Thread Name: Is the photo section now defunct?
Subject: RE: Is the photo section now defunct?
Thanks PoppaGator. I thought I'd got it right. They haven't got us completely numbered yet, but they're trying. Very trying!
Now that we've sorted out that there's only one level of access to piccies on our Mudcat personal pages I'm wondering about the feasability of part of the suggestion I made earlier.
The webpage site with the piccies I described above (http://www.sherwood.photosite.com) doesn't appear to need a password to view it, which is why I thought it relevant when others were discussing such problems with other sites. I suspect the software it uses is part of the business run by the student I mentioned. I expect one would probably need a password to add piccies to it.
So, how feasable would it be to set up such a site so that Mudcatters, who already had membership privileges and thus password access, could put piccies on it but the only access to the piccies would be via the password-protected portals of Mudcat?
If this were feasable I suspect there'd be some need for the "owner" of any album (their own group of personal piccies) to have a separate password to control who could edit the piccies, if not the album. And another for the volunteer sysop delegated to manage it for Mudcat.
