client login tab

tate · January 7, 2017

Hello! I tried to do a search but didn't find what I was looking for, so I apologize if this was asked previously. Me and the computer aren't a good mix, so I paid JR Customization to help update a few things on my website. I had wanted to have a client login area, which she did for me. I have the tab client login, and can give the login information. The problem is that the gallery is open to the public. I don't like that idea, and wanted it locked down . Do any of you have a client login tab and if so, how do I set it up to be private?

A gallery can be either public or unlisted. If you change it to unlisted you will need to give your clients the URL for them to use to log in since unlisted galleries only show when the URL includes a "key"; unlisted galleries won't show on the browse page of your site.

If you'd like to see an example of a URL for an unlisted gallery, this URL opens an unlisted gallery on my site - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Medley/galleries-by-date/n-GzNHG/. Without the n-GzNHG on the URL the gallery is not viewable.

Keep in mind that the Client Login uses our "Private Sharing" feature in which you select "People I Choose" who have access to those galleries. They must login using the account they create when you invite them to the galleries. Anyone that isn't authorized won't have access to those galleries, even if they can see that they exist because they're "Public". If you want to hide them, then you can make them "Unlisted" as @denisegoldberg described above.
