If you want to be a bit more explicit about your anti-pinterest interest: We have a small piece of code you can add to the head of any page on your site: <meta name="pinterest" content="nopin" /> When a user tries to pin from your site, they will see this message: "This site doesn't allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the ...

In my testing I have found that Pinterest does seem to respect the gallery protected setting. That way you can allow pinning from specific galleries and block it from others. I would recommend you set the galleries to protected if you are a Power or Pro user. I would also disable external links as that can also help. For total site Pinterest blocking, ...

Galleries that are unlisted are not visible to general browsers. The only way to access an unlisted gallery is through knowledge of the direct URL, which includes a random string so it is very very hard to guess. If you have multiple galleries that you wish to group together, you can create a share group. Both individual galleries and share groups can ...

Currently, your best bet would be to leave the galleries as unlisted (with the "hello world" and "hello smuggers" settings turned off in the Gallery Settings to make sure searches don't show them) and then create a sharegroup containing those galleries. Here's the SmugMug help page on Sharegroups: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93261 ...

it's very easy to do so. Put this in your bottom javascript box of your advanced customizing: // Add custom right click message rightClickWarning = "All photos are © John Doe Photography. All rights reserved. Unauthorized use is prohibited." Customize the entire part in quotes to say whatever you wish!

There's no time-expiration of galleries. What you can do, is open the gallery and distribute the URL to people, and then when you want to "close" it, simply add a gallery password in gallery settings. After that point, nobody will have access to the gallery without the password. I also suggest that you leave external links off, so that while that gallery ...

Your galleries can be secured on an individual basis. The security can range from marking the gallery as unlisted or enabling a password or both. I mark my personal galleries as unlisted and usually file them under the family category so I can find them later, but place all client work as public galleries that are passworded when necessary.

There are two ways to do this. 1) make those galleries unlisted, and therefore they won't show in the mobile version of your site 2) you can disable the use of our mobile site in your control panel, settings tab. This means that folks using a mobile device like an iPhone would see your site in the normal Safari browser.

The above advice are good options. I want to add that if all of the galleries in a category are passworded, then the category will appear to be passworded. Once the password is entered by the visitor, all of the galleries inside will be accessible as long as that cookie is valid. The default is about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Making all of the ...

As the logged in account owner, you can search through all your galleries, including password protected and unlisted galleries. Visitors to your site can only search public galleries that are not password protected. You can check on that via the gallery settings > security&privacy section. Privacy would need to be set to public and there shouldn't be a ...

You should be able to block everything in your settings. I like to set mine up to display a friendly message about why I don't allow downloads. I tried out what you mentioned: downloading the picture from the pop-up window used for changing size. The only thing I actually download is the html for the page. No images were downloaded. I would suggest that ...

The way I do this is to make a new gallery for the grandkids friends like "Senior Ball Party" and then "Collect" the ones I want to share. The gallery setting is UNLISTED so it is not with the main albums. No navigation bread crumb at the top. Also HIDE OWNER so it just says "SmugMug" at the top and not my account name or other galleries. Now I can give out ...

There pretty much isn't a good way to do what you're asking with a single Smugmug site. There are lots of work-arounds and they are all pretty much unpleasant, extra work to maintain and you give up various Smugmug features. First off, a password protected site protects the entire site. There is no way to allow anything to bypass that site password. It's ...

There is no great way to do this with one Smugmug account if you really don't want one constituency to easily see the content targeted for the other. I struggled with this for more than a year and finally decided that it was massively simpler for everyone (myself and viewers) and gave me much more of what I wanted to just get a second account. I now have ...

Category-level security controls would solve many common use cases. Sharegroups, password-protected galleries, site-wide passwords, and unlisted galleries all come with their own set of problems and limitations. I wrote a skeleton proposal for a more cohesive security and privacy implementation that also includes category-level security controls, along ...
