Feedback System Died !

[ArtM]

I had the feedback system working fine. Since I have added a bunch of exhibitions. Now it no longer works.

BUT - the Feedback selector in Misc Settings still says Allow feedback for each exhibition.

Any tips ??

Hi Art,

Feedback link is hidden for exhibitions that have a password (i.e other than "public"). This is because there is no point showing feedbacks targeted to hidden exhibitions to all visitors, and there are also other logical problems in having public and non-public feedbacks in same system.

And you have no public exhibitions there at all now so none of them have feedback links.

The hidden exhibition system was originally designed to be a way to present work to clients, and in that case there was no need to commenting (it is all done via email). But if you think feedback for hidden exhibitions would be needed, I'll start thinking a logical way of presenting them so that security is not compromised. The commenting system, which is coming, will of course be there for all exhibs, as it is presented on each photo page separately.

If you like to hack current EE to show feedback from public and non-public exhibitions, find and remove

if ($pass=="public")
{
..............
}

in strategic places in list.php and feedback php pages. But you should be aware of the implications mentioned above when doing that.

Cheers,

Pekka

OK, sorta . . .

To each his own purposes !! I'm trying to use EE as a means of showing photos taken during visits of/with friends, to those friends, who may live far away. In some cases I don't want some viewers to be able to browse all galleries. So the only way I could figure was to make them all private & send the private access URL to each interested party !

Ideally, I would still like each exhibition viewer to be able to comment on it (and ideally on each photo), but have the comments be only viewable on that exhibition.

Thus comments on individual exhibitions are desirable, hidden or public - as long as they are only viewable within that exhibition, and not by other exhibit viewers.

I think some of this would be solved by having a user login/password & exhibit priviledges system.
