Hi there,

I am considering gallery for use with my virtual community which runs on a CMS system of my design.

I want to allow each member to each have a gallery of their own which they are the owner of.

I want to relate a gallery for each event is in the Events table that members can upload images from that event to.

I want to allow the creation of albums as portfolios to be attached to artist profiles that users will create within my CMS.

I am wondering how many have integrated Gallery in a system like this where a seperate User and Groups table controls the Login info and Galleries are linked to Entities in a CMS.

I am currently reviewing Gallery as opposed to Coppermine.

thanks for any advice.

I should add that I have done something similar like this before with the forum i use (Phorum)

My approach was to create a wrapper that loaded the needed variables for the forum to think the user was logged in if they were already logged into my system.

I have my own login routine where I log everyone in and then sort of fake it.

I can create users in the gallery user table if need be throught the registration script.

i do this with phorum as well just to keep a minimal user table. would i have to do this?

how does it work when you embed gallery into other systems like nuke?
