Alain Sahli	Friday 01 May 2009 8:54:46 am Hello, I did a website with a lot of images and PDF files. This files are located in the media section. I gave access for content/read("standard", "media") to the anonymous members so they can read content and media files. But my problem is that with this configuration each user can go to www.mysite.com/Media and the media Folder is shown. Can I disable this ?

It's probably one of "those-who-must-not-be-talked-about" ;-) I think, you cannot do this by read-rules, as these usually refer to the objects. As soon as you disallow read access to these objects, they will not be shown in the articles... My suggestion: you should try to override the full-view-templates of the folder class, the image class and the file class IN the media section only (override condition: "section=media") Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

You then switch back to the "media" section to all children of media, and you should be done Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
