Hi jortex696;

ddtddt notfied me of your post (thanks to him ;-) ) because I'm currently working (hard :-(( ...) on an improvement of [extension by LucMorizur] Event Cats to add a validity date feature.

As described in [Forum, topic 15622] [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories, Event Cats mainly adds the possibility to build an URL able to log in a user, wothout him to have to provide the username and the password. Thus does it give the possibility to send a link, allowing to access directly to a private category (or album). The validity date feature will allow to make this URL outdated at a certain date.

Currently the plugin does not yet include the validity date feature, but it should be the case in... let's say... a few months? Come on, Feburary should be OK. (Mainly because another feature has to be added too, and I work on this project around 2 hours per day, but these two hours are equivalent to half an hour of a true programmer :-/ ...)

Don't hesitate to ask for more details :-) .

Obviously very eager wait until February, now that if you could DEVELOP before, would be wonderful ...

Well indeed I have a job taking already a lot of time; and I have a family too; and if programming is a hobby I practise for a long time now, it's still absolutely not my main skill, and I'm quite slow.

Yet validity date feature is quite on its way now, I can publish it sooner than February in a 1.3 version of Event Cats, rather than publish directly the version 2 as I intended to do, if you tell me it's handy for you.

One could also restrict the user by ip, so that only access the system with 1 or more ips?

Event Cats doesn't manage IP's.

For information to possible other readers, I made an answer on this subject in [Forum, post 117170 by LucMorizur in topic 16685] User and password + ip.
