How can I make an external user be authenticated to Gallery 3? Is it possible e.g. with setting of some session variables or overwrite some methods to get the users data?
Need help. I want to embed galleria 3 into an elgg installation with his own user management.
Thanks Torsten

We haven't implemented any 3rd party auth yet. The current plan is to create a driver-based approach inside the user module, but I haven't found time to work on it yet. If you're interested in starting on that, please create a git fork somewhere (GitHub preferably) and let's chat about how to approach it.

Yes - sounds good. I don't have too much time, but that would be great to have such possibilties. Escepcially because we do not have any user authentication module. (I think for many people this could be a showstopper to use gallery 3.0)
I dont have experiences with git, but my be you support me. And you tell me about the user module, and what to do. We could chat, but I'm in germny, may be we have to find overlapping time :-D

Best thing to do is to show up in #gallery in irc.freenode.net and we can chat there in real-time.

Has this gone anywhere? I am interested as wel;l in using gallery with an external auth system (mysql based) to only allow authenticated users into gallery (all users will have same perms and will not be uploading)

Thanks
