Hi,
not sure which section of the forum this should go to, so I'll try here.

I'm currently using SmugMug and I'm considering switching to Piwigo. I managed to set up most things the way I want them, but I'm wondering about one thing. On SmugMug, with private albums as an admin, you see an "Unlisted" label over the thumbnail. It's a quick way to remind you that you're dealing with a private album. Like so:

Is anything like this possible with Piwigo? Doesn't have to be a label per se, any indicator really would be nice, like maybe a small padlock icon (kinda like the icon that shows up for recently updated albums) or something. I realize the user access in Piwigo is a bit more granular, but all I'm really talking about is something along the lines "if album has the flag 'private' set for anyone, show indicator".

I'm currently using the Bootstrap_Darkroom theme (with some customizations), if it matters.

I've looked through the extensions and search on the forum here, but couldn't really find anything. Apologies if I've missed something obvious.

Thanks.

Might be possible with an extension plugin but someone would have to create one..

I figured, given that nothing like that is mentioned anywhere as far as I could tell. Thanks for the answer anyway. I guess I just might use some kind of "predefined" thumbnail for the private albums and maybe see if it would be within my ability to come up with a more elaborate solution like a simple plugin.

Maybe you could add a special character within the album title, before and after the real title.

I tried this here : http://photos.katrynou.fr/ Of course, it won't be automatic, but it will remind you which is private and which is not.

A simple and yet rather effective and smart idea, even if indeed not automatic :) Some of my private albums do actually have an album title to indicate this, but not all, and those that do have it at the end. And since I truncate the album title, it can get lost if the title's longer. Clearly it didn't occur to me to follow this idea through and think of putting an indicator at the beginning.

Thanks.
