share button

Is there an easy way to leave out the share button when sharing but leave in/on when logged in? When I customize the gallery and check no, it also takes it away when I am logged in. Right now I am using the trail version. I want to share photos with family and friends and some of them use social networks like face book and myspace and I do not want my son pics on any other websites.

If you are power or pro user, you can add CSS customization that will hide the share button only when not logged in, letting you use it when logged in, but not allowing your viewers to see it. This is the CSS to do that:

.notLoggedIn #shareButton {display:none;}

You go to your Control Panel, Customize Tab, Advanced Site-Wide-Customization link, CSS field and paste in this:

.notLoggedIn #shareButton {display:none;}

Then, scroll to the bottom and hit the Update button.

Great, it work. thanks so much for your help. (that was easy too) Just wondering with no share button, will this help prevent my pics geting on to other websites by people viewing my galleries? or should i still pass word protect them?

The Share button is just an easy way for people to get URLs to your images. There are many other ways. The only foolproof ways to prevent this are to limit the available size (in the gallery options) to something smaller than original and then to either password protect the gallery or add a tastefully done custom watermark to the images.

Anything that can be displayed in a browser can be borrowed (or stolen) by someone else. That's just the way the web works. Even if they have a hard time getting the URL, they could capture a screen shot of it and use that.

So, if you don't want people to take them, then you must do the things I listed above.
