User specific galleries.

Post by jgjh151 »

I need to have the abilty to make a user account for a client, then make a photo gallery with pics for only this client. I need to do this for many clients.

Can assign a specific user to the gallery so that only that user can see this gallery? I would like to put a link in the user menu such as "My Project Pics" so that they can click this and it goes to their gallery and only shows their gallery and not other galleries created for other users.

Is this possible?

------------------
I have set up Categories in the component already and have 2 demo users accounts set up. I have assigned a user in a sample category to access level: registered, access rights to "wilson" (my demo user) and upload/delete/publish to administrator. I only want the user to be able to see the pics.

I have done this 2 times for 2 demo users. So I have to demo users and 2 categories.

When I go to front end and login as a demo user wilson, I still see all the sample galleries I've created. I can view the pics in the wilson gallery. When I click on one of the other galleries, I see "You are currently logged in to the private area of this site." and do not see the pics in this gallery. This is close to what I need, but I can't have the other categories.galleries visible to the user. They should only see their category/gallery.

Hi,

in the Phoca Gallery configuration you can choose not to display unaccesible categories.

Phoca Gallery configuration

Where do I find this? Is this a config for the component or do you mean in the config for each individual category/gallery?

I see "Phoca Gallery Control Panel", but there is no overall config screen to edit setting for the component. In the config for each individual category/gallery, there is no option for "not to display unaccesible categories".

Found it, the Parameters button on top right.
