Topic: How to get rid of that thumbnail preview with password protected album
I know it's not a very straight path to view a member's album pictures, particularly if they are password protected. once on their profile, you have to go 'pictures', then click on thumbnail next page, then enter password, then view album thumbnails, then click a picture. VERY complicated.
vlad, could you please put album password field on MAIN PROFILE PAGE instead if member's pic password protected and SAVE this mod in the new system update. Also display beside the password field the number of album pictures available. Otherwise, just display thumbnails under main pic, if available. This would save lots of confusion.
Anyway, here's my quick fix to cancel the thumbnail visible on password protected page:
Go to member_albums.tpl and find the code around midway like this:
<!-- IF session.showadult AND session.can_view_adult_images --> ----------
<!-- ELSE -->
-------- <!-- ENDIF --> -------
<!-- ELSE -->
<a href="{top.virtual_path}{album_pictures_link}">
<img src="{top.virtual_pic_path}{album_preview}" alt="" border="0" /><br /></a>
***** Now change this last line image source to read: *****
<img src="{top.virtual_tpl_path}{session.template}/media/album_picture_none.gif" border="0" /><br /></a>
INSTEAD OF: <img src="{top.virtual_pic_path}{album_preview}" alt="" border="0" /><br /></a>
This will display the stock image photo instead of a preview of the member's password protected image!
I know it's not the best fix, but better than nothing. Vlad, please attention this post.
