Hi to all,

Until 6.0.6 when changing folder permissions to hide view to guest or user the contents where still displayed on the site page, useful for site page management. One could hide the folder from image gallery for example and still show its content in news items and other site pages to guests and users. in 6.1.x and 6.2.x this has changed and now permissions are reflected to content.

eg.
Change Permission to a Documents and Media folder, say, "Web-Images" to not be viewed by guest
All images within the folder will not be displayed to guest.
Change permission of image, say, "advert-2012.jpg" within "Web-Images" folder to be viewed by all.
Nothing happens image still not viewed.

Don't know whether it is a bug or not but does look like an issue.

Thanks

Have you tried setting

permissions.view.dynamic.inheritance=false

in your portal-ext.properties?

Hi Daniel, Will try immediately, will return with result, thanks.

Hi Daniel, I'm back. It does work!!!
Changed as above and folders are hidden but content is shown to all.
Wow portal.properties are some times pretty cryptic.
Thanks again.
