anybody used anonymous login successfully?

My goal is to allow a visitor to access the public albums in an account, i.e. without knowing the password. The smugmug.login.anonymously method appears to have been intended for this scenario, and it returns a nice SessionID. But now how do I associate the anonymous SessionID with an account? Specifically, how do I use the smugmug.albums.get after an anonymous login?

Thanks much,
Tomasz.

Tomasz,

After an anonymous login, you need to pass the nickname parameter with the smugmug.albums.get function so that the API knows what user gallery you are referring to.

I haven't used this function with anonymous login, but it works fine if I want to get another users' images after I have logged in.

Hope this helps,

David

Yes, DevBobo, this does the trick.
