Priority 1: "Open access" ("Public"/"Visible") mode does not work #109

Closed danhartline closed 11 years ago

danhartline commented 11 years ago

I made visible several images in the folder:

IGNORE TEXT IN THIS WINDOW, BUT SEE COMMENT OF 2013-08-24 FOR ISSUE OF IMAGE NO-SHOWS

(with "set visible"). A nice [V] appeared next to the browser entry. However, when I logged out and went back into Podbase without a log-on, nothing showed up -- just a Home Page with no "public" project.

[It didn't like me logging on as "guest" either -- at least not when I left the password blank or tried "guest" as the password]

In order to get that to work, you need to add the "guest" user to your project. Click add user, type in "guest".

Make sure that the guest user has "LISTED" and "VIEW_VISIBLE_IMAGES"

You will never be able to log in as "guest". But when you are not logged in, you are considered a guest user.

OK -- Thanks for the clarification! I had envisioned only a two-step process to make an image public (i.e. visible to "guest"): 1. "Sanitize" (Edit) the metadata in Analysis mode; and 2. Activate "Set Visible." This way gives an extra layer of protection (but also 2 extra steps), since the project itself has to be authorized for "guest" access. It doesn't quite work yet -- it shows the directory listings for the images with "Set visible" set, but no images show. I'll log a GitHub issue. I see that the way you have it set up, I could set up a guest log-in project that would allow the guest to try out the full podbase capabilities (by enabling roles such as "owner" and "template editor"). Not what I had originally asked for, but very interesting in case someone wants to play around with Podbase anonymously (they could upload their own images, presumably). Is there a possible security problem with that (an anonymous person uploading unknown files)?

on the image: https://podbase.net/entry/8#/Public/Acartia1/CW080113_Acartia1_10x_BF3.jpg

I added "guest" as a user, and I checked the box for "VIEW_VISIBLE_IMAGES" . LISTED was already checked. [V] shows next to the directory entry for these image names. Logging out and reentering without log-in lets me see the directory entries for the images I made "visible" (as well as the folder names lacking "visible" files -- it would be nice if these could stay invisible). The metadata show, but the images do not.

danhartline commented 11 years ago

Oh --and clicking View image, Download image or Export Metadata give an "Access Denied" screen

julianh2o commented 11 years ago

I've fixed this bug, you can now view the image when it is set to visible.

I've also enhanced the directory listing to only display directories that contain visible images somewhere within them.

julianh2o commented 11 years ago

I've also made it so that "VIEW_VISIBLE_IMAGES" is selected by default when you add a user to a Project.

I've made this a multistep process because it makes sense to be this way. This way you can make it so that certain projects only allow authenticated users to view the visible images and other projects allow anyone to view the visible images.
