Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Notes

Purpose of the Mod

Establishes a system of individual media management. Each media can be made "secret" so that it is visible ONLY to connected members. The others medias stay accessible following the normal access rules of TNG.
Once the Mod installed, go to Admin>>Media. A new column "Secret?" is present in the table. A gray icon means that the media meets TNG normal access rules. Click on it and the icon turns green. The media is now only accessible to your members who are logged in. Click again on the green icon, the media is again normally accessible.

Important: To completely remove this Mod, you must DROP manually the field 'secret' from your table 'tng_media' via your PhpMyAdmin interface.
