I'm totally new to Gallery and have zero PHP experience but I've been enjoying playing with it. I've searched the forums, documentation, and various help files, but none of them seem to be able to address the way I want to set up my gallery on my web site. Perhaps this isn't even possible, but I'll throw this out anyway:

I want anyone who visits my gallery to be able to upload photos (without having to register as a user). HOWEVER, I don't want any album/photos to be visible to anyone until the admin (me) grants permission.
My ultimate goal is to not require people to create a user account to add photos, but I still want control over whether submissions are appropriate for my gallery (I'll just delete those that are not "approved").
Is this possible and if so how? Thanks in advance.


Gallery version = 2.0.2 core 1.0.0.2
PHP version = 4.4.1 apache
Webserver = Apache 1.3
Database = mysql 4.0.26-log
Toolkits = ArchiveUpload, Exif, Ffmpeg, ImageMagick, NetPBM, Gd
Operating system = FreeBSD
Browser = Firefox 1.5

that's not yet possible without creating your own module, no.

I was afraid of that. For anyone who wants that functionality -- I checked out Coppermine Gallery and it can do exactly that (admin validation of photos uploaded by visitors).
Keep up the good work!!
