Topic: Multiple Password-Protected Galleries [SOLVED]

I am running version 1.5 pro (very happy with it!) and I have a gallery page with several password-protected Juicebox galleries with password protection.  Is there anyway that the system can 'remember' the password that was used to open one of those galleries, and then apply it to  a second gallery so that a user would not have to enter it a second time?  I would envision the common password as being the key that would permit 2 or more galleries to be opened by one login.  If the previously entered password doesn't match the pswd.php password array contents, then the dialog would be presented again.

Thanks,
Steve

Re: Multiple Password-Protected Galleries [SOLVED]

The only way that this could happen is if:
(1) All galleries share the same 'jbcore' folder (and therefore the same 'juicebox.js' and 'pswd.php' files): https://www.juicebox.net/support/embedd … ore-folder
(2) All galleries are opened in the same browser tab during the same session.

There is no other way to have a single password work across different galleries.

Hopefully you'll be able to get this working in your site.

Re: Multiple Password-Protected Galleries [SOLVED]

Steven-
   Thank You!  You can mark this as solved.  That worked very nicely and did exactly what I was hoping for, and a lot easier than I was afraid it would be.

    Out of curiosity, I note that there is a full.html file in jbcore - what is it for?  I attempted to open it directly and it failed for lack of a config file.  I modified the config argument and then it just didn't open the gallery.  Nothing appears to be broken for it (apparently) not working.  Is this something I need to fix or worry about?

Thanks,
Steve

Re: Multiple Password-Protected Galleries [SOLVED]

You're welcome!
I'm glad that my suggestion was useful.

The 'full.html' file is used internally by Juicebox when a gallery is expanded (via the Splash Page or the Button Bar's Expand Button) on a page of its own (i.e. when expandInNewPage="TRUE" or on iOS devices) rather than on top of the embedding page.
As such, the 'full.html' file should be left as it is and should not be modified.
(Please see the Expand Gallery Behavior support section for further information.)
