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.
You can also make all the media of your database (or only those displayed on the page) secret or not.
Important: To completely remove this Mod, you must DROP manually the field 'secret' from your table 'tng_media' via your PhpMyAdmin interface.
