preetyPhoto .js and images is not loading guests

Dear Team,
Greetings of the day!

I am a webmaster for Indian Toastmaster Club Qatar. I have noticed one thing that preetyPhoto css and images not loading for guests. I meant once I log in as a member, those files are getting loaded. Once I logout, those files are getting loaded.

Is this intentionally designed like this way?

Regards,
Sekar

What is your issue? What are you trying to accomplish?

I control the system design. PrettyPhoto is just used for certain admin console functions... that is all.

Thanks for the reply.

In the home page, I would like to keep some special meeting agenda image in the div, and when public click on the image I wanted to open on the popup with detailed information.

In some of the places on the home page, we have award div section with "see more" hyperlink. By default inside the div top three awards will be shown. And when public clicks on "see more" hyperlink, in the popup I wanted to show all the awards for that year in the formatted div.
Why I was trying this, most of our club members and guests are saying there are a lot of redirections on the home page. My intention was I wanted to reuse preetyPhoto styles and enable popup. I am seeing this as pain point and trying to provide the solution.

If you enable to load the preetyphoto for everyone, I can give an awesome user experience for our club members and guests.

Please refer to the attached screen.

I appreciate your point of view, but I doubt that many people other than yourself will have the technical know how to use it correctly.

Also, it is a "chunk" of javascript and css that will slow the website load for all website visitors for ***all clubs / districts***, something I am not particularly enthusiastic about.

Have you considered just loading it in your home page content via the source view?

You are using something that we already use, so it is not like it is third party or anything like that.

However, you will need to take responsibility for anything you do with this--if you leave Toastmasters, we would likely just delete the script if your club has issues. It is kind of a grey area in that you are using a script that we use, but just using it for your own purposes. If you run into issues, just give me a shout. I don't do much advanced stuff with prettyPhoto, but I do know where to get the reference information for it.

The other thing is that I have been thinking for some time that I need to provide some sort of PDF viewer functionality that is "baked in" and easily accessible. Let me know how this works out for you... I am curious to see how it goes.

By you just loading it yourself, it is actually a win-win... you get what you want, and I am not loading it early so other clubs do not see a website slow down. (except for admin console use)
