I updated my zenphoto to 1.1.5 and had it regenerate everything, and the "Protect full image" option is on, but when it still makes a link to the full image and loads it.

Why wont it work?

Protect full image just passes the image through the watermarking process. If you want the image not to be available at all you need the nightly build and to set the option to "no access".

Additionally, create an `.htaccess` file with the following content in your `albums` folder:

`order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from 127.0.0.1`

Because, if you don’t do, the images are still accessible by typing the full URL into the browser’s address bar (and thus bypassing zenphoto)

... or is this “bug” already fixed?

Dirk, I used the .htaccess you put there, but it ends up preventing some thumbnails from being generated. I hope the next version of ZenPhoto will have real protection for the files in the albums folder.

Nevermind I see where he posted something related to this at:
http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2290&replies=9#post-13684

I may have to try the nightly version on a test machine and see if it has image protection.

The best is still not to upload any really high resolution image that anybody will have any use of it.

Hello,
I am using Zenphoto version 1.3.1.1 [5816] (Official Build)
Current gallery theme: zpFocus13
I am trying to set the full size image to protected view. I want a user to register or log in before viewing the full size image. I have the image options set to protected view, no cache and disable hotlinking is set. I've selected the login plugin.
My full size images are still loaded. I have read the instructions for this, but I guess I am overlooking something. Any suggestions? Thank-you.

They also need to be password protected if you do not want them loaded unless the user has the password.

I did set a password for the image. I forgot to mention that.

Not sure then what is wrong. (You did logout to try this, didn't you?)

Anyway, current version of Zenphoto is 1.4.0.2.

Yes, I did logout. I have not upgraded because my theme is not compatible with the current version of zenphoto. I am waiting to upgrade when the new version of the theme is available.

Well, sorry, we really can only support the current release due of lack of resources.

Hmm, I can reproduce the issue with the latest nightly-Develeopment.

Just to be sure: Of course any protection is overriden if you call the full image by url direclty. This only works if you use the `getFullImageURL()` function to get the url. In that case the full image is processed via a script.

A "real" full image protection would require a proper `.htaccess` within the albums folder.

Of course! I knew I was missing something :-)
Thanks
