It all depends on permission. They have to be able to view albums and they have to be able to view other albums and other albums have to let them view albums.
Thanks
Finally i found it.
For all other users that want to show albums to guests
You have to set
General Permissions --> Can View Member Info
to YES
and User Album Permissions --> Can View Albums
to YES
I'm looking for a function that would automatically add a link to the member's album in each of the member's posting, if the member does have an album. The link should be placed in a post, somewhere near member's name, or near his/her post count.
But members can have multiple ablums and it looks like it calls albums by id, not by user, so you'd need a query in order to call all albums by a user, and then you'd have to figure out what to display for it - how to pick which album to link.
you might be able to dig in the code for this mod and the page that displays it to reverse engineer it so it pulls all albums from the poster, if you felt strongly about that functionality.
Most members of my forum will never have albums. Those who do, however, I would like to somehow make it known (in each of their post) that this particular member has album(s). There could be a small picture/link if the member has album(s).

album.php?u=USERID lists a users albums
There may be a if conditional to display a link in postbit. I don't know off the top of my head. Quick fix would be just include the link for all users. Wouldn't hurt anything, and could possibly in a way encourage people to upload to their albums.
I'm still having a problem with banned member's albums still showing.
In my forum, banned members are not allowed to have albums.
In a banned user's member profile - the albums are not viewable except for admin/moderators. No one else can view them. But in the "forums/all_albums.php file", they are viewable by everyone under the sun. How can I have this corrected?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version 2.3 - running on the latest 3.7 vbull, and it's still showing banned members - and any member not allowed to have an album. Please help!
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the problem with that implementation is that it creates a link to albums for everyone - even for those who have no albums at all.
Nevertheless, I did subscribe to the thread, hoping a solution will be discovered.
