Hi,

I have installed zenphoto on my MAS.
Now, I have two questions:

  1. is it possible to get the users from the pwauth of my linux system?

  2. The login-page - I do not see any username/password field. Is there an option to login?

Regards,
Georg.E

  1. "Possible" is everything but besides that I have no idea what pwauth is you will have to create something to import those.

  2. /admin. If you installed it you have been there already.

OK ... so I explain it a little bit in more details:
pwauth is the "linux authentification tool" - see here: http://code.google.com/p/pwauth/
In my NAS, there is a file where the users are in. For example, for my QNAP system, it is found here: /mnt/ext/opt/apache/bin/pwauth. ownCloud, for example, has a nice plugin, where you can use and it gets all users from this table. So you don't need to set them up seperately.
The 2nd thing is - It would be great to have a login dialog on the "normal" page, not only in the admin interface. So the user can login and view his pictures without getting into the admin-interface first.
Maybe you could make this optional as a setting?

Cheers,
Georg

Maybe you should look more closely at what is already available.

The http_auth plugin allows use of your Apache HTTP authentication credentials. If you are not using Apache of course this will not work. We supply features for the mainstream. We do not have the resources to cater to niche markets.

The user_login-out plugin allows you to place a log in form wherever you wish. All the distributed themes support this plugin.

Hi,

thanks very much for the information. Shame on my that I didn't look deeper into the plugin-list.

Regards,

P.S.: these plugins were exactly what I wanted.
