Image hosting and viewing

[DNic]

First I just wanted to say HFS is exactly what I was looking for. Took a long time to find it  

Ok so I'm on the latest beta and I have a folder that everyone can see called "Image Hosting". When a user logs in they can see their folder only, and of course they can upload, delete images here.
Now when that user gives out that link or uses it, it asks for that person to login before they can view the image. Now I could swear that earlier I was able to view the image, but something must've of changed and I can't for the life of me find it.

Thanks.

P.S. I tried to register, but am not receiving a confirmation e-mail.

Anybody? I hope I was clear enough on what I wanted.

Hi DNic, as forum admin i can see your IP and had a look at your HFS.
I see "image hosting" has no protection, i can enter it, so no login should be asked accessing images inside.
Point is: there are no images currently, so i had no luck on testing it.
You can post a link here, for testing.
Remember this forum is public: feel free to remove the IP address from the url, I don't need it and you'll preserve your privacy.

About the email sending: sorry for the problem. I tried to register an account, and i didn't receive the email either!
In the while i activated your account, so you don't need to get the email anymore.
Anyway, that is very strange, because i had a look, and while we were not able to get any email, other people got it and registered successfully.
Some does, some doesn't. I'll investigate deeper. Thank you for reporting anyway.

Thanks for the reply. Image hosting is freely accessible. However there are hidden folders inside of it that a person can view when entering a password. You can't upload in the "Image Hosting" folder, but once the user logs in they can upload and delete in their own folder.
Here is an example link of a pic:  http://*****/Image%20Hosting/Test/Light%20Blue.jpg

Thanks for pushing the registration

has folder "test" a lock icon on the left? (virtual file system)

Yes it does so only that person can access and upload to it. I know your gonna say thats why it comes up with the login box. But I'm positive when I first upgraded the to the newest beta I was able to do it, so the person looking at the link can't delete it and view other pics in the users folder. I tried leaving it unlocked and unchecked browsable, but then even the user of the folder can't see what he uploaded and delete if necessary.

you want people to access but don't see the listing (and of course don't delete and upload).
at the moment the easiest way to do it, is to duplicate the folder.
you'll get 2 real folders for the same folder: one as it is now, and one public but with no "browsable".

How do I sync/link the 2 together?

[rejetto]

what kind of data of the folder do you want to sync?

I got the uploads to Image Hosting restricted to any image files. So if user Test uploads something to his locked folder how can I sync it to his public viewable, but not browsable folder?

[rejetto]

being them 2 real folders pointing to the same folder on disk, there's no need to sync anything.

Ok I created another real folder of test under Image Hosting. One test is locked the other is not. However when i copy the link to one of the images it still ask for a password. If I uncheck browsable in the unlocked test I can't even log into the locked test folder.

the folders have for sure 2 different names (or they are under different folders).
so even if you upload to folder1, you must give the link as folder2.

Ah I see what your saying......is there anything in the future plans to be able to do what I'm trying to achieve?
