Gallery items don't respect forum permissions

I'm testing groups at the moment and only a handful of users have permissions to access the groups section of the site.

I just tested the gallery with Son's gallery and the photos I uploaded are visible to the public o_O

The photos appear in the latest post widget on the home page and on the new posts page of the gallery.

The album itself doesn't seem to appear in the albums page of the gallery though.

This is a general problem with Social Groups add-on. Neither Gallery (also not XFMG) is protected by the Groups permissions. This is a bug that is really old.
 
Wasn't it in the last versions that group members could post pictures in the media gallery of the group but when you know the URL everyone could see the pictures even if it was a secret group? Have you fixed this @Nobita ? Does Media added in the social groups only be accessible to their group members?

FreelancerYes.
 
I use XFMG and NSG 2.6.5. Still I see ALL media of the entire XFMG in the MEDIA tab of ALL GROUPS.
In addition to that, if I add media to the groups, including the secret ones, it is displayed on the XFMG index even if "hide media category" in NSG is selected. It only hides the category but NOT the media...

How it must work:
  1. Media posted in Public Groups: Show in Group Media + Show on XFMG index
  2. Media posted in Closed Groups: Show in Group Media + Do NOT show on XFMG index plus no access even if the URL is known
  3. Media posted in Secret Groups: Show in Group Media + Do NOT show on XFMG index plus no access even if the URL is known
  4. Media posted in XFMG: NOT Shown in ANY GROUPS' MEDIA tab
This is an issue since 30 updates now. Please fix this.

I have dropped the option show media in index. It is not need anymore. In next version it is auto handle each media, if any media belong to public groups so it is visible to anywhere.
 
So all groups media can not be seen now even when having the category opened in XFMG?

Can you please give out a new updated version then to test it?
