Programatic Access to Gallery "Privacy"

largelylivin

I cannot see how the Privacy switch on galleries is implmented.


Can it be set programmatically from JS? I was think that I could implement a JS routine that uses a list of 2007 galleries to make them unlisted in order to hide from users upon request.

I have the impression that the API is a client interface. (True?) I'm looking to run this from a JS in the customization section.

the API could be used from the customization section, however, I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't see any easy way to do what you are trying to achieve.

Okay. Here's my other idea. More complicated but I think it will work.

Gallery naming convention: the title of year specific galleries begin with "2007" or "2008". Non-year specific don't start with a year so wont be effected. If I'm a little more cleaver I could make it work for any year.

In JS On Load:
1. I cycle through every gallery and attach an element either: year2007 or year2008 according to title naming convention. Both are initially display:display.

Using YUI event:
1. Create a three way button (2007,2008,all)
3. when the event runs I set the year2007 and year2008 switches accordingly to:
a. event 2007: change year2008 to display: none; and year2008 to display: display
b. event 2008: change year2007 to display: none and year2008 to display: display;
c; event ALL: change year2007 and year2008 to display: display.

I'm thinking this will work but I'm no expert. If you say it will work then I'll hammer it out.

Sounds reasonable that it should work...give it go
