Letting Friends Edit Image Captions?

kriyababaji

I have a private gallery that I would like a friend to be able to edit the photo captions, I have turned these features on in the customization control of that specific gallery. However when I log out and go see if I can edit these captions, I doesn't seem as though I can. Am I mis-understanding this feature or doing something wrong?

Help please? Thank-you

This feature is for "friends" on SmugMug:

Friends and Family Help?

Are these the directions I am supposed to follow:

If so they make no sense, what do they mean by "Friends Page", Does my friend have to have a smug mug website?

How do I define my friends and family in smugmug? Is it in the control panels?

I have made the smugmug Friends and Family feature visible on my home page (which i'd rather not have to, and it seems to be of no help)

Thanks shnae

Friends and Family are SmugMug subscribers. If you want non-SmugMug subscribers to be able to edit captions, well, there's the guest password feature of our Pro Account:

Almost got it.
Thanks Andy

Cool feature! But how and where would I enable this feature once I have defined a guest password? And how and where would my guest enter the password so they could edit gallery captions?

Thanks shane

As a pro subscriber, you'll have a guest pw field in your control panel. They sign on with your email address (or nickname) and the guest password.

Sorry sitll don't know?
I am at a loss as to how to communicate my question.

I know I have a guest PW field in my control panel, I have set the PW. Now how and where do my friend access this. Once I logout I go through my whole site and there is no field prompting a guest to enter a PW.

When they log on to www.wildearthilluminations.com, where do they access the prompt for a guest PW?

Do they use the Login link embedded in the footer?

thanks shane

or, on any public SmugMug page, like www.smugmug.com

I'd stay away from handing out the guest password. It provides much greater access than just caption editing.
