Please can anyone tell me if it is possibe to restrict access to the Photo Album in the same way as Forums / Topics? At present everyone can see the Photo Album link and gain access to it and I would like to restrict access to particular members.
Probably the easiest way would be to add the UserGroups mod, create a user group for allowed "album viewers", then add some code on you album pages to check there are in the group
In case it's of use to others, here's how I eventually resolved the problem.
Firstly I saved a copy of inc_photo_album.asp as inc_photo_album.bak in case of problems. Then I edited inc_photo_album.asp as follows:
I deleted the text <b>Photo Album</b> from line 10 and the text "&strForumTitle&" Photo Album from line 17. This removed all mention of the photo album from the default screen. I then added a hyperlink to photo_album.asp under a forum category. This then gives me control over who has access to the photo album in the same way as I have over any other topic.
