,

I have found the root cause for this error.
If you add a galery link (list all categories) to the user menu, then you are not able to view any image of the gallery via plug-in without logging in.

Can you fix this or do you have a workaround?
Problem is that we need to have a public and non-public category...

BR, Volker.

If you add a galery link (list all categories) to the user menu ... I don't understand?, what is user menu, it is a standard menu?

[volleho]

There are several menu types in standard template like topmenu, mainmenu, usermenu...

User menu is a menu with restricted access to registered users only. You have to log-in first to access all menu items.

Please take a look at "dortmund.dartonline.de".

I don't see any problem on your site, in gallery there is no image, on start site, everything works ???

[volleho]

Yes, it is working now! Problem was that a menu entry to the gallery in user menu (list of all categories) was restricted to registered users only. Therefor none of the images could be opened. This seems to be a conflict in access level.

Nevertheless thanks for your quick responses...
