Is there a way to keep thumbnails viewed by all, but photos viewed 'registered only'?
 

I want people to register to view the pics in my albums, but the thumbnails that link to the album are only viewed by the registered users when I post them in the forum. Is there a way to remove the permission check from the thumbnails by editing the template anywhere? I doubt its in the admincp...

someone please help me out with this? I dont want the permission on the thumbnails... I want anyone able to view them even theough the album is set to 'registered users only'

Is it possible?

I was able to create an if statement in the template so members could click the thumb and see the full sized image and all others got sent to a signup page.

In --> Template: album_picturebit

<if condition="!$show['guest']">

<a href="album.php?$session[sessionurl]albumid=$albuminfo[albumid]&amp;pictureid=$picture[pictureid]"><img class="alt2" src="$picture[thumburl]" alt="$picture[caption_preview]" border="0" style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!$usercss">border:solid $stylevar[cellspacing]px $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]</if>" $picture[dimensions] /></a>

<else />

<a href="http://xxxxxxxxxx.com/forums/register.php">
<img class="alt2" src="$picture[thumburl]" alt="$picture[caption_preview]" border="0" style=" padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;
<if condition="!$usercss">border:solid $stylevar[cellspacing]px $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]</if>" $picture[dimensions] /></a>

</if>

awesome, so the permission is set to allow unregistered to view... then i edit the template with the above?
