    locked galleries with album image icon, rather than locked album icon?

    all of my galleries have access restrictions in place to protect my clients' images. however, I would like for the display icon for the gallery to be an image from the album (as it is when the gallery is not locked) instead of the "****LOCKED" folder icon, so that my visitors at least have something to look at while they are there.

    is there any way to accomplish this?

     

    thanks in advance,

    Jamie

    It is possible to choose any image from the gallery as a cover photo. The image selected as the cover image must have public access. While you have protected the whole gallery and all photos inside, one of the images you choose as the cover photo must be set to public.

    remember too that because the gallery is password protected, you CAN make all images inside the gallery public without concern because the gallery itself is locked.

    Kevin, I'm not sure but there might be one concern. If a customer with password sends out links directly to photos inside the gallery all people getting to know this link can see those photos without entering the password. So it depends what the photogr wants to achieve with protecting a gallery or photos.
