Hi;

don't know if this can suit you -- probably you already know about that, anyway -- but already in local/config/config.inc.php the configuration variable $conf['newcat_default_status'] allows you to automatically set a new category (album) to private status.

Yet I don't beleive it's possible to assign a group authorization to a new album automatically, without a Personal Plugin. But thanks to a Personal Plugin I would be surprised if it makes big difficulties.

OK; well let's see if plg (who built [extension by plg] Community) is interested by your proposal. Notify him if he doesn't answer soon.

Hi Plg,

Concerning the community plugin, I agree with your description of how it currently works.
With my change, if moderation is turned off, the privacy levels of the images are set to $conf['images_default_privacy_level'] instead of 0.

Your example with Craig stays quite straightforward. Currently, when the uploads are moderated, he won't be able to see the images either. So with the new 'default_privacy_level', if he has a too low a level, he has lost nothing. However, all family can see the new images straight away.

I agree with this scheme, because in my use case I want to prevent 'leaking' sensitive images, but share new uploads with the community as soon as possible. :)

About [Bugtracker] ticket 1073, I don't see the trouble with the MySql default value. When an image is uploaded by the administrator (through whatever form) it is always accompanied by a $_POST["level"] value, isn't it?
If I'm correct here, then the database' default level is already always overwritten on inserts.

My changes also only allow the forms default to be configurable.
(Btw, I have implemented the changes I proposed, and noticed that clicking the front-page button to the synchronization page is a submit, effectively overwriting any default form values).

How do you implement this? i want to do the same, closed community except for registered users.  id love to implement this feature if possible.

Currently the privacy level of new images is 0 (hard coded).
I'd like to use my piwigo install for a closed community, where the new images (that any user can upload) should not be accessible to the public by default. Therefore I suggest that the privacy level of newly uploaded images should be configurable.

Using the following changes this can be implemented:
- add the next line to default_conf.inc.php

Code:

$conf['image_default_privacy_level'] = 0;

-apply the following diff (note: not only the core files are touched, since one change concerns the community plugin):
