Hi all
I think I already know the answer, but I wanted to double check. Presumably, if you don't grant public access to a top level folder, you can't give public access to a lower level?
I have albums broken down by year and then event as below:
2011
2011/Event 1
2011/Event 2
2010
2010/Event 1
2010/Event 2
etc
I have a need to allow 2010/Event 2 to be publically available and would prefer not to have to create another Virtual Album and associate.
Can this be done? I come from a networking background, and when I want to do this on a server, I grant access to the lower level folder and then the user is granted enough access to all folders above to see the route down. So if I grant access to 2010/Event 2, they are able to see 2010 and 2010/Event 2 but nothing else.
I have tried to grant guest access to 2010 and 2010/Event 2 to recreate this...but when I visit the gallery as a guest, I still don't see any albums.
**EDIT**
In fact, I don't seem to be able to see any album that is marked as public when I am not logged into the gallery. I can't see any reason for this

Aaargh
I can be such a moron sometimes. I figured out my problem.
Firstly...the permissions work as I wanted, so thank you for that. If I choose to give the guest account permissions on the lowest level...Piwigo grants Guest permissions on the levels above.
My issue was that, during upload, I had removed Guest visibility from all photos on the Gallery (thinking I was helping be nice and secure). So I batch changed all photos to "Everyone" visibility and, surprise surprise, it worked as expected.
Ah well...
Cheers
