Feature Request: Icon Share Link

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Stress the need to share the link icon.
Clicking the link will be copied to the clipboard. Link link could be 
independent, viz that he could see the picture of the public view, anyone who 
has the link regardless of access rights.

It is important to be able to limit access to this feature per Joomla user.

Reagrds!

This proposal covers a request to introduce a feature similar to how Picasa 
controls album visibility. Picasa features four visibility levels, "Public", 
"Limited anyone with the link", "Limited" and "Only you". Currently, the 
sigplus access control system is heavily based on the core Joomla access 
control system, and has modes very similar to "Public", "Limited" and "Only 
you" visibility settings in Picasa. In fact, viewing the gallery is limited to 
those who can view the content item in which the activation tag is injected, 
whereas options "download" and "metadata" have access levels of their own.

"Limited anyone with the link" in Picasa is what the feature request seems to 
be after. Unfortunately, this appears to go beyond the capabilities of the 
Joomla access control system, which uses cookies (session identifiers) to 
differentiate users (after they have logged in). There is no mechanism to "get 
around" access control by automatically "logging in" if you have a specially 
crafted direct link. In other words, if such a mechanism were existence, it 
could be applied to sigplus; in the lack of such a mechanism, however, the 
feature request is difficult to put into operation.
