User album for specific role

Yes, This is something I've been looking into myself...I'm trying to see at what point in the module it creates the album so I can rearrange some of the code in there to be specific for the role I want to give the album to.
If someone can give some direction that would be great as I could potentially make some eventual changes to make it a more permanent feature and contribute to this rockin module...

Thanks....

So I managed to get something going...Its not that dynamic but works...and it ain't pretty either but again...it works for now....Its really only 8 lines of code spread between 2 files. I'm sure there is another way of doing this thats cleaner but I was in a pinch and needed it like yesterday.

So this is assuming you have the user choosing his role on registration. I still need to get it to work with the user changing his role after registration.

k...I started in the user.module file...line 1240. Right where it takes the form values for the roles and sends them through the filter... and I added a foreach statement to role through the array...as it s doing that I then put an if statement in there to search for the role specific to what I wanted for having the gallery. In my case the role was "Artist". So id it found the role "Artist"..I then created a session with that role. Thats it...

  if (isset($form_values['roles'])) { // user module code on line 1239 or so.
    $roles = array_filter($form_values['roles']);    // Remove unset roles
	
	foreach ($roles as $role){ // this is the code I placed
	
		  if ($role == '4'){ // mine
		  $_SESSION['artist'] = "artist"; // mine
		  } // mine
	  
	} // closed my foreach.
	
	
  }closing user module code isset

On to the other file.
Now...in the "module.inc" file( located in the gallery2->modules->useralbum folder). I started on line 137 where the "switch case" starts. I found the "galleryentity:save" seemed the best place to head the gallery creation off at the pass. So within that "case" I first converted my session to a variable. then unset the session. After which I then moved down to where the "if createmode equals immediate" and added my own "if" just above that line. My "if" statement says "if variable equals artist" and then closed that "if" on parentheses before the "break". here is the full case code I used....

case 'GalleryEntity::save': // gallery case begins line 137
	
		$artrid = $_SESSION['artist']; // ------mine - taking the session created in the user module and putting it into a variable.
		unset($_SESSION['artist']); // ---------mine - clearing the session so we don't get any duplication.
	
	    $user = $event->getEntity();
	    if (GalleryUtilities::isA($user, 'GalleryUser') &&
		    $user->testPersistentFlag(STORAGE_FLAG_NEWLY_CREATED)) {
		list ($ret, $createMode) = $this->getParameter('create');
		if ($ret) {
		    return array($ret, null);
		}
		
		if ($artrid == "artist"){  // -------- starting my if 
		
			if ($createMode == 'immediate') {
				GalleryCoreApi::requireOnce(
							'modules/useralbum/classes/UserAlbumHelper.class');
	
				$ret = UserAlbumHelper::createUserAlbum($user);
				if ($ret) {
				return array($ret, null);
				}
			}
			
		} //ending my if ---------------
		
	    }
	    break;

Thats it...when the user registers and creates a role at the same time...This should get it working that only users that chooses that specific role will get a gallery. You can change the role name obviously...that should be the only thing you would need to change. i have this working with the contributed e-commerce module "Pay per role" Works great with out it though. Just using the auto assign role module.

This is with Drupal 5.7, e-commerce module latest stable for 5.7(5.x-3.4), with auto assign module, and a few other unrelated nick nacks. If anybody uses this code and has some trouble please post back here and maybe we can get some work into it to make this a bit better...or a lot better....lol.
Like I said...I'm not totally proud of this but it works in a pinch.
