Controlling photo visibility level

Now you can control the visibility level of uploaded photos using the standard Piwigo levels:

  • Admins
  • Admins and Family
  • Admins, Family, and Friends
  • Admins, Family, Friends, and Contacts
  • Everyone

There are two mechanisms in place:

The default level which appies to all photos with no individual visibility level assigned. This default level can be specified in the publish service settings, or in export options:

new_1-8_defaultlevel

You can override the default level for individual photos using keywords. First, create these special keywords in your catalog as follows: go Library > Plug-in Extras > Piwigo Export Plug-in Extras, then click "Create Keywords":

new_1-8_createkeywords

Once the keywords have been created you can find them in the Keyword List panel. Now you can start tagging your photos.

new_1-8_createkeywords3

The visibility level you assign using Piwigo keywords overrides the defaul visibility level, whether you publish or export your photos. Just make sure to use a single keyword for tagging - if you assign multiple Piwigo keywords, the resulting visibility level may be unpredictable.
