Unlogged users can't see galleries

#1 Post by klingklang »

Hi :) First of all, thanks a lot for this beautiful little extension, powerful but so easy, perfect for the (quite basic) needs of my site.

I have this problem I can't figure out though: i have a main folder and a bunch of subfolders (albums). These albums work perfectly when logged in, but a public visitor can't even see the pictures list: he clicks on the album thumbnail to no avail. Obviously something must be wrong with folder permissions, but I can't figure it out. So far I've tried to:

1) open an image by pasting the complete url on an unlogged browser -> works (so the images folders must be accessible, right?)
2) change to 777 the permissions of /plugins/content/admirorgallery and all subfolders/files -> no luck
3) uninstalling/reinstalling the extension -> same as above

Which folders should I check the permissions on? Anything else?

Thanks again :)

I suspect that you have cashe turned ON for public visitors and OFF for logged users. Can you check this?

You don't need to change permission in cases like this, you can restore to 755.

I wasn't aware that cache could be enabled per user group... how can I check this? Should cache be turned off for everyone then?

Thanks :)

I disabled site cache altogether, and now it works for everybody. I wouldn't like to do that, though... any workaround?

Thanks!!!

I agree that disabling caching is not the best idea.

One solution would be to disable cashing for the page where you use Admiror Gallery?
