I also want to combine the login system of my app with gallery's. I'm not using PHP, which might make it a little more complicated? I don't want people to have to log in twice, so I want to either have my app access the login info of gallery, or the other way round.
Because G1 lacks groups, this isn't as important/urgent as it will be when G2 is no longer pre-alpha: I cannot create many new users and then painstakingly give them access to all the albums they should be able to access, so I have one user for gallery, which I give access to to many people. For my app, they log in each into their own user though, so two login systems are fine for now. (Or ... might it be possible that if they log in to my app, that my app could then automatically log them into gallery as whatever user they should be using, thereby simulating a kind of "group"? That might be very useful.) In either case, this question also applies to G2, probably more so.
Thanks!
