Gallery 2 Config Problem
I would like to have multiple distinct users, a husband, wife,and each child,
be able to login, each with their unique user and password.. and;
1. share ONE album
2. be the album that is shown when "my album" is clicked
3. be the only album associated with either user

That would allow either person to log in and control their joint album
while still allowing other users access through permissions

This would eliminate each person (husband and wife) from having two distinct albums.

Is this possible?
IF so, how. I think I have tried almost everything before asking and I just dont seem to be able to get it done.

I understand that a single unique ID and password used by all family member would work,
but I would like their access to be be more personal.

Thanks, Anne

Thanks for the try, however, that does not give each user control over a single shared album.

What I am trying to do is make ONE unique album "XXXX" that is SHARED by either of the two users, "A" or "B".

This would allow "A" to login and control the album "XXXX"

This would allow "B" to login and control the album "XXXX"

When "A" is logged in and clicks MY ALBUM, the album "XXXX" is displayed

When "B" is logged in and clicks MY ALBUM, the album "XXXX" is displayed

This will make the husband "A" and the wife "B", able to access ONE album and each have total control over the album depending on which person is logged in.

Visitors will be able to view a single album "XXXX" and see the pictures of "A" and "B"

Thanks for the help... Anne

yes that would work for getting access, but not for logging which of the two users was logged in when something is done,
hence my need for "unique" login and password.
Thanks.. Anne

You can add add/edit/delete permissions to any album for any user/group.
But you can only have one owner.
So that said, you would not get the ability to have a "My Album" link or automatically jump to "My Album" on login for anyone but the owner without major changes to the User Albums module.

I can foresee a possible custom coding solution, but you'll have to ask for that in the marketplace.

If this is just for logging, then it does not give the user any "more personal" experience as they would not know its happening.
Also gallery does not log events like adding/editing/moving/deleting items unless an error occurs.
