What's the designed behavior of sharegroup?

Hi Nelson,

I am sorry you are having difficulties.

Actually the way Sharegroups is designed, the galleries that are Private are only accessible from the Sharegroup page, not from the general pages.
The way Private galleries are designed is that you have to follow a URL link before a cookie is created. Sharegroups provide a way around that but only if the galleries are accessed through the Sharegroup.

I am sorry but we don't have any plans to do uploading from FTP, or other sources.

All the best,
Toni

Hello,

I found that sharegroup link does not fully function as it design, let say I created a share link Ah Sa, http://ahyuen.smugmug.com/share/e5Yvvhh8QxP6Y, it should able to view 5 private galleries and cache the cookie. But I found after cookied, it can only view 3 galleries from main entry. Two ‘Wild Camp’ galleries are still hidden. Only way to access these two galleries is from sharegroup link. Please advise what’s the problem with these two galleries. I have already tried to build a new sharegroup link and switch on/off the ‘Public’ property of two ‘Wild Camp’ galleries, but the problem is still there.

BTW, may I give a suggestion to the photos uploader. It is better if it support uploading a ZIP file and also pull from a [URL="http:///"]http://[/URL] or [URL="ftp:///"]ftp://[/URL] link. Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks,
Nelson

Of course, I don't satifiy with this reply. It is because if his stand point is true that private galleries are ‘only’ accessible from sharegroup page, how come other 3 private galleries are accessible from general page after cookied (only two ‘Wild Camp’ galleries are inaccessible from general page)?

I am newbie, I am not sure what is the correct expected result. Pls comment.
