Be able to have unlisted galleris' photos appear

Timmy · August 6, 2013

In the old SmugMug we were able to have unlisted galleries and then enable those photos elsewhere, either on our SmugMug site or other sites. Now with the new SmugMug we can't do this. I want an about photo on my bio page, but I don't want a public gallery of pictures of just me for all my visitors to see. Please, fix this!

External linking must be on in any gallery for the thumbs/photos to show on any other page or site.

Make sure it's on in the unlisted gallery. Looks like they might call it this now.

Thanks, but unfortunately that will not fix it. I talked with one of the heros and they said "You are correct - Unlisted galleries cannot be the host of public photos on your site. You will need to put those photos into public galleries. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If you feel this should be different please feel free to add your feedback to our feature request page on Dgrin. "

Total garbage, we have to have somewhere to put "site files" for banners, etc.
I linked my banner from an unlisted gallery. All my photos linked to forums are in an unlisted gallery.

I publish photos from unlisted galleries on my blog all of the time. Those galleries allow external links and the photos display as expected.

Most of the photos in my blog are from listed galleries, but others are not. For example, this blog post shows a photo from an unlisted gallery - http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com/2013/07/bridge-grand-opening-ceremony-update.html.

I agree. That behavior makes sense for a private gallery, but not for an unlisted gallery. An unlisted gallery really is available to the public, it's just not linked from your site.

I have not seen any definition of "private" vs "unlisted" yet.
I can't even find any link to Smugmug help pages?

That's not a correct statement at all. Many of us are using this feature currently and it works fine. Take a look here as an example on my Prints page. These are photos directly from an Unlisted Gallery: http://landandseaphoto.smugmug.com/Navigation/Prints/n-3BFHQ

As is this photo from an Unlisted gallery:

I think "Private" refers to password-protected galleries while "Unlisted" is open to anyone with a direct link to the gallery but it isn't visible on the homepage (or wherever one displays their galleries).

I read somewhere that "Private" galleries can only be seen by the Owner, no matter what (i.e., even if someone else knows the URL). And can't every type of gallery be password protected?

From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1229910-new-smugmug-what-are-the-gallery-level-privacy-settings-

Top Secret, PRIVATE Pages

Private Galleries/Pages/Folders are TOTALLY private. They can ONLY be accessed by the logged in owner of the site. There is not a way to share a Private gallery.

Something like a "site files" gallery might fall into this but are photos embeddable elsewhere? Like banner photos?
