feature to manage protected albums

I am building my gallery with ZenPhoto and I find that it is a really powerful tool.

I would like to set up the following feature to manage protected albums :
- have a page of connection for users which also allows the registration of the users
- when one user is not connected, he does not see protected albums (at present we have an image with a bolt) in the list of the displayed albums.
- when one users is connected, he can see and access the protected albums

how can i do that ?

    Unpublished albums are not visible to users not logged on.

    But are accessible by anyone who knows the url. I suggest to read the user guide entry about user rights.

    sure, they're not visible ti users not logged on.
    but they're in the liste of displayed albums, with a lock on the thumbnail.

    i wish that the protected albums are not displayed at all, unless you are connected.

    example :
    you have 3 albums : 2 unprotected and 1 protected.
    if you are not connected, you only see the 2 unprotected
    if you are not connected, you see the 3 albums

    You are getting "protected" and "published" confused, I think. If an album is unpublished, only logged-in users with access to that album can see it. It sounds as though you are wanting a combination of protected and published to accomplish what you want.

    As said before, it would be a good idea to read the User Guide entry about this.
